Mole_Toonfan Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Wonder what seven or so teams have improved massively which will mean they have jumped us in the table from last year. I understand the negativity due to the off the field stuff but we'll be closer to 10th than we will to relegation. I'm not happy about this BTW, just saying that it's not really going to be how some think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I thought we did OK - could and probably should have made it 2 - 2 at a minimum. It's weird, there was moments, mainly in first half where Spurs really made us look a bit silly at the back. As the game went on it got more event but there was a solid 20 min spell second half where Diame and Shelvey were totally bossing it. Was a joy to watch. Kenedy looking dangerous again, let us down with that touch when he was in loads of time and space to score. Positives: I think we definitely have more about us than last season. I love the idea we have combinations some interesting attacking combinations to discover. Diame and Shelvey look like they can cause any team problems when they turn it on. Negatives: We are desperately exposed in some positions with lack of depth, if Yedlin's fucked that's one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Deserved a point. Letting them in so many times via set pieces and crosses in the first half was well shite though. Ritchie for Atsu was a poor sub. Muto and Rondon both look like handfuls for defenders in their own way. Hopefully Yedlin's injury is not anything serious but I doubt it knowing our luck. All that full back cover. Cheers Mike, Lee and Justin. At least we have profit. Vile cunts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakka Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Atsu was absolutely shocking. Might as well went with Murphy Ritchie was having a decent game as well so it was an odd sub. Probably wanted pace to hit them faster, but he was totally off the boil. That moment where he could have sent Rondon through but passed the opposite way he was running. Man so infuriating.

Infinitely Content Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Wonder what seven or so teams have improved massively which will mean they have jumped us in the table from last year. I understand the negativity due to the off the field stuff but we'll be closer to 10th than we will to relegation. I'm not happy about this BTW, just saying that it's not really going to be how some think. The transfer window frenzy always yields very unwarranted and inaccurate statements. If football was as simple as team A spent X therefore are better than team B who spent Y, it would be a pointless game. We'll be absolutely fine, I'd take our team over a good 5/6 sides in the league, perhaps more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Spurs didn't get out of 2nd gear really So negative. It was hardly a game they won at a canter. Easily could have lost it second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I was very impressed with Muto, looked very sharp and has real pace and stronger than he looks. Going on what I’ve seen today. Take Joselu and Perez out for Rondon/Muto and we'll be a different prospect. Diame grew into it in second half but he was well off the pace in the first. Hopefully he just takes a while to get going.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 We played well and deserved more out of it, we didn't take the good chances we had in the second half, but a lot of encouraging stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs couldn't get out of second, or whatever gear they were in. We were a threat throughout and they knew it. If they had moved up a gear it would have been because we were no competition.

Guest dabe Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 We had plenty of great chances; post, bar, Lloris save low to Perez and the miscontrol from Kenedy. These could've been goals on a different day. Outside of Atsu, Dummett and Yedlin, our team played well, think at home we can at least compete with any team.

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 On another day we get a point, but that's the realm we're operating in. As an aside, I just want to publicly thank Atsu for making my un-acted upon chances in life not seem all that bad. I can't remember the last time a substitute was that far below the quality of the player he was replacing. I don't even dislike him or anything, but that was a really bad performance.

Yorkie Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I know it's early days but I find it difficult not to be totally deflated after that tbh: we lost at home, all the same weaknesses from last season are there in plain sight, and we suffered a significant injury to someone who played rubbish anyway.

Early days, and an expected defeat, still ruined my weekend though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
