Tottenham Hotspur vs. Newcastle United: 04/01/25 @ 12:30 (TNT Sports)


Recommended Posts

Best form of defence is attack really. They are leaky at the back and they will play attacking themselves. Just control the midfield like tonight and protect Kelly if he's the one at CB. 

 

That Schar yellow was so soft though. Didn't think it was a yellow at all but also silly from Schar getting involved on the halfway line at 2 nil in hindsight.

 

Only think that makes me nervous. Otherwise I'd be backing us for another win. Plus the players looked a bit leggy second half.

Hopefully gives a chance for Botman to get a game. Eddie hinted it's a possibility

Spuds last 6 at home: 

D 2-2 Wolves 

L 3-6 Liverpool

W 4-3 manure

L 3-4 Chelsea 

D 1-1 Fulham 

L 1-2 Ipswich 

 

They've got about 4 or 5 decent players out haven't they? Got to fancy us to score a couple.

 


Loads of their regular players are shagged too as they flog them to death. 
 

Shame Fab is out but well not have a better chance to go and win here. They’re abject at the back currently in all ways, massively overplay for the players they have, and their crowd are ripe for turning if they go behind. 
 

Should be a good open game.

Genuinely surprised that Ange hasn't figured out the obvious way to fix everything that's going wrong yet. No matter what's going badly for you in the world, if you go and have a good chat with Susan Kennedy everything will immediately be fine again.

Actually don’t think Schar missing this game is as big a blow as being made out. A bit more mobility with Kelly might be a better fit with Spurs forward line and he’s got to know how to handle Solanke a little.

 

Out of the two I was happier Tonali survived. With Schar missing soon against Arsenal a game to bed Kelly in not the worst.

 

Not sure he’ll gamble on Botman so soon.

They clearly score goals however, and we did gift a few too many gilt edged chances that we should have been punished for. 

 

So we are going to have to try and outscore them. 

 

Lads looked abit tired 2nd half aswell so may need some of the subs to step up around 60 mins and help make a difference. 

 

Sort of game that might suit Barnes for example if they play their high line.

Trying to look at it that way myself. I don't think Kelly is as bad as people have it in their heads - he can't be, frankly.

 

Was looking forward to Schär pinging throughballs, mind.

Who plays on the right though, him or Burn? Gonna be awkward for either one, but it's say Kelly looks slightly more comfortable on the ball than Burn so maybe best to play him on the right as he might cope better? 

 

Mentioned it before in regards the Arsenal cup game, but Schar is such an important part of how we play. It's annoying taking one player out is going to cause big issues but unfortunately it's true, we will need to adapt and that makes the game instantly more difficult.

Kelly the CB looks better than Kelly the LB. He can pick a pass. Hoping it’s just a confidence thing as he has looked a bit nervy. Our crowd doesn’t help at times.
