Newcastle United v TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR - Sunday 4th April 2021 KO: 14:05

[Mandy]

Apparently no Toby or Aurier in the squad again.

I guess they weren't 'ill' last time out.

They both played internationals this week so probably being rested. Aurier isn't much of an issue anyway as Tanganga has been doing well on the right. Toby might be a loss to us, but it depends on who is in his place. If we're going with a Sanchez/Rodon pairing I think we'll be ok.

Aurier is our best Right back and has been great this season barring 1-2 performances.

Well unfortunately for him his last performance against Dinamo was a disgrace. He does not deserve to wear the shirt after that. Tanganga will sweat blood for the team and that’s what we need.

You saw what happened with Woolwich yesterday when their youngsters were out and they had to rely on older, less interested players. Aurier is running down his contract and wants to leave. He shouldn’t play again unless there’s an emergency.

I like this.

 

[The Swellhead Spur]

442 diamond?

 

[NW1Spur]

Vinicius ahead of Son? Can't agree with that.

 

[sudoku]

Aurier not on the bench. Hopefully never to play for Spurs again.

 

[existenzrippchen]

Happy with the team.

Alderweireld and Aurier seem to have been iced out.

 

[Hotstepper]

That looks like a 4-4-2 diamond

 

[Stag]

Best midfield we could put out, I like it.

 

[Rocket]

It’s always interesting when you can’t work out the formation from the line up.

I seem to remember the first time we saw the Højbjerg/Tanguy/Gio midfield we’d all been calling for it failed miserably. Fingers crossed for a better showing today.

 

[zin]

not sure where aldewereild is but that back 4 makes me happy

 

[Cranston]

Looks good.

Like seeing Kane and Vinicius.

 

[halothagod]

We’ll win.

 

[VonnegutBusy]

Can't really argue with us keeping the same XI as the Villa game.

Bale, Son and Lamela as attacking options if needed.

Winks, Sissoko, Dele, Dier on the bench though

Looks like Toby and Aurier are done then.

 

[StripiestPilot]

Vinicius ahead of Son? Can't agree with that.

Son only had one day of training with the team since his injury. He’s not quite ready.

 

[Cranston]

Aurier not on the bench. Hopefully never to play for Spurs again.

I don’t get the hate for Serge.

Comfortably our best RB.

 

[TheSpurEst]

Vinicius ahead of Son? Can't agree with that.

just returning from injury - chill.

Lets not risk with him. I assume him coming on for 25 minutes and if everything is fine he is starting next one

 

[StripiestPilot]

I don’t get the hate for Serge.

Comfortably our best RB.

What does that mean though? If half his matches are 8/10 and the other half are 4/10, is he a better option than a player who always gives 6/10?

He cannot be trusted to play properly.

 

[LEGO Boy]

Same team as last time. Fair enough
