Tottenham Vs Newcastle: Match Thread

[goughie1966]

Dreadful decision by Poch. It appears he's frightened of dropping Adebayor. It's going to be a long afternoon...

 

[THFCSPURS19]

No Stambouli on the bench? What's he done wrong?

 

[gushayes11]

No Andros on the bench?

 

[atoubasrightfoot]

Ade? Seriously? But in Poch I trust.

 

[carpediem991]

Stambouli and Townsend not even on the bench....

Subs: Vorm, Davies, Chriches, Dembele, Lennon, Kane, Soldado

 

[THFCSPURS19]

@thinktank - You can't defend that. That's the first time I've really been pissed off with Pochettino.

 

[SlotBadger]

Great decision to "rest" Soldado at home to a shit team midweek, then...

 

[0-Tibsy-0]

I'll state my displeasure at Ade starting now. He's been awful recently and does not give a good msg to Soldado after City and Kane in midweek. But that will be it in terms of criticism before a ball has been kicked-there will be a reason for the selection, it's just not one I follow at the moment.

Behind the lads everyone, including Ade. COYS.

 

[atoubasrightfoot]

Is stambouli injured?

 

[walworthyid]

Would have gone for soldado but the rest of the team is what we expected and probably the right one on form and merit.

Ade just isn't solid enough up there. Wanders too much and makes it difficult to build attacks off of him.

 

[mark87]

Very glad to see kaboul and vertonghen starting at cb.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Adebayor undroppable once again. Ffs

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

With the rise of Mason, Stambouli looks like he is way down the pecking order without a chance.

As for Paulinho, he has to be finished here.

The less said about Adebayor starting the better, woeful man management and decision.

 

[Nocando]

Is this an appropriate time to say COYS?

 

[ds]

Gutted that Soldado isn't starting (and that it isn't Kane playing in his place)

 

[goughie1966]

It could have been worse. Lennon could've started!

 

[chrissivad]

Newcastle: Krul; Janmaat, S.Taylor, Coloccini (c), Dummett; Sissoko, Anita, Colback; Obertan, Perez, Gouffran
Subs: Elliot, Haidara, R.Taylor, Ameobi, Cabella, Armstrong, Ferreyra.

 

[ClintEastwould]

Sorry pochetinno, what exactly kind of decision is that?

Adebayor has been very underwhelming all season while Kane and Soldado have just had their best games. Logic would assume one of the latter starts.

 

[Larryjanta]

Gutted for Kane. Ade, don't fuck this up, we need to big performance for you if you're keeping young HURRIKANE our the side.

 

[Mr Pink]

Disappointed Soldado isn't starting in place for Ade but the rest of team is what I fully expected to start.

COYS.

Lets get behind them.
