Newcastle United 6-1 Tottenham Hotspur (23/04/2023)


Recommended Posts

Anyone notice Richarlison refusing to warm up/come on? Most the first half he was just stood moping. Second half he was motionless for about 10-15 minutes. I’m sure they sent a coach down twice to tell him to get on and he seemed to refuse both times. 
 

Seems a complete and utter bellend. £60m well spent.

Not sure I blame him. Imagine paying that much for him to be a bench player the whole season. Spurs are phenomenally dumb :lol:


I’ll enjoy our rightful place as part of the new big 6.

 

No idea how they got invited anyways, swear they used to lurk around 11th then I was younger.

Can't a team suspend a player without pay for actually refusing to play?

Said it myself on the matchday, that Spurs were bad, but the media are definitely dressing it up as Spurs being really bad rather than give us too much credit.

 

'Woeful' 'Embarrassing' , etc. Yet, much better teams than us have played worse teams than Spurs, and only one other has been 5-0 up within 20 minutes.

 

So Spurs were bad on the day, but they were also taken apart by our intensity, our play and performance. We were just unplayable in that first 20 minutes.

 

But of course, easier for the national media to slate them than praise us too much, I guess.

They can’t  hide the truth that’s hidden in plain sight for long. We’re coming for them all. We know it, they know it! :indi:

I think it's fair to say and focus on the fact that Spurs were absolutely abysmal in the opening 20 minutes. Joelinton should never have been allowed to stroll through their defence for the first. Romero should have gotten his head on the ball before Joelinton got to it for the second. Murphy should have been closed down faster for the third. 

 

If we had dominated the game but Spurs had defended those goals and we ended up winning 3-1 I think the focus would have been more on how good we were.

I'm willing to accept that 'Spurs in disarray' is the bigger story here but if you're spending seven minutes talking about that game, I'd expect at least two references to Willock's disgusting pass.

Willock had overlapped on the outside so the defender had to try and cover both and thus ended up defending neither.
 

At the point he gets to Romero he’s in the middle of the box and I think they are terrified of giving a pen away. 
 

That said using an unfamiliar system against the team that probably the best at playing that system in the league was tactical suicide.

Surely he knew he was going to be a bench player though when he signed. He joined a team with the golden boot winner alongside the England captain.

 

His no goals in the league this season hasn't helped him

Richarlison normally looks livid but he’s actually a top lad off the pitch. Didn’t see any of the issues on the bench at the weekend so can’t really comment on that but he’s had injuries and been mismanaged by Conte all season. With the right manager, he could really work in this Spurs team as him and Kane could be lethal. Shame the rest of their team is abject

Just honestly can't get enough of this performance. The dominance, the goals, the assists, the misery of Spurs fans. Reminds me of the feeling after the 5-0 win against Man Utd in 96/97.

 

Still feel slightly cheated we didn't get a 7th though, given our traditions of handing out 7-1 thrashings to Spurs. Especially as we were 5-0 inside 21 mins. :pilko:

I’m pretty sure he joined to play with Kane, either as the main striker or one of the wide forwards. He’s way too good to be sitting on the bench while Spurs stink up the league.
