Tottenham Vs Newcastle: Match Thread

[THFCSPURS19]

I see SC is in meltdown mode. Some absolute shite being spouted on here. The same people who asked for time are the same people having hissy fits. How predictable.

Which tosspot put Spurs as their weekend banker eh?!



Didn't watch but by all accounts we had a right stinker second half. Think it's time for Kane to lead the line and re-jig our attacking midfield as it's patently not working with Chadli, Lamela and Eriksen.

Problem is, what's the solution?

 

[millsey]

Even more depressing is that despite me being one his biggest detractors, Tim Sherwood is being proved absolutely right...

"Top four...they're miles away..."

"They are too nice to each other..."

"They are pall much of a muchness.."

and so on.

I liked what he said when he was our manager.
He was right. He lost me when he put bentaleb and siggy in center mid together at anfield

Today's game reminded me of watching Spurs under Juande Ramos, a bunch of overpaid nobodies, prancing about the place as we get soundly beaten by a supposedly lesser side with more heart, desire and organisation. The inevitability of the result after we went behind was sickening to watch, the players seemingly having no fight or urgency to move the ball once we were behind.

"@YounsKabs4: We were not focused at the start of the 2nd half. At 1-1 we tried to push but they scored and then our confidence went down."

Could you imagine those words from Roy Keane or Patrick Vieira? Me neither. A sad indictment of the pathetic mental attitude that is pervasive at our club. Harry tried to fix it bringing in Gallas and Parker.

Lamela is out of excuses, he takes ten touches when one would do and most importantly he never seems to have a picture in his mind of what he wants to de before he receives the ball, instead he gets it, controls it, takes a few more touches and then has a think about what he wants to do before giving it away.

Eriksen was anonymous.

The less said about Dier's performance today the better.

The one thing I can't understand is we bought three players in Fazio, Stambouli and Davies, essentially for no reason as none are even close to the first team. Would we not have been better of spending that money on one of Mussachio or Schneiderlin, why do we consistently buy average players? It's just throwing money down the drain.

I am expecting a relegation battle now, the funny thing is watching Spurs for me is becoming tantamount to watching the same movie over and over on repeat....this is Juande Ramos' team all over again.

Thing is we have tried everything, changing managers and players constantly for no benefit other than steady regression.

Frankly I'm just bored of it all...no need to let these tossers ruin my weekends.

Brilliant post we waste so much money on players who do not perform it must be considered negligent... I can`t think of a single player in the last couple of seasons who has improved since coming to Spurs...

We need to buy power and pace up front and winners/leaders to change the attitude of the team..

How can you have Kabul as the leader when his own performances are so poor..

 

[only1waddle]

Fair play, I was one of them, though he has stepped his game up considerably. Would welcome him with open arms at the moment tbf. Need proper fight.

Yep, not enough character at the moment.

 

[st.king]

Pardew made a double change at half time, it had an instant impact. Poch should've done the same thing with at least 30 min to go. Ten minutes in the end is not enough for a striker when we're already desperate and playing long balls. Poor result and worrying performance.

 

[ardiles]

I'm gonna order some thai and then sob-wank myself happy again....

Hope you meant food and not a ladyboy.

 

[markiespurs]

I guess our players never thought Newcastle had it in them to come out fighting. They thought everythings over.

If this is the case, with 45 minutes left to play and only a 1 goal lead, then our players don't deserve to be called professionals.

 

[StockSpur]

We need an entire new spine.

We need new players with spines, ours have none..

 

[shelfboy68]

We supposedly did but to combine that with putting all or eggs in the unpredictable Ade/Soldado/Lamela/Chadli basket was simply asking for trouble.

There was no contingency plan, and we cocked it up good and proper.

Pochettino is struggling, but I just think this job is a lose-lose situation right now, so don't want to bag on him too much. That said I'm worried about the lack of clear emotion we are seeing from him. I hope he's not been broken already!

I want him to do well but i think the Job is too big for him.

 

[thinktank]

We lose and so many of our 'fanS' just disintegrate.

There are a lot of young (and some just plain 'full retard') fans that demand instant gratification...but to be fair, today was just too much...that loss is impossible to take.

It's proper shocking to the senses.

Said it so many times, lloris had to be made captain

I don't think its too big. Buy players who aren't wannabe pussies, get players in he wants and develop them, like he did at soton

 

[Joeyboey]

Man U spent a quarter of a billion and have a world renowned manager and they still lose to Leicester and draw with the likes of WBA.

Spending Monday guaranteed nothing.

I'm not sure that's entirely true to be honest.

Generally speaking the league table has a clear correlation to money spent. More money you spend, higher up the table you'll be come end of the season.

 

[goughie1966]

I'm ok giving time for Poch. He needs time. Mourinho would struggle with this lot. But what I can't get my head around is starting with Ade and playing 5 across the midfield against Newcastle. I wish one of the reporters would ask him that.

If you go back to the beginning of the thread the majority wanted to see Soldado or Kane start. I wanted them both to start. We could all see it. Yet he started Adebayor. I just can't get my head around that 3 hours later! Surely against Villa he will change things?

I'd drop Lamela and put Kane and Soldado up front and get at them from the start. Lose that and we have serious problems.

15th Newcastle with 31% possession at half time comes from behind to beat us at home, on the day of remembering Bill Nick -And they do it comfortably in the end with us going out in a whimper.

If this is not causing a meltdown, what will?

Time to manager is for implementing a style of play. But today's loss was nothing to do with that. Its far more deeper than that.

Maybe some jobs are just too messed up for anyone, see LVG struggling at Utd and Rodgers struggling despite coming 2nd last year.

The PL is a viper's nest when a team is struggling for form

Which is why I think the remedy to our particular problem is bringing through youngsters bursting with our DNA.

Mason, Kane, Rose...3 players who know what time it is.

Yes, we're all angry, especially considering what today was meant to be about. But people have gone waaaaaaay to far IMO. I suppose in a way it's understandable.
