Return to the Mike Ca$hley days, I tell you. Trading at a pure profit, so the team can't whine about PSR nonsense. This is shambolic.
Depressing. We better play reeeeeally well on Sunday.
Anything less than a victory will turn the atmosphere sour as all get out. Rightly so.
If they don't spend money in the winter window, the only three explanations are that Howe is an idiot, the hierarchy suck at their jobs, or the Saudis aren't willing to spend any longer. None of those are good things.
I learned we made a cool 22 mill in profit
Haha, yeah, Burnie didn't cover himself in glory there, but I put that mess on Pope.
The season is young and I think losing O’Reily in a cup game will come back to haunt us, but enjoying it nonetheless!
Good result for Newcastle. Tottenham need more clinical goal scorers. Richarlison has been a flop that cannot stay fit. Van Der Ven is one of my favorite players and is arguably their best player aside from Son, but he too cannot stay fit. I understand playing a high line with Van Der Ven out there because he has recovery pace, but when he's gone there is a major drop off in the back.
I tell you, man, that was a Spursy loss. At one point, I was expecting a 3 or 4 to nil drubbing. And the only goal yinz got was an own goal at that. I hear you on the need for clinical goal scorers. Your problems was the opposite ours has been this season: Yinz get the chances but didn't score. Isaak had been getting almost no chances, then finally got the tap in. A top striker is only as good as his service. Put Haaland on Newcastle and he'd maybe have a goal more than Isaak, but that's doubtful.
yeah. For spurs Ange ball is better than the post pochettino predecessors. It's more in line with what they did with Pochettino, but back then I think spurs had better high end players who could create and finish. so far it's a lot of possession and passing around the final third probing for a perfect chance. without a lot of real quality chances. and in certain instances there is almost 0 desire to put balls in the box, which most likely is a tactical decision. but 2 of their 3 games have been even or playing behind late and you would think they would be a little more desperate. I am excited to see Solanke play. I haven't seen much from him in the past.
That reminds me of when Spain used to be the best in the world but then fell off. I saw them get bounced in a tourney, losing in injury time, and they put no balls in the box. They were still trying to pass it around looking for the perfect opportunity!
Nevermind. We don't get to see Sandro... ever. Seriously, though, if he wants to start Willock I'm fine with that, but make a statement and bench Joelinton, who's been poor all season.
Problem in the midfielder is that Bruno is the only passer, and we have no defensive midfielder. Starting Joelinton and Willock together were stupid because it left Bruno as the only one who actually stays in the midfield; the other two want to attack, so it's like we don't have a midfield when we turn it over.
The Gordon performances are mystifying. I think he is struggling with being asked to split time on the right side--maybe feels unappreciated. That's no excuse, but I do think it calls into question the wisdom of using him on the right side. All this could have been avoided if we got a true starting right wing in the window. Then we would have Gordon and Barnes competing for playing time with a super sub coming off the bench each game.
