Yes we won but for 3/4's of the match we were awful and all over the place at the back.
A very lucky but welcome 3 points
Sounds just like Man United last night

New season, new pre-match rituals, possibly. About 20 minutes before kick off I was sat there in front of the telly with my one year old who promptly threw up on me, forcing me to change Spurs tops. She’s ill at the moment but she should be better by the next game. So do I wear the old Spurs top for the rest of the season or get her to throw up on me pre-match for the next 37 games? Or both?
I'll take the 3 points and run. Huge win after a negative week. Weird game due to the lack of fitness and sharpness.
Special mention to Dele for coming back so fit after holiday. Hugo was great too.
Hopefully a weeks training and this game will help others catch up ahead of Fulham.
Sissoko and Aurier worry me greatly though. Hope we don't have to use that combo too often through the season.
Hopefully nothing to give her a serious eating disorder for the rest of her life.I'm more curious to know what measures you will take to get her to throw up 37 more times this season.
Think he tried to stage a a mutiny...

I agree - Aurier at one point was in the final third and was nowhere. Sissoko was tracking back and covering him, which was giving me nightmares. Seriously I just don't get what Aurier's problem is - At PSG he looked like a good option to replace Walker, so far he has proven to be a bit of a donkey. Davies had an unusually bad game for him, but comfort in the knowledge that he can play a whole lot better!The fullbacks contributed massively to our defensive troubles. Half the time when Newcastle won the ball and were on the attack Davies or Aurier weren't even in the picture. Actually think we should have changed to 3 at the back, as we were't doing anything at the other end anyway.
3/4? That's ridiculous. Dominated the first half and in a second half on the back foot we still only conceded two meaningful chances, while Dele and Sissoko also both had great opportunities to put it beyond doubt. It wasn't our best but it certainly wasn't awful, albeit there were a couple of poor performances in there. We still had 60% possession, a couple of hundred more passes and equal shots (with 3 more on target), so to say we were awful for 3/4 of the back is nothing short of mental.
Both. Definitely both.
Just show her this or any other match day thread.

Yes he started left side cm with Sissoko right of Dier but had some flexibility with Eriksen dropping in. Until Moura went off for Dembele, then Alli moved higher up on the left.I haven’t seen the match yet. Was Alli playing in the midfield 3 in a 4-3-3?
It's all relative. Someone quite correctly pointed out he would have been in that Newcastle team today and they will almost certainly be top 10 this season. So as an option while we wait for Winks, Dembélé and Wanyama to get back up to speed, I don't think he's all that bad.Very glad for 3 points.
Not a great team performance.
Sissoko is NOT good enough.
Aurier, mixed bag. Great cross, but goes missing and at times some dodgy defensive work.
Sanchez. mixed bag aswell. Cost us a goal.
A natural reaction to how the transfer window panned out but seriously hope your daughter is ok.New season, new pre-match rituals, possibly.

Yeah it was a real worry, not to mention when their Chelsea loanee (forgot his name) was free on the left and Aurier was in the middle of the pitch. To me Aurier is just a mistake waiting to happen. I'm fine with him filling in when needed I guess but I just don't trust the guy.
I like Davies but I'm not gonna lie, I still much prefer Rose. I just find Davies a little tame.
Dier...liability
I have to pick up the Dier commentary in CM now that BC is no longer with us
She did start to feel ill on Thursday...A natural reaction to how the transfer window panned out but seriously hope your daughter is ok.
