Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Newcastle United (04/01/25)

[David Edgar]

Isak is having a Bambi on ice game.

 

Spurs efforts have made it tricky. They run a lot.

 

Botman shaking off the rust. And boy, he is rusty.

 

Murphy assists. It is what he does.

 

Gordon having a top game.

[STM]

3 things to see out the win:

 

No sendings off (Burn I'm looking at you)

 

Get the 3rd goal

 

Deal with the substitutions of Maddison, Bissouma and Son 

[Kanj]

Just need to play our style and get our midfield on the ball and control. We can’t play chaotic. Sven has settled in very well. His interceptions high up the pitch have been sorely missed.

[BergenMagpie]

Might be because Ive had 4 cups of coffee on empty stomach today, but Ive been shaking throughout. Please put this game to bed early 2nd half 

[joeyt]

Desperately need that 3rd. Didn't want half time to come as we're all over them.

 

Same again second half please. Worried about Burn on a yellow

[Lush Vlad]

Shit first 15 by our recent standards.  Been very good since with Bruno and Tonali switching around all the while and getting on the ball more.
 

We just need another goal or two. They’ll get better when Maddison and Son come on. 
 

Tino MOTM so far. 

[andycap]

Get tonali on corners please gordon and hall haven't been great today. 

[Cronky]

Excellent performance. It's just a shame we're not further ahead.

 

it's the best I've seen Livramento play.

[KaKa]

Done really well to come back, take the lead and seize control.

 

Hopefully a strong start to the second half to put the game away.

[Doctor Zaius]

Mad how much better we look in possession recently.

Spurs regens are struggling 

Their strength off the bench are coming back after illness, hopefully leggy and gasping.

[nufc123]

Could have almost killed the game if Isak touch was better at the end there. 

[GEFAFWISP]

Hope we punish Archie Gray's crimes against barnets more in 2nd half.

I reckon a win at Spurs sees Postecoglou gone

 

Would make me so happy for some reason

[CPL]

Similar to the game against Man Utd. We have control but it's far from over and they have decent options off the bench. Slow start but glad we controlled it better last 20mins. 

[Dancing Brave]

If we get a third early on Spurs will fall apart.

Whoever these two on TNT are. Might switch to USA.

Fletch and McCoist. Asking for a red anytime a challenge goes in. 

[joeyt]

Tino has been fantastic

[Nine]

To be fair to them they pressed really well for 30 minutes but they’ve dropped off completely now, would be a hard ask for their depleted squad to keep that up for 90. 
 

Disappointed that we didn’t manage to exploit their high line in that first half hour but we just weren’t clean enough on the ball, now they’ve died off they arnt playing as high and reckless but there is definitely space in behind for us. 
 

Second half will be ours, one more will kill it.

[black_n_white]

Good show so far, we’ll continue to get chances. Porro is their main threat down the right.

[SUPERTOON]

Cracking response to going behind. Early goal second half and we should go on to win. Got to be aware of them attacking still, especially with Son and Maddison on the bench.

Bruno/Sandro bossing the middle helping.

Agreed. Been a few heart in mouth moments and their attack will improve once they make subs. 
 

Joelinton seemed on a mission to get booked and all. But has somehow managed to get away with it so far. 

[andycap]

On set pieces I mean not overall performances. 

[nufc123]

Sloppy start from Livra, but after that one of his best game.
