Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

[FinnYid]

Bissouma is obvious one, but Maddison is really tripe at the moment too

 

[offside_ruel_fox]

Out and not watching the game. What does Ange do at halftime to try and salvage something?

 

[keithtighe93]

Bissouma is losing every single ball that comes near him. It’s beyond mad Ange can’t see it. What’s that about?

 

[snakehipsspurs]

Keeps playing him though.

He showed us early season what he can do, have no idea why he's gone completely off the boil since the suspensions. It's so frustrating

 

[Kingellesar]

I don’t understand how Bissouma keeps getting picked.

1/10 for every player on that pitch so far and Ange, why does he keep selecting Bissouma when its clear he isn’t performing.

 

[daniel chagas]

This persistance of starting Bissouma are a costly stubborness. Awful decision, awful player.

 

[thecook]

Being press resitant like Bissouma apparently is means shit if he does nothing withthe ball

 

[Bobbins]

I look forward to the usual "Ange needs his own players" discussion after the game and in the summer.

Every time it's always the same excuses.

 

[walton]

Biss and Son need hauling off. Both with the control of Lukaku out there today.

 

[midoshairband]

must be very little going on in training.

 

[Yiddo100]

Well the bell hasn’t rung just yet and we’re still slightly in it.
about the main positive from that half

 

[Mr Pink]

He needs to bring on PEH for Biss and Lo Celso for Maddison.

 

[idontgetit]

Son is fucking hopeless as a number 9

That's a little bit silly. He's brilliant but having a bad game today, while being served up absolute dross.

 

[haxman]

Pathetic. Once again we need a rocket from Ange at half time to get the thing going. He's at fault here too tbf

*insert the David Brent Go get Hojbjerg meme

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

I love Ange but his tactics are so naive.

I suppose they’ve never been tried at such a high level.

I still think we lack quality in some areas which stops the system from working as effectively as it should do but as big a fan of Ange as I am I do agree that at times the tactics do come across as a tad naive but as I said I minute ago the idea is similar to guadiola where you’re supposed to utterly dominate possession and keep the opponents down the other end and limit them to just the occasional counter attack which you shut out but lately we aren’t creating good chances when we attack, we aren’t keeping the ball well enough and we are giving away far far too many chances on transitions.

For me it can work, we saw that in the opening 11 matches of the season but something isn’t quite right currently.

I think this game is over now but the issue is if we keep playing like this we will certainly lose to Arsenal, Liverpool and City and will slip to 5th.

 

[Kirito]

Hojbjerg would never hear the end of it if he made these errors.

And when he comes on, he’ll play much better, make one mistake and get pelters for it. Match day threads never change

 

[Spursberg]

Again Bissouma looking so crap. Walking 10 meters with the ball instead of passing fast to Werner. Postecoglu open your fucking eyes!!

 

[Wizzy77]

Speechless.

Cant decide our play or our kit is worse

Doesn’t look like he can be bothered. Really frustrating.
