Match Threads Newcastle Vs Spurs

[EQP]

PEH and Skipp have zero creativity?

B2B is Box-to-Box - so aiding in both defensive and attacking phases of play. I'm not sure where I referenced creativity or really what you're post is asking or stating.

Back 4

Be just our luck we change to a back 4 then we get hammered by Newcastle and won't see the back 4 again this season

I’m looking forward to potentially seeing us with an extra man in the middle! We’ve been crying out for more control / support for our 2 cm’s all season. May just mitigate having a back 4 (WB’s playing as FB’s) if we’re able to control the game a bit better

Nobody expects anything, so it should be no surprise when we get nothing....

Yet guarantee people lose their shit anyway lol

Yup, because a little part of me will think, we ‘could’ win, then I’ll watch it and get the hump when yet again it’s a shit show / limp performance and we concede stupid goals

we lose this all day long though

Same here mate.

There's always hope when you have Kane in your side.

I actually think a draw might be on, if Lloris and defense have one of their good days lol

 

[chas vs dave]

Apparently Ben Davies may be back for Sunday. That will be a bonus.

I swear loris must have a ‘I start if I’m fit’ clause on his contract, as the whole defence looked way more steadier with Forster in the sticks!

If we're switching to a back 4 I'd bring Sarr and play with a midfield 3. Not as "fun" and gung-ho as playing a 4-2-3-1 with 4 attackers, but given we've got a questionable back 4 with 2 uber-attacking fullbacks I think that we'll end up getting murdered in the next 3 games if we go from one extreme to the other and completely open up.

Bringing Sarr strikes me as as good compromise between attack and defence and means we might have a semblance of control in the middle for the first time in forever.

If we get hammered sunday the season will be done anyway.

Hes not gods gift but Southampton and Leicester both happened under Forster. Can't be arsed to look up the other results but our defence is shit it doesn't matter who's in goal at the moment.

 

[Timberwolf]

I had a feeling we might nick a lucky result against Brighton.

Don't have that feeling at all about Newcastle. Think they're gonna do us in.

Didn’t we concede 4 against Leicester and 3 against Southampton with forster in goal?

We're gong to absolutely crumble under the weight of a raucous home crowd.

 

[Timberwolf]

Didn’t we concede 4 against Leicester and 3 against Southampton with forster in goal?

He was shite against Leicester, but don't think he was to blame for the Saints goals (2 close-range shots and a pen). Overall we felt a lot more solid defensively over the period when he was in goal as he's actually alright with his feet so the defenders are comfortable passing to him.

Credit to him, Lloris has made a few outstanding saves the past few games, but his all-round play causes us so many problems that I'd lean towards playing Forster atm.

 

[Mattspurs1982]

If Davies is back in time for the game, I feel much more comfortable with a back 4! It will be like Mourinho’s days when Aurier used to bomb forward in a lopsided way

Think it was done a few weeks ago unofficially, can't see us getting msny more points eith these players snd management unfortunately.

Problem is, if Davies is back we'll probably stick with the back 3 and play him LCB.
