Match Newcastle Away 1.30pm Sunday Sept 1

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I don't remember the details of last season's game except the score. I just think Newcastle will be pressing us back and we need to try and catch them on the break.

The problem for me is without Solanke or Richarlison crosses are more or less a waste of time, so be as well playing narrower. So when we get a counter going we have two or three players heading goalwards.
Ange doesn’t play on the break
 
Get sick and tired of this talk of "heavy beatings" from Jeff Stelling and the like.. It goes both ways.. They've been twatted at our place a good few times in recent years. And our record for the most part up there isn't half bad the last 10 years.. But that doesn't get spoken about, because Newcastle not being on our level is expected, and business as usual.
 
They did us 5-1 whilst already relegated, our last 2 games up there have been 6-1 and 4-0 losses. In the Sir Bobby Robson period we used to get battered regularly by them.

Our best results were in the Ashley years when they were more or less a Championship side.

It’s just one of those northern hell holes we fall apart at regularly.

That said, got a feeling we might pinch a draw tomorrow

They don't "always" "just steam roller us" up there.

Robson was 99-04........ (Our record was 2W v 3L btw)

Stop with this hoodoo bullshit.

Son played CF against Everton last week right? He seems to be first choice after Solanke and Richarlison who are both injured.

I'm not saying that's where I want him to play I just think Ange sees him next in line in the CF position.

I agree he's not good at holding the ball up, and neither is he good at getting onto crosses.
He has his strengths as a forward. Excellent finisher, quick and sharp on thru balls - but as you say can’t hold up the ball and his touch is shaky under pressure. 50/50 away games are an issue, you can get away with it at home and against other weaker teams
 
Will miss the game tomorrow as, the eldest is getting married and phone will be on silent, probably a good thing.
I think if the team gets a draw then, has to be considered decent after the last two weak appearances up there.
