No issue with Anderson starting as well, I think he's 100% proving himself and the more minutes are showing he's got a bright future at PL level.

Fucking howling at this.

I'd start Sandro, Bruno and Longstaff tomorrow.

Why does Craig Hope automatically deem Joelinton in that even though Howe literally says he'll make a late check.

Maybe the locals can stop reporting on who was and wasnt at training before this match...and maybe just wait until they get to ask Howe?

I honestly would place him in our all time top 10. He’s easily the best player to ever play in our back 4.

I’m staying there the weekend of the Palace match.

Tonali has def played before without training. Maybe he’s in the gym, or even doing recovery work.

Front 3 of Kolo Muani/Ramos, Mbappe and Dembele is absolutely absurd

He was incredible on Saturday, looked back to his quietly confident best.

For me its you gotta sign a Jean-Clair Todibo type player > absolute unit, with pace, good in air, and good on the ball. Think he's very good ball carrier too. Then it's the marquee right sided forward/winger. We do need a backup striker to Isak and Wilson too.

Just imagine if it ends up another famous night for us at St James’ Park man.

Most importantly, ye cawk

Spurs may not be sustainable but credit to their heart and fight.

Evens out the luck they had versus us.

We didn’t turn down Maddison really, did we?

This version of Lascelles is incredible. He’s strong, fast, good in air and now playing class progressive balls up the pitch.

Pretty amazing that we had a Dummett, Miley, Hall and Murphy starting as locals/boyhood toon fans and then Anderson was able to get on the pitch too. 5 of them.

Pope Liv Schar Botman Burn Longie Tonali Anderson Murphy Isak Gordon ^ my hope

Just remember that the brilliant and downt-to-earth bloke that he is, never kicks up a fuss, never complains. When asked who the best player at the club is he says Bruno and his reason is "because he makes me look better" or something like that. The guy deserves far more credit than he gets.

Schar is our best ball playing CB we've ever had and I would counter argue that his long and short passing ability + his shooting/penalties add to that. Colo was a fantastic dribbler but don't recall him creating anything from his passing or carrying, there wasn't reverse passes like Botman or Schar, there wasn't aggressive diagonals etc. Colo the footballer, reader of game, etc clearly more easy on the eye but I don't really think he'd be able to handle some of today's footballers. JUST my opinion.

Wish Holt would give some love to Amanda, Mehrdad and Jamie too. Seems far too convenient to just say Saudi when those 3 drove those key decisions early on.

Fab Schar is the best ball playing CB we've ever had. To think Lejeune was supposed to be THE ball playing CB and then Schar came in and said hold my beer.

I absolutely love this mad bloke. He rinsed them to pieces yesterday, gets his goal, does a classic # of different celebrations post goal then yells to away fans "IM FUCKING STAYING"

But our 2 CB's destroy both Spurs CB's with the ball by a far far far margin.
