Match Threads Newcastle vs Tottenham Hotspur - Match Thread

[wrd]

Probably as good we could have hoped for given the circumstances. Disappointed Aurier hasn't become more disciplined over the summer, superb cross however. Sissoko a bit sloppy but defensively okay. Kane needs more rest.

Looking forward to seeing Moura come on

Wouldn't surprise me if Sissoko's pass completion % is single figures.

85%

Teams challenging for the title don't drop points here.

Let's be brave.

Davies had a great season last term. 45 minutes in and he’s now a write off?

I didn’t say that he was a write off but I think he should be cover for a better LB.

 

[RamonVega'sShinners]

He hasn't given it away more than many other players. You're just in default stick the knife into the scapegoat mode. It's laughable really.

Personally I'd have Toby in and Sissoko off with Eriksen dropping deeper but the manager selects him for a reason and he's been fine playing that role. Wanna argue - go argue with Poch ffs

No I’m judging him not on today’s performance but over everything I’ve seen it f him in a spurs shirt. He simply isn’t good enough to play for us. I’m all for getting behind our players mate he isn’t up to scratch. Default stick the knife in? We are winning I’m just saying we will struggle massively if we continue to start him

 

[murichej]

We aren't on our best but that was expected. COYS bring 3 pts home.

 

[kaz Hirai]

Dembele should be fit enough to manage at least half hour so that should compose us in the second
I'm sure Poch will make that sub

St James' getting quieter every season.

Hoping it stays quiet today.

 

[BringBack_leGin]

Decent dominant performance, generally organised but Davies lax on the goal, Ritchie had too much space, Dier playing well with a good range of passing, Kane okay but not getting in dangerous positions really, Dele very encouraging, Moura positive but involved, Sissoko and Aurier (one cross aside) poor.

Wouldn't surprise me if Sissoko's pass completion % is single figures.

He started.

 

[TheChosenOne]

Shit. Wake up ffs

 

[AngryBob]

We really could do with replacing both. Maybe Dier or Toby to right back and Dembele in the middle

What you mean bring back the best defensive partnership in the league and third in world football.... hmmm

 

[ajspurs]

Really poor there.

 

[dagraham]

Still don’t understand where this idea we are better defensively without Toby has come from.

 

[only1waddle]

Sluggish across the whole park, cmon lads

 

[ikky]

Fuck me, got lucky there

 

[g_harry]

Kwp for Serge please

Its almost like he is the same Aurier as he was 6 weeks ago. Weird.

Sublime touch by Moura
