Newcastle V Spurs by Devo

Glebee

Newcastle are horrific. **** I though Soldado might get a chance on goal.....

irishmover

Great second half great result.

5 points gained on Arsenal in 2 games. Now 6 points behind.

Hoping Fulham get something from this game.

Pains me to say it but things are looking pretty positive!

Why does it pain you?

So is Devo credited with starting this thread? Brilliant performance and result, so nice to finally trash a team too

Because it's Spurs. Whenever you get a glimmer of hope they usually go out and lose their next game.

irishmover

Penalty Liverpool.

That's that then.

Brilliant performance from Bentaleb. Composure on the ball and pace to get away from his marker throughout. Repaying Sherwood's faith. Though one swallow doesn't make a summer, a few more performances like that I will really eat any words I said about him not being ready.

I thought we got fortunate at stages, as we really needed some world class saves from Lloris to keep the clean sheet.

Though I always thought Newcastle were there for the taking, we could have had a few more. We got them on a good night with all their injuries/suspensions.

Thankfully we got them back for the result in WHL.

Onwards and upwards! COYS!!

Credit to Tim for dropping Dawson, never thought that would happen.

Just got redirected to the first couple of pages of the thread ... When we (most of us) were ranting about the team selection pre kickoff. What do we know eh...

irishmover

I doubt he dropped Dawson. More like rested him.

Kaboul was top quality though. Could really do with him back for the remaining 12 games.

Just got my Electricity and Broadband back after being blacked out all evening,had to rely on the radio for updates,brilliant win,wasn't expecting to hammer them away from home.

DubPerryman

Yeah, Kaboul and Vertonghen is a very good strong/fast centre back pairing. Plus they compliment each other with one being left footed and the other being right footed.

I'd play Dawson against Dnipro and keep Kaboul for the PL.

Just said on Sky that he made a decision to with Kaboul, got the feeling it was a straight swap rather than Dawson being rested, said Kaboul had bided his time and it was a tough decision.

They really do compliment each other. It felt like they had been playing together all season. Kaboul with a performance like that having not played much in two years.

Praying he's over the injuries and will play himself into a new contract. It does expire this summer right?

I was first in so I'm taking credit for the thread,this is only my second match thread start of the season the other one was in November and was the 3-0 win over Stoke and now a 4-0 win over Newcastle.100% record!

who the fcuk is Devo;)

DubPerryman

Lennon with another 5 or 6 out of 10 performance...

Sugarlumps

I didnt see any highlights, so did we look more asured with Vertonghen & Kaboul at the back? Walker was bad? Anyone else play poorly?

irishmover

Walker was pants. Nothing else needs to be said about that.

Kaboul and Verts played like they played together for years. Great partnership and hopefully both remain for for final 12. It's no coincidence that we didn't concede last night. Them two and ofcourse Lloris making some world class saves.

Lennon was pretty oblivious again. I'd drop him for Eriksen or Townsend for the Norwich game.

Chadli chipped in with the goal of the night shortly after coming on.

Soldado wasn't on long enough to comment.

Dembele was excellent again while Paulinho went missing at times.

Adebayor and Bentaleb the pick of the bunch. Adebayor got 2 goals and assist and worked his socks off. Bentaleb played like a 28 year old seasoned pro in his prime. Hat off to the lad I was critical of his selection recently but he was fantastic.

Sugarlumps

^^^
Thanks for that.

irishmover

No problem

But yeh that's just opinion!

Sugarlumps

Still can’t believe he benched Dawson, must have been a hard call considering he’s captain. He must of know his performances were below par, could do him the world of good though?

If Kaboul and Vertonghen remain fit for the remainder of the season I'd hope Sherwood won't throw Dawson back into league games.

Oh forgot. Naughton was actually an unsung hero too. He played well at left back. I don't recall a foot wrong and made some crucial clearances/tackles. So hoping we won't need to see Vertonghen placed at left back again.

Sugarlumps

If we could play the remaining league fixtures with those two at the back there were in with a shot, obviously Ade would have to keep up his form. Anytime I’ve seen Naughton at RB he’s looked comfortable, could do a stint there if called upon.

Good article on last nights game -
