Newcastle (H) 3rd April - 1630KO

[Beech]

The difference between the first and second half was Kane dropping 10 -15 yards deeper. Once he did that they couldn't pick him up and it completely changed the game. He's second only to a 100% De Bruyne for passing and creativity in the Premier League.

Nobody was close to poor today and scoring 5 goals against any side in the Premier League is always a joy. Could have been one or two more too, as Son missed a bit of a sitter.

Lloris 6

Emerson 7
Romero 9
Dier 7
Davies 7.5
Doherty 8

Hojbjerg 7
Bentancur 8

Kulusevski 7.5
Son 8
Kane 8.5

Subs:

Winks 6.5
Moura 6.5
Bergwijn 8

Every manager we come up against is doing this against us, I guess it's high risk high reward especially since we have a 2 man midfield so teams come onto us. Worked for Southampton as they hemmed us in but we've improved massively since then.

Only worked for southampton because they played two up top. We struggle against teams who do that. It’s the 2 v back 3 and they play inbetween our centre backs. I’m surprised more teams don’t do it. Villa could do it next weekend with Ings and watkins and if they do they will get some joy.

And home! Up the fucking spurs

Perfect second half performance today. Like really 10/10, I enjoyed that so much.

I remember when we were at peak Poch era and scoring first against us was just asking for punishment.

It feels like we're getting there again.

Interesting fact:

"This was the biggest Premier League win by a side that conceded the game’s opening goal since Spurs themselves defeated Manchester United 6-1 in October 2020."

 

[Paranoid Android]

Over the moon with that. Antonio is so fucking elite.

The difference Romero, Kulusevski and Bentancur have made to this team is astonishing and badly needed.

If Woolwich drop points tomorrow I really fancy us to nick that 4th spot.

Paratici has taken a lot of stick , but let’s be honest , Romero , Bentancur and Kulusveski are proper footballers!!

Agree, so is Gil (thought not right for the now). Looking like cohesion in the background again, at last.

 

[ThePreacher]

Four wins on the trot, 19-2 goal differential during that period. We feel like a real footballing side again.

Kulusevski, Bentancur, and healthy Romero have totally reinvigorated the side.

I think Conte has been the real game changer.

For the goal that Royal scored i think that he and Doherty were ahead of Son and Kane.

That should tell us all we need to know about Conteball.

Nice to send them geordies home with a well and truly slapped arse

Bergwijn is the dogs b as well! Deffo needs more minutes .. but right now him and Lucas coming on for 15-20 mins to a worn down defence is perfect

 

[Rocket]

I have to say that watching our new boys is an absolute pleasure. Romero, Bentancur and Kulusevski all seem so calm in posession. Not flustered and rarely fail to do their jobs.

Their class showed as soon as the Juve boys were subbed. The first thing that happened was an aimless punt up field by Dier which ceded posession to the human rights abusing sportswashers.

I hope Mr. Paratici can pull some more strings to acquire more class into the squad. From being one of the best performers in the team last year, Højbjerg now looks almost amateur in the midfield.

 

[ThePreacher]

Winks played well when he came on, unlucky not to score.

That was meant to be a cross field pass to Romero.......

 

[Zest]

Would have like Scarlett to have got 15-20 today, could have rested Son or Kane.

That aside, pretty near perfect.

 

[ThePreacher]

Winks MotM for me

That you Stevie Wonder?

I remember when we were at peak Poch era and scoring first against us was just asking for punishment.

Yes, there was a short period when I almost liked it when the opposition scored first, at least at home. It was like a rocket up the arse for the team.

 

[ThePreacher]

I hope Defoe can make a career for himself as a pundit (unless he decides to go in another direction of course). He's eloquent, dresses well and his analysis, while not being red hot tactics talk, definitely adds something in terms of seeing how strikers/players think

Quality analysis on the offside rule i am told...

 

[Oracle]

When they went 1-0 up their fans stormed the pitch and let off flares. Didn’t hear from them again for the rest of the match. Absolutely shite support, long drive home.
