Matchday Thread: Spurs v Newcastle

[Cal]

Our defending is woeful.

Good job our ambition is to protect the loss at this point

[UlversToon]

Not a shot on goal in over 2 hours of Premier League football.

[Hjl]

Wow, Joelinton just made it past 3 people.

I mean he didn't actually achieve anything, but it looked good.

Thats repaid at least a fiver of investment.

[HowayTheLads]

f*** me Miggy. That’s really simple stuff you’re f***ing up.

[Hjl]

I dont think there is a single player in our squad that would make it into the spurs team. Or even their bench.

[HowayTheLads]

If this is still 1-0 at halftime Bruce will probably view that as his job done.

[Donkey Toon]

Was just thinking the same. We are so far behind them in terms of squad strength it is depressing.

[Cal]

They wanted Wilson as their bench striker, but we don't exactly get to see that player when he has no support at all

[Uncle Paul]

I am so embarrassed being a Toon fan watching how we play. Have some balls Bruce!

[HowayTheLads]

Just so slow and ponderous. When Miggy was on the edge of the box ready to break there was nothing. Forced to play it backwards.

[krully]

Bruce isn't fit at this level

[Cal]

I hope Hayden was pleading to be pushed forward into a midfield 3 there...

[Captain Obvious]

Embarrassing to watch this. There is no plan. Bruce has just picked 11 players and said 'go play ball, lads'

[Cal]

A shot off target

[Uncle Paul]

More like ‘ go out there lads and just keep them from scoring too many’

[Captain Obvious]

The shame was before their goal Jonjo had a chance to put Wilson in. I'd bring Fraser on but not too sure who id take off as the long ball to Joelinton is our only half chance of keeping a bit of possession in the middle third of the pitch

Fucks sake

[Speedo]

I think I’d pull Shelvey off, put on Jamal Lewis. Push Hayden into the midfield (he’s a liability at CB), Lewis at LB, Ritchie pushed forward to LW.

Darlow
Manquillo Lascelles Fernandez Lewis
Hayden Hendrick
Joelinton Almiron Ritchie
Wilson

Then at least we’ve got proper defenders and DMs who are mobile. Takes a risk and would require Manquillo and Lewis to be disciplined full backs (ie not attacking too much) but would liberate Ritchie and the front players a bit.

Shelvey is just not doing enough in the middle of the pitch.
