15:15 YELLOW CARD Krull
15:10 SUBSTITUTION Soldado for Adebayor
15:05 SUBSTITUTION Lennon for Lamela
14:54 SUBSTITUTION Kane for Capoue
14:49 YELLOW CARD Capoue
14:45 GOAL Tottenham 1-2 Newcastle - Ayoze Perez (58 mins)
What a turnaround. Since the break and the introduction of Sammy Ameobi and Remy Cabella, Newcastle look a totally different proposition and they have smash-and-grabbed the lead.
Moussa Sissoko lays the ball left to Remy Cabella who holds his run just enough to stay onside and supply a swirling delivery to the back stick. Ayoze Perez, on his first Premier League start, gets up superbly to flick a deft header into the far corner.
White Hart Lane is stony silent apart from the pocket of away fans.
14:38 YELLOW CARD Jack Colback (Newcastle United) is shown the yellow card for a bad foul.
14:33 GOAL Tottenham 1-1 Newcastle - Sammy Ameobi
Alan Pardew, managerial genius.
Inside 10 seconds of the restart, substitute Sammy Ameobi pulls his side level, chasing down a Jack Colbeck lump forward to slam a low shot past a startled Hugo Lloris.
Spurs are paying for that first-half profligacy.
HALF-TIME Tottenham 1-0 Newcastle
18:00 YELLOW CARD Yoan Gouffran (Newcastle United) is shown the yellow card for a bad foul.
13:48 GOAL Tottenham 1-0 Newcastle - Emmanuel Adebayor
Check the expiry date on that contract. I think Emmanuel Adebayor could be due a new one.
Newcastle's defence get overloaded as it tries to suppress Christian Eriksen and Nacer Chadli down the Tottenham left and is not ready when Ryan Mason scoops the loose ball back to the far stick. Emmanuel Adebayor rises like a salmon to slam home the header.

Newcastle have picked up more points in the Last 6 games, but are still looking for their first away win of the PL season

It was me. Mmwa ha ha.

Im going for a draw 2-2 kane might start and score being positive here but we simply are unable to keep a clean sheet even if our life depended on it so all Square.

Like how we couldn't keep a clean sheet against Southampton. You nearly failed at the first hurdle, and if Lloris wasn't sent off, you would've failed at the first hurdle.

 

[riggi]

I don't like them

True, but they've also played a much lighter schedule than we have.

It's interesting though that we fared better in our last three games than I expected we would, and of course considerably worse in the previous three given the disparity in quality between the respective sides. Fucking Spurs.

 

[carpediem991]

Must win. Absolutely.

Maybe i should rephrase it then i think it unlikely we will keep a clean sheet as i dont think much of us defensively as we are naive and sloppy.

I keep writing about this in the Kane thread but I'm really really excited at the prospect of Chadli, Kane, Lamela and Eriksen all rotating during the game. We could, at different points, line up with one of them left, one right, one behind and one up top - should make it impossible to mark them and all four can 1) score and 2) assist. It's a frightening prospect and, with the ages of the four of them, they should be given time and games to build up a rapport together and the four of them could be a unit for a very long time.

A colleague of mine is taking his 2 sons to WHL for the first time as they started suggesting that they might support Liverpool, or even Chelsea. That is reason enough for this to be a must win game.

Throw in the fact that this is the first of 4 (maybe 5) winnable fixtures in a row and that the game is dedicated to Bill Nicholson and it all culminates in me having a very sore throat come Monday morning.

They really aren't very good and their recent results have been ground out with very little quality on show. If we start fast we'll stuff them. If we start like we did against WBA then anything is possible. I'm all for Kane starting but I also thought Ade did well on Thursday and aside from the penalty miss, last week was arguably Soldado's best game for us in the Prem, so I won't grumble whatever the selection.

4-4-2 please.

IMO Eriksen and Lamela together don't work. It will be interesting to see the selections against Newcastle. They are a top 10 team currently in the relegation zone

It's going to have to work at some point (and IMO it will and in fact, already does to an extent). Leaving just one of them out will make our team so much worse.

 

[Saul]

one of our prime problems is the inability of Chadli, Eriksen and Lamela to defend when we lose the ball, they are collectively hopeless. I would look at pushing Mason further forward, and partnering Capoue with Stambouli or Bentalab when fit.

again.

 

[prawnsandwich]

For sure our problems are in defence. If we play our 2 best strikers though we should be able to overcome.

Really? I think lamela and Chadli track back well.

I disagree, we looked more fluid going forward against man city than we have all season. So I wouldn't break up the front 4 that played that day.
