How is that even possible?
I'm guessing they mean successful tackles.How is that even possible?
Why would he be any worse than Lewis? I think Ashley actually even invested his own money to inject liquidity into Newcastle early on before he gave up on the club. Unlike Lewis, at least Ashley would attend our games.But this is Spurs.... so you know if they did sell Mike fucking Ashley would buy us
(I know he cant, but still)
Other teams, such as Man City, are way ahead both in quality and squad depth compared to us. It suits them more to look for more goals when they are up, because their entire team is good on the ball and can recycle it until they see an opportunity. The same cannot be said of our team. Who in this squad would you trust with the ball when a press comes along? For me it's only Kane.
Therefore until there is material improvement to the quality of our players, there's no point even trying to playing in another way. Sometimes your best hand isn't good enough and that's the case agasint Chelsea.
Not saying we will score 10 goals but you can visibly see a shift in the teams mentality when they go a goal up. They stop pushing as hard and seem to coast. Other teams may be better but you act like the position you want to be not the position you are. If we keep acting like a mid table club it will not matter who we buy. How many managers have talked about how the teams mentality has to change? Pretty much every one of them since Harry. Regardless of who we play we should go on the field with the attitude that we want to destroy them, not just win or steal a point. When we score a goal we should be looking for another one. Even if we don't score it, we should be trying to.
Just my opinion but we really need to change our mindset if we want to be challenging for trophies and 1st place on a regular basis.
Sorry DanielWe need a <yawn> emoticon.
You’re obviously on the wind up with that comment. If you can’t see the difference between our ownership and Ashley’s reign at Newcastle then you’re truly blinkered.Why would he be any worse than Lewis? I think Ashley actually even invested his own money to inject liquidity into Newcastle early on before he gave up on the club. Unlike Lewis, at least Ashley would attend our games.
Sometimes it may not be about spending. We may have the money to satisfy everyone but our stock is not as high as it is in the game. Whilst our offer may keep one player interested one of the big guns coming in with a similar offer will no doubt be more interesting than ours. We would have to pay significantly more in wages to turn their heads and even then a players heart is still set on the bigger club.If you believe the Summer is going to be any different then you are in for a surprise.
It doesn’t matter who’s in charge for us, our spending policy remains the same.
I don't think that he was attending Newcastle games for a while before the end was he? In fairness it's academic anyway as he wouldn't have nearly enough money to buy the club anyway.Why would he be any worse than Lewis? I think Ashley actually even invested his own money to inject liquidity into Newcastle early on before he gave up on the club. Unlike Lewis, at least Ashley would attend our games.
That's about the gist of it. We all can see something we don't particularly like on the pitch, it's just we all have differing opinions as to what some of the causes are. Ultimately any anger I get when I read a lot of comments is not about the comments, or the poster themselves, more that it's reminding me about other aspects of the club that is frustrating me. How odd that we've managed to have an actual discussion on an online forumI think thats the key. I'm all in for this but I don't think it's realistic to expect or demand it. As you say managers talk about it but can't implement it.
I dont really buy the 'mind above body' argument. It seems like a fairytale. It's like asking an inferior player to believe they can win when a better one is pressing. It doesn't make sense to believe it.
But I think we have the same conclusion. I dont think we will be challenging for trophies or 1st place anytime soon.
interesting tidbit of info from a Sky Sports interview with Antonio last week via a mate who was there -- Antonio spent much of the interview complaining about not having any signings yet and not having any money to spend. THFC then saw the cut of the interview and demanded Sky edit all that stuff out of the broadcast version.
Well thats just fucking fantastic.If that was the one with Vicky Gomersill then there’s something in that. She mentioned similar, but I’m not so many words, on Sunday morning on SSN and then went on to say she didn’t think sky would show the whole interview.
I thought it a weird comment at the time so went looking on the Sky Sports website and none of the interview was on there. Not even the 2 minutes but they did actually show that morning on SSN.

We need to be proactive now ready for the summer. Who remembers when Liverpool signed Salah for £35m in 2017 and then Neymar went for a ridiculous amount and the values went sky high. That was all about being proactive and the reason why Liverpool have succeeded in the transfer market compared to other teams around them.Sometimes it may not be about spending. We may have the money to satisfy everyone but our stock is not as high as it is in the game. Whilst our offer may keep one player interested one of the big guns coming in with a similar offer will no doubt be more interesting than ours.

Sounds like that's it
