Gallowgate Toon Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 The team spirit on show was great. It's really important to have that. Great performance, sometimes we're just going to have to do a defensive job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I'm obviously delighted but that's a 'papering over the cracks' result if I've ever seen it. We were excellent first half and while it was inevitable Spurs would improve in the second we did ourselves no favours with our second half tactics. We sat too deep, kicked it long and became sloppy in possession, Krul kept us in the game. Great result but nothing has changed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 ‘Townsend not all that’....then people will say Soldado is poor then Eriksen is overrated then suddenly Spurs aren't very good and Newcastle were poor second half, slowly but surely the win is tainted.

Yorkie Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 That is fairly cynical, imo. I'm well aware that we're still miles away from the finished product, and it could completely combust at home to Norwich (the two week break doesn't help), but good teams have these sorts of games every year. Grind out a tremendous result, with the help of a bit of luck and a couple of outstanding performances. I'm not sure what cracks it's papering over because, aside from the Mackem game where they simply wanted it more, we've looked a decent side for a few weeks now.

Second half was poor but you should still be able to take some positive things from an away win against Spurs after winning Chelsea 2-0. Clean sheets on both of those games is amazing and Pardew should get some praise instead of this 'papering over the cracks' s***. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen today's performance before, positive first half, lackluster second. Krul kept us in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I'm obviously delighted but that's a 'papering over the cracks' result if I've ever seen it. We were excellent first half and while it was inevitable Spurs would improve in the second we did ourselves no favours with our second half tactics. We sat too deep, kicked it long and became sloppy in possession, Krul kept us in the game. Great result but nothing has changed. Agree with the sentiment insofar as I don't think we'll get to where we want to be under the current leadership long-term, but I do think these past games since the derby defeat represent a marked improvement in appetite and commitment from the players. The quality has always been there as far as I'm concerned, and maybe the level of effort we've seen should come as standard, but I'm still happy to see us not collapsing like a pack of cards against better sides in the league, let alone having the fortitude to grind out clean sheets (with a degree of fortune/goalkeeping excellence, admittedly) and produce some problems going the other way. Don't think we can push on much further than type of performance against a 'better' side though, and today isn't the realisation of my wildest footballing dreams (not even close if I'm honest) but it does represent the absolutely apex for Ashley/Pardew.
