Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

[Cavehillspur]

Ref giving them everything now

Thunder storm has knocked out my Sky...... thank god.....

 

[spurs mental]

Jacob Muprhy is one ugly looking fucker isn't he? Forehead is bigger than the rest of his head.

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.

Results come from getting the ball in the back of the net and keeping the opposition out of your own.

Playing "well" is just subjective ultimately.

 

[piedpiper]

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.

What are the good signs..... no different from any other game. We lost here previously we losing again. It's not as bad as previously but there's no consolation in a losing position.

 

[Mr Pink]

Kulu just stronger there...hows that a foul

 

[coys63]

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

It’s comical.

This

Some of the key areas we didn't deal with in the window being exposed.

Our midfield still isn't good enough.

We don't have an alternative to Udogie.

We don't have any creativity outside of Odobert.

Ange and the players need to take responsibility but so do many others.

Oo look at me I like cycling

I'll give you a likera for that!

 

[nedley]

Worrying, worrying signs.

Laugh all you like.

Absolutely predictable.

We haven't been in front today. We've shown better than the last few visits because they pantsed us both times. Forgive me for having higher standards against a team who finished below us last year and made 0 signings.

 

[Klinsmannesque]

Indeed. It's why some who were annoyed with the window felt that way. It didn't address enough of the issues IMO.

Nothing to do with the window. Its poor defensive coaching

That’s the thing for me. We’ve looked really good today, some poor defending has cost us. I don’t think its the system that’s at fault either.

 

[Flobadob]

Im not overreacting to this.

We are the finer details away from being a superb team.

we've absolutely smothered them this half and a bit more conviction we'd be out of sight.

How long has this been the problem though? There’s no knee jerk reaction to this at this point. It’s been the problem from day 1 last season, our front line is not good enough.

 

[EastUpperDK82]

Touches in opp. Box... them 14... us 47... so far...

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Defensively fragile as well

attacking too. Basically the whole team

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

He sanctioned the Werner loan, he can blame himself. Should have demanded quality wingers.

Probably wasn’t budget for it given our wage cap and need to deepen a lot of the squad.

 

[hutchiniho]

Classic - losing a game we should be winning.
We lack some serious defensive coaching. How to defend the turn over and how to defend set pieces.
A whole year without any progress in Vicario commanding the box and knowing how to cover the break away is really poor
Motivation alone from Ange is not cutting it anymore.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Its not about the good signs. Its about the bad signs that never go away.

Handy that

 

[Dakes]

All those opportunities and a Newcastle player put us on the scoresheet. No cutting edge. The system creates more than enough.
