We'd arguably had the better of it, imo. Atsu had been in behind them a couple of times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Apparently these were quotes from the Sky commentary? nee way "Newcastle fans booing Sissoko for being a deserter despite saving them from relegation the year prior" "A no nonsense challenge that's infuriated the locals" (on Harry Kane's scissors tackle from behind sends Lejuene off injured) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Aye that's the reason Sissoko was booed, I really wish these morons would actually do their jobs for once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Harry Kane was rightfully furious that a vile French cunt had potentially stolen the job of Jack 'Geordie hero' Colback and was redressing then balance. It was gorgeous to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Regarding Sissoko the "one greedy b******" chant was a weird one. Yeah that threw me off. Just seems the stock chant for players we don't like (Hamann, Distin, Owen...). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Second half really liked Merino again. Creating angles, always wanting the ball, vocal, can tackle. Atsu, Clark, Manquillo, Lascelles, Mbemba all had a good second half, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 The commentator was a right sarcy cunt, like. That comment about Sissoko was baffling - I thought everyone agreed that he's a fucking dick? Weird, weird stick to beat Newcastle fans with, that one. Then some comment about the singing section; "heh, guess they must've lost their voice." Eh? Off you fuck you utter melt.

Guest neesy111 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 The 3 players that impressed me the most were 3 of our summer signings. Atsu, Manquillo and Merino so that's a good sign. Lejeune was also having a good game before being savaged by Kane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were back in the PL against some PL southern favourites - it was important for Sky to immediately remind us about how entitled we all are. Those bloody Newcastle fans whinging again, why can't they just be satisfied with being cannon fodder? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I think Merino touched the ball more in his cameo than Hayden & Shelvey put together. He looks like he's going to be very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Manquillo looked useful in the final third and was clearly frustrated about a couple of balls that didn't reach him, but he had a mare for the second goal.

While that's true I don't want to criticise too much, it's extremely hard for anyone to stay in position when you are down to 10 men. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bordertoon Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Given that Gayle was never likely to be fit enough to complete the full 90 minutes, if the first half injuries and (especially) Shelvey's lunacy hadn't derailed the game plan, it would've been interesting to see how Rafa would have approached the final third (or quarter) of the match. For instance, would he have used Mitro up front as a direct replacement for Gayle, while introducing Merino for Hayden? Or might he have brought on Murphy, while shifting Richie in to the number 10 role, and pushing Ayoze up top? Or would he have opted for another set of subs to the two I've suggested? Whichever way Rafa went, given Spurs presumed title aspirations, had the score been level and it was still 11 vs 11, then I think Spurs would have tried to force the match and that would have given us far more and far better opportunities to get something on the counter. Basically then, I think we would have been in with a real shot at a earning a valuable point, and a decent shot at earning an invaluable 3 points. We'll never know, of course, but I'm definitely choosing to stick with a glass half full interpretation of today's match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Absolutely seething. Difficult to interpret what he's more pissed off about; Ashley, or the fact we lost/the way we lost. Trying to step away from all the transfer bollocks for a moment... you can really tell that Shelvey has gone and done something that Rafa has insisted they do not do. Like he says there, they were talking about having to keep their focus for 90 minutes if we're gonna have a chance of staying up. Barely half way into the season and that's happened. Shelvey is such an idiot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubbs Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 That's the most pissed off Ive ever seen him since he's been with us. Difficult to know whether all of it is Shelvey or the broader transfer situation too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
