Tottenham vs Newport: FA Cup Match Thread

[heelspurs]

Rose turned the wrong way then poor decision.space was central

Yeah, but the space central would not have allowed him to dribble with his left foot...curse of the 1 footed player.

 

[WiganSpur]

shame we don't have any kids on bench as be nice to see them given a chance 2nd hlf, but I suppose if this was going the other way I would be moaning for not having back up on bench
This is why Poch job is so hard, just get job done and leave Harry, Alli, Eriksen on that bench Poch.

I'd bring KWP on for Aurier but we don't need anything else. Perhaps bring on Sanchez for Son idk.

 

[paulcumpstone]

Wanyama, lamela and son have been good.rest of them fairly average and not really currently pushing the first 11 (centrebacks excluded) want much more from aurier and rose. Llorente is very limited and dont really suit us.rarely do we cross a ball into thw box at head height.

Gary Byrtle.

He's a giant twat, often commentates on lower league games.

Man, does he hate us? He just constantly paints things as if we're awful and alluded to us getting lucky for the first goal. Newport had a nice 15 minutes but after that it's been all us and they've done nothing. Just seems so strange.

We do have walker p on the bench so he may get a run

Even big vik looking rusty

 

[fatpiranha]

Not that he's having a terrible match but Sissoku's first touch really is awful for a professional footballer. It's like he's wearing boxing gloves on his feet .

I think we put too many big names on the bench. The game is, predictably, won in first half and we need to take a few players off and save them for bench or poss start on Sat. I would bring KWP on and get Son safely off. Then somebody on for Wanyama - would have been useful to have a yoof player or 2

 

[Snarfalicious]

Perhaps harsh on Dele who hasn't really done much wrong but i'd consider starting Eriksen, Lamela and Son against bus parkers in the league.

I'd just drop Eriksen deeper, sit him next to Dier or Wanyama and keep Alli in the side.

 

[felmani26]

60 mins - Rose and Alderweireld off, KWP and Sanchez on
75 mins - Aurier off, Trippier on

Was just going to post that I think Lamela might take Dele's place if he can get fully fit again.

Almost everyone seems to have forgotten Dele was benched for him early last season prior to his injuries.

 

[mark87]

So happy for lamela, he deserves a goal and not just for being the best player on the pitch so far today.

My niece turns to me and says,

"are they they away fans over there?"
"Yeah, they are the Newport fans"
"Oh, so they're the idiots who know nothing about football because they don't support Tottenham"
"That's absolutely correct"

Good girl...good girl.

I hope KWP comes on early on, and give Son a rest

Given that this is a replay, I'd say Poch didn't want to take any chance by having kids on the bench

 

[Mate]

Fuck it, put Gazzaniga up front and let's troll the fuck out of Newport

 

[St José Dominguez]

Llorente utterly horrendous so far. Losing possession, some poor misplaced passes and just strolling around. Hope he's not even in squad at weekend now we've got fully fit squad.

Lamela best player so far, apart from him technically being better than opposition his work rate and application has been been fantastic.

Nice game for a number of players to build up match fitness.

 

[Dougal]

Fair dos, that’s pretty good...

 

[fatpiranha]

60 mins - Rose and Alderweireld off, KWP and Sanchez on
75 mins - Aurier off, Trippier on

Poch virtually never makes subs before the 70th minute barring injury.

 

[rockyhotspur]

Lamela for me looks a much better player when he plays in the middle

 

[glacierSpurs]

Son is always making things happen. Must be so frustrating Llorente couldn't convert. Kane might have gotten a brace already.

Sissoko has been growing into the game, very decent today.

Lamela, well done. Such swagger. Hope he can grow from this game and influence on our bigger games.
