Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs - Match Thread

[ajspurs]

We are still incredibly frustrating when in possession of the ball.

 

[0-Tibsy-0]

This is bloody awful viewing.

 

[chrissivad]

Good to see the defence shouting at others not picking up the runners

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

We have the knack of allowing shit teams look half decent.

 

[Nick-TopSpursMan]

Once again such a slow tempo. So passive off the ball and no urgency or desire to win the ball back.

When we have it, we move it like snails, barely any movement or desire to play quickly.

The scum game is exception basically.

 

[yankspurs]

We look a bit crap so far. Making a bad team look half decent.

That's been our specialty for 2 years.

 

[Wsussexspur]

As per usual Winks and Sissoko anonymous in our central midfield. So easy for Newcastle to attack straight down the middle. Neither are providing any kind of cover for the defence

 

[JME-9]

This is an awful performance ! We make every team look like prime Barcelona

 

[RikkiRocket]

If Shelvey had chalked his head ......

 

[AberdeenYid]

Please enlighten me and explain what Winks brings to the party

Does a lovely kick off.

 

[ClintEastwould]

Can we have the ball please?

That’s not our M.O anymore

 

[wirE]

COYS

 

[JayB]

How is it that we never get any fucking pressure on the ball? Does Jose honestly want them to sit off and allow Newcastle to pick passes and crosses completely undisturbed?

 

[Cochise]

Defensively in disarray. Son moaning at Sissoko for not following his press, then Davies moaning at one of our centre midfielders for not tracking Shelvey into the box.

 

[richard_gleeson]

So easy to play through our midfield

 

[razzmaster]

Why didn't Jose stick with 442?

 

[Escher]

The boys look nervous.

Not surprising really, knowing we need a win to consolidate 8th place

 

[WiganSpur]

This CM2 wouldn’t get a Championship team promoted

 

[Phomesy]

Newcastle have a good array of passers in their side. Ritchie; Bentaleb and Shelvey

 

[Montalbano]

Switch back to the 442
