Newcastle Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[AB27]

This high pressing game looks like it has a lot of potential! Newcastle are looking really under the cosh for periods here. Wasn't expecting that!

I know, I know, there's 90 minutes to play, etc, but still. COYS!

We are looking good, very much liking the pressing so far, forcing them into a lot of rushed passes. Promising start

Wish Kyle would cross it first time

Not worth it with only Defoe in the middle though

 

[hodsgod]

That was close in the box

yellow for Simpson for chopping down Bale

 

[haxman]

Need to pressure Simpson now for the rest of the game. Good work by Bale.

 

[chrissivad]

nice early yellow need the ball out there alot more though

 

[$hoguN]

Well done Bale

 

[Hitch]

We're playing well. The absence of a proper centre forward is all too evident though. Would make such a difference to have someone to aim those crosses at.

 

[cwy21]

Bale's marker on a yellow...that usually means we stop giving him the ball.

 

[$hoguN]

Tiote going off

 

[Damian99]

Excellent cross ... if only we had a target man, sigh

More than anything else that has to be addressed by the end of this window, it can't possibly be left.

 

[AB27]

As predicted, Gylfi seems to have lost his free kick ability as soon as putting on a Spurs shirt.

 

[peter_the_yid]

Why are Vertonghen and VDV on the bench?!

 

[Gbspurs]

We are playing a fantastic pressing game

 

[$hoguN]

Bale's marker on a yellow...that usually means we stop giving him the ball.

Actually it normally means he tries to spend the rest of the game playing through the middle. Lets hope under AVB that is not the case

 

[Northernspurs]

Who's captain

 

[Bobby Zero]

Lot of early decisions going against us, not happy about that. We are in control though and losing Tiote is a blow for them.

 

[AB27]

Who's captain

Gallas.

 

[Hitch]

Livermore needs to be more careful. Giving away too many cheap FK's.
