Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

[rossdapep]

I dunno. Isn’t this the blueprint to beat us? Let us have it and catch us on the break. Until we can successfully defend counter attacks and take our chances then we’ll never be superb.

It's the blueprint to beat all high line functioning teams though.

City do it but are so efficient it hardly harms them.

We don't concede that goal if VDV is on and we've largely defended well today

When do you ever see PL teams conceding from a through ball played from the other half?

It’s comical.

 

[RuskyM]

Sort of agree - but results matter.

Looking "good" is not enough.

Results come from playing well. We win this game nine times out of ten. Yes, it’s annoying, but if we play like this most weeks we’ll win more than not.

 

[yido_number1]

We're mentally hugely fragile

Defensively fragile as well

 

[nferno]

It's not the defenders, it's how we defend. Nothing changed from last season.
We are the easiest team to attack.

And it’s not going to change. If we’re going to be inconsistent at the other end of the pitch this style of football is going to frustrate us as much as conte and mourinho’s style of football, just for different reasons.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Fucking hell, the negativity pipes down when we’re playing well and then it’s all crowing. If you don’t think we’ve shown good signs today, particularly in comparison to our last few visits here, then I don’t really know what to say.

Points don’t care about good signs.
It’s a results business game & the same deficiencies are costing us.

 

[Johnny J]

No one can ever convince me that chewing gum while playing elite football is sensible.

 

[Bump]

It's completely a mentality thing with this team. No killer instinct whatsoever.

Literally happened to Arsenal yesterday.

 

[theShiznit]

I appreciate what Romero is trying to do in waiting for space to open up.
But it's so frustrating watching him stand on the ball for what seems an eternity!

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Again Romero with no awareness.

And again subs only after their goal.

Are you actually watching the game or just making shit up as you go?

 

[Jay.]

Some of you need to get real. Same shit posted every time we lose or concede. I can guarantee you we sack Ange, and bring someone else in, it’ll be the same and the same until you show some patience.

Ange is shit mate. Deal with it

 

[KH1882]

Romero a fucking liability.

all fart and no shit with this team. pathetic.

Its true, very overrated. Would rather play Dragusin and VDV.

 

[spurs mental]

We seem to get no luck at all

You make your own luck at times. It's not unlucky to continue conceding the same sort of goal from one simple pass through our defence

 

[FrankSpencer]

We’ve got a lot to learn as a team.
We are a little too naive.
And we still have a soft underbelly.

We’ve been saying this for 30+ years!

 

[King of the Lane]

Im sick to death of this over the top high line. We are so easy to counter its unreal. The blueprint to beat us is to sit back, absorb pressure and then counter us and score. We can never seem to take our chances either so constantly throw games away.

 

[Col_M]

Some of you need to get real. Same shit posted every time we lose or concede. I can guarantee you we sack Ange, and bring someone else in, it’ll be the same and the same until you show some patience.

it’s tedious isn’t it. I often think we need to match threads.

 

[Mattspurs1982]

Awful stuff.

Just hugely naive game after game after game

i can’t see it improving, that’s the worrying thing. Ange won’t change his style and teams will continue to slice through us week after week

 

[TheAmerican]

Gordon winning all the calls….

 

[JSpurs1]

Putting La Vuelta on after this. They're about to hit a monster 19km climb at 7.4%.

Or, about the same hill as we have to climb to achieve anything this season.

Oo look at me I like cycling
