Newcastle (A) 15Jul - 6pm KO.

[Harrykane9]

Didnt get to watch tonight. Was it 4-4-2 again?

 

[Dr Rocktopus]

Missed this game completely due to other engagements. Did we play well?

 

[1966]

I fucking love these things for some reason.

Apparently a lot of people feel the same. All of which makes me think that even comedians aren't safe from robot unemployment.

 

[1966]

Can we get a bit of love for Bergwin's cross few more of them and Harry will start exerting pressure on him to start. I also had a bit of a fancy that we could drop Aurier and play Bergwin, he is robust tracks back as well as Serge but has way better delivery if Sissoko is doing the same defensive sitting job for him I think we would be better. Anyone elsethink he could play wing back?

I made the argument recently that the lack of quality crossing was making Kane and Son more reluctant to waste the energy and take the injury risk going full hog to get on the end of them. I hope to see a lot more goals like the one today because this squad definitely has players capable of scoring from crosses/headers. (I'd say "especially Kane" but what's the point? What isn't he great at scoring? Direct FKs basically.)

I honestly wouldn't mind sissoko at rb and Bergwine at RM. It just seems such an obvious thing to do...

 

[greenmanRD]

A shocker?

The ball clearly hits the guys arm.

While true, it does seem very harsh considering there’s a striker attempting a bicycle kick as well near his head. I also suspect that if it wasn’t called a pen on the pitch, VAR doesn’t overturn it.

 

[sammyspurs]

Eh? I actually said I don't rate Sessegnon as a left back. You literally make shit up as you go along.

Ahhh yeah he’s just a marauding winger like Bale for you then

 

[Dr Rocktopus]

It's one thing to be folicly challenged, quite another to look like you were inexpertly crafted by Satan himself from the fetid mud of the River Styx

Doesn’t he suffer from alopecia?

 

[This Fish]

Doesn’t he suffer from alopecia?

Aye he does, and is really touchy about it apparently.

fwiw I thought you weren't very good yesterday and getting shot of Mourinho surely must be a priority. The fluent high intensity game that was enjoyable to watch has gone and the new style isn't getting the best out of anyone in a Spurs shirt.

You deserved the win chiefly because we were terrible in defence and profligate up front. Our tactic appears to be a deep passive defensive block, then get it to Saint Maximin and pray he can do something to get past 3-4 players.

You looking forward to seeing the back of Steve Bruce?

 

[RESPECT THE COCK]

We're not there yet. If the takeover doesn't happen, he'll be manager next season at least and I genuinely fear that we'll be in danger of relegation with this cabbage in charge.

I want shot because he's out of his depth and he's not the victim he's painted by his mates in the media. When we went on a little run, all we heard is how much better he was doing than Benitez, when he really wasn't.

Pundits consistently contradicting themselves to show support for their mate. These are genuine quotes from the same pundit for the Man City game (where we were humped 5-0)
"Look at the goals they've scored!" "They don't look like scoring"
"See how he's sorted their defence!" "This could be a cricket score",
"If they're taken over he should get money to spend!" " Joelinton does not look a £40m player"

The football has been shite, the injuries are stacking up and the excuses are flowing.

How do you rate Saint-Maximin?

 

[Paul Gascoigne]

Can't agree with that, I think Erik would have been an absolute star if it hadn't been for his injuries.
Sorry to disagree but doesn't that prove my point ?
He would be better in Italian or German football which is less demanding than our more physical game ? He has never shirked a challenge but his body has let him down.
My point is, if we can still get some reasonable money for him, should we move on and buy a Hojberg ?

No more all over the show but defence was better
