Joelinton, who should have been sent off and suspended last week, commits 2 bookable fouls in 2 minutes for a yellow. Need to wind him up as he looks to be on a short fuse.
1-0 HT. Played alright but haven't created enough good chances. Poor final balls and a few dangerous ones that nobody's read. Missing a striker.
Even half but as per our defending is dreadful and costs us. No idea what goes on in training with our backline, just never look like a unit despite having good individuals. Won’t get anywhere if we don’t sort the defensive tactics and shape out.
Odobert has faded from the game as it went on, but that isn't his strongest flank. I think we need to reshuffle the front line and move him out left, Son down the middle and Kulu on the right. I'd also like to see some proactive changes for once, maybe bring on Bentancur for Sarr who is on a yellow.
Problems at Newcastle I read? Well here comes the jolly old Spurs to the rescue it seems! Get the bloody lead out,Spurs!
We don't have any midfielders who really understand the art of shielding the defence. They all look absolutely clueless with their backs against the wall trying to deal with things in our area. Which is why I've said the only players who moved elsewhere who i would've liked to see at Spurs were Ugarte or Onana.
He certainly wouldn't be one I would be criticising after that half. Thought he looked really bright and positive, but agree with you that he is wasted on the right. Although Sonny down the middle wouldn't be my dream option!
Johnson for Sarr. Presume Kulu in midfield, Odobert left, Son middle and Johnson right. Needs a big performance does the Welshman.
