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.

Man, Eddie Howe has really put his balls on the line. Refused any defender but Guehi? Stupid, in my book, and we're stuck running out Dan Burn and Emil Krafth still. That's not a side challenging for Europe, Eddie.
They don't get into Europe, or, likely, if it isn't the CL, he's gone, because Bruno and Isaak and Gordon will all want to leave. This team is teetering on the edge of the abyss.

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.

Smash and grab win despite absolutely sucking again. This putrid play has to stop or Europe is a dream.
Nice to get the results through awful play, though. If the team can turn it around over the international break (they have to or there will be huge losses in the future), these results can really help them. The team has to shrug off all the awful crap of the summer.

Haha, yeah, Burnie didn't cover himself in glory there, but I put that mess on Pope.
Yinz have started the season brightly!

The season is young and I think losing O’Reily in a cup game will come back to haunt us, but enjoying it nonetheless!
Gotta love that Tottenham high line! I echo your sentiments. Not really sure what to say about the game as a whole, but we got the win against a decent opponent, so I'll withhold too much criticism. Again, we play really well for 10 or 15 minutes and then look like a different team. In fairness though, we made it through the fabby and Cher band (lol...voice to text...Fabian Schär ban) relatively unscathed. ONWARD!
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.
How do you feel about Solanke, aside from his early injury?
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!

freaking Callum Wilson, man. Now he's still not fit to practice after the international break and will be out some weeks more. But don't worry, Howe assures, it's not a long-term injury. It's only a months-long injury, but nah, not long term, no worries
Good thing we have--checks notes--Will Osula? to spell Isaak.
Good thing we took care of striker, CB, and RW in the window like we needed to--oh wait, we did none of those things.
Welp, no choice but to start blooding Osula, stupid as that is, in important moments. Isaak can't play every minute of every game.

Another abhorrent performance and, let's be honest, a bad lineup Howe had to correct at halftime, but the result is excellent.
