Tottenham Vs Newcastle: Match Thread

[glacierSpurs]

I'm not saying this should happen (nor do I think it will) but if AVB was to go who realistically is there to replace him and play the Spurs way? Laudrup?

please, but don't get that started?

 

[tomo]

I don't want gobshite Redknapp back either.

I don't want AVB to go yet but he has to find a settled team and deal with the problem that is a lack of service to Soldado - its staring him right in the face and he's paid to deal with it. Definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Look I 100% believe AVB is the man to take us forward but we cannot keep pretending he is not at fault. Firstly Dembele and paulinho cannot play together no defensive cover, i understand that sandro wasn't a 100% fit and capoue has just come back from injury but ONE OF THEM NEEDS TO PLAY. Secondly we all know we have a problem with tempo even the fucking pundits know our tempo is a problem so why for the love of god have we not solved we are eleven games in there can be no excuse of early season syndrome or whatever the fuck. Thirdly this whole messing with the team every fucking game is really frustrating, don't get me wrong i believe earning a place based on performances is right but Eriksen has done fuck all to justify a place over Holtby, he was poor against sheriff home and away and didnt impress against hull(cup game), to add to that townsend has'nt done anything in our last three games to justify retaining a place, he doesn't play for the team, shoots from ridiculous distances when there are better passes on, holds the ball for too long and seems to believe he's Bale MK2. Then you've got a man who has just played his best game for us, impressed everyone and must be brimming with confidence so why do we not play him. Absolutely Ridiculous decision not to play lamela and him not starting would not have done any good for his confidence. I actually felt Soldado had a good game today got more touches of the ball, linked up play well but yet again we are not giving him any service. Today also showed us how much we rely on Lloris, probably would have prevented the first goal, I'm not sure if we bowed to media pressure with that one there. Anyway for me Holtby, Lamela and Sandro/Capoue should of started today. Every team has issues but our problem is that we are not solving are issues and in fact what pisses me off the most is that avb as of now hasn't admitted we have issues but seems to give excuses. I think that we will improve hopefully this is a wake up call for Andre but if is'nt then you have to ask the question how many wake up calls do we need. Positive side- Rose capoue to come back, Soldado more involved today, AVB will work on this now(i think) P.S- That dummy by soldado to eriksen was scrumptious

 

[jimmyh]

Why do we not try something drastic and way out there and play left footed players on the left side and right footed players on the right side then instead of checking back or cutting inside which is not working, then we could take people on go passed them and get crosses in.

How radical would that be it could even change football as we know it.

Loyalty, patience

I don't think anyone's loyalty is in doubt. Patience is one thing, witnessing diabolical decision making time and again is another.

 

[felmani26]

Nope, it was never as dire to watch as this under Harry. What is it, 9 goals in 11 games? Doubt you'll find a stat like that when Harry was in charge. Not to mention the two top 4 finishes.

Ok, you tell yourself that.

In any case, he's not coming back so it's futile to say he'll do any better than we are currently doing which 3 points off second place.

 

[idontgetit]

Did Sandro and Lamela have knocks coming in to the game which would explain them not starting? Did Chiriches get injured? Was watching on a crappy stream and didnt have much background to anything

 

[mario antoniou]

Yeah and that's why it gets more annoying the longer you support them. Even with the tools at our disposal we still manage to fuck it up - its genuinely depressing. Fuckers have got me though so I will always come back for more.

To see the scum progressing again makes it even worse.

Took webber 8 years to spend 40 mil took avb 2 min to spend 86 mil & still counting said s it all

 

[ardiles]

Although I'll still back AVB after this, I think he has to take the majority of the blame for the loss.

The Premiership should take priority over any other tournament (unless we are in the CL).
We should have started our strongest available first eleven.

If Kaboul and Sandro were good enough to be on the bench, then they should have been
good enough to start.

 

[GutBucket]

Looking at Roma, lots of new players that need to gel, new coach and they are destroying Seria A. 26 goals scored and 2 conceded. No doubt our players have to gel, but there should be big progress in that by now and isn't a good excuse anymore. I am not saying "AVB out" yet, but if he doesn't change something soon I will.

 

[mario antoniou]

Ment to say winger

 

[DiamondLites]

I think the way Bale did him dirty, AVB is scared to love again. He is going for the fugly tryers, the dependable 5/10ers when he has the voluptuous Latina slut with the cracking rack eye-fucking the shit out of him across the room. Take the plunge Andre!! Live again!!

 

[LSUY]

yeah, Lord knows the one thing we're missing is hopeful shots on goal from outside the box...

Sig's had 18 shots, 9 on target. Paulinho 31 shots, 9 on target. Soldado 21 shots, 9 on target. Townsend 40 shots, 13 on target. And he's scored more than the three of them in open play combined in less league appearances. So, yeah, Lord knows the one thing we don't want is Sig shooting at goal.

 

[ardiles&villa]

Does anyone know what avb said in the press conference afterwards?

For what I can remember we lost at home again nothing scrumptious there is it.

 

[km1stry]

AVB picked the wrong team today. Arrogant man. How can u leave out Lamela after he played so well midweek. Sigurdsson is so poor, its unbelievable how he starts in the first 11 week in week out. 3 man midfield of Sando/Capoue, Paulinho and Dembele/Holtby, LW Townsend or Eriksen and RW Lamela or Lennon. Simple. One word.... PATHETIC!

 

[Jenko]

does no-one else remember last season??? it was always going to be a huge transition after selling Bale. He was the life blood of this club last season. Buying 7 young players new to the prem was only going to contribute to that transition.....

....and now some want AVB sacked? that's just too stupid to be farcical.

Bring back Harry?

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

And you conveniently forget some of the dross Harry served up as well!

Yer who'd want two top four finishes and a CL quarter final place. Though Harry is long gone those memories ain't. I'd take that dross all over again. Honest.

Do you seriously see AVB delivering that?
