At least we won the passing etc. Not quite the same but you get my point. We weren't brutalised like most are making out.

Displayname Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 (edited) Having watched the highlights published by both Newcastle and Spurs i have to say that i changed my opinion. We deserved to win. Other than shots that were easy keeper food(even the one they scored at) they only had one decent chance, while we had several and should have had a penalty. Lots of things to improve ofcourse, but also lots to take with us going forward with being very solid at the back and efficient in attacking.

gbandit Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 It is a huge testament to the defensive coaching that we’re keeping teams out with our current back four. Tino is class, Krafth doesn’t have a lot of experience there and it’s not his natural position, he also doesn’t have much pace. Burn has the experience but it’s different being the main man in defence. Kelly and Hall are both either new or very much in development. Our defensive shape was excellent a lot of the time at the weekend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I’ve seen Burn visibly out sprint Awoniyi and Kulusevski this season. Ok these might not be quick players but Big Dan seems to have gotten faster over the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn’t create a clear cut chance all game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree with this having rewatched a couple of times, particularly the 30 mins sky highlights. If it wasn’t for Nick Pope’s shovelly Joe performance then I think we would have run out comfortable winners in the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for posting. It goes some way to explaining how we only conceded one goal, despite a makeshift back four. Joelinton's physical fitness, for a big man, is phenomenal. I can remember a couple of years ago, it emerged how hard he was working on this aspect of his game, privately as well as at the club. He was determined not to be the failure that we all that was his fate at one stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I only saw the highlights but I don't see any dominance from Spurs. I see them having a few speculative long range efforts, one of which a calamity of errors by Pope and Burn saw them get a goal. On the other hand we kept exploiting their stupid high line with very simple balls in behind. Spurs simply can't defend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 (edited) I guess for a lot of people the most memorable part of the game was the most negative part, where we made loads of mistakes and nearly fell apart. But the whole game wasn’t like that. It could’ve gone to either team really, but nobody can have complaints about us winning. We played some better stuff in spells.

It was Anderson dropping into the LWB position back in April. Joelinton is such a big player for us. For all he didn't catch the eye, there's probably a fair argument that we don't win the game without him on Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok these might not be quick players but Big Dan seems to have gotten faster over the summer. Streamlined now he's moved away from an NHS haircut. But on a serious note, I don't recall him looking particularly "slow" at any point last season until after he came back from his injury and clearly wasn't 100%, even before then it was only very early on in games where I recall him getting skinned once or twice but once he'd sussed out how much time and space he needed he was immense. Presume everyone has also had the same analysis and we've supposedly done on Tonali to unlock an extra half a yard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 While I agree we generally limited them to speculative shots from outside the area, that miss from Odobert at the back stick was criminal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloydianMag Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 MSM are amazing……when Man U, Liverpool Arsenal etc aren’t playing well yet pick up points in games ‘it’s the mark of top 4/title contenders’ When we do it it’s unsustainable, and we’ll drop off sooner or later. Bunch of tossers most sports journo’s can’t see past the cartel teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 On 02/09/2024 at 07:43, The Prophet said: From the Athletic: More worryingly, Newcastle’s passing accuracy is a lowly 74.3 per cent — the worst in the division. In the opposition half, it is just 65.6 per cent, better only than Everton’s 65.2. Against Tottenham, both figures were even lower, at 71.3 per cent and 60.8 per cent respectively. Their attempted passes total of 930 is the lowest in the Premier League this season. Same for the 691 passes they have completed. Without labouring the point it's the biggest area of improvement for me. Particularly with a few away games coming up. I wonder whether playing without Trippier and Schar has contributed towards this. We’ve been reliant on their out balls, and perhaps calming influence, to build our attacks and maintain possession for a couple of seasons. Are we still discovering, and thus far getting away with, a new system? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaj Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I don't think pace is Burn's issue, it is more his acceleration which is why he sometimes gets exposed at LB in one on one situations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our strikers probably cost more now with Solanke out for them, but would think Son is twice as much as our highest earner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Tottenham fans who work for me, there's 4 of them, plus another who works within our department for someone else. They're all moaning that injuries cost them the game, missing their fastest defender Van de Ven who Isak murdered for pace last season, and no Solanki. You should see the indignation when I point out our defence had neither our first choice centre half's. Plus no Willock and Wilson as well. I never really liked fishing, but today I'm like Robert Shaw in Jaws This lot are feckin cry babies, so bitter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
