Match Threads Spurs Vs Newcastle

Another positive is that Romero wasn’t booked today. Needs to avoid a booking in one of the next two games to escape a suspension.

He is only on 8, he needs 2 more to hit 10

Before Leeds (6 games ago) our GD was -2 and the worst of the top 4 challengers.

Now it's +14 and the best of them.

+15

If we carry on playing as we are Chelsea must start looking over their shoulder.

Wonderful 2nd half performance

That was all about Romero and Dier for me. Their ‘danger men’ not in it, not a sniff. Whoever they are lol

Glad to say was wrong about the wing backs, often when I see a dodgy line-up it is sadly proven to be right to be concerned so very glad to be proven wrong!

Top 4 well and truly on. I know Arsenal have a couple in hand, but Palace on form at home and we still have to play Arsenal ourselves. I honestly believe we can do it.

#startBergwijn. Nicely done by Lucas too

Instead of Son... Kulusevski ? ... luxury problem. We only need a good back up for Kane and our attacking options are better than ever.

Was really worried it would be one of those games where we dominate but show nothing for it, especially after their first goal. The immediate response and second half put that idea to bed. Great great result and a performance that has lifted my mood considerably!

We’ve now scored at least two goals in each of our last five straight PL games. We’re now the fourth highest scorers in the PL.

Nah, they're great options full of pace to have against a tired defence when the game is open coming off the bench. We have options and it is great to see.

 

[Crow]

Good result. And we showed some resilience to not let the heads drop after going a goal down, and just letting the game peter out to a dissapointing loss like we've seen countless times before.

Great result Romero was immense

 

[shoggy33]

What the actual f**k has happened to matt doherty? He was outstanding again.

 

[Russ1201]

Eight more wins to go.

I take 7 wins and a draw don't want to be greexy now ? COYS

 

[mpickard2087]

Proper game of two halves that. There's a tremendous difference to us when the pitch is stretched and we have the opportunity to move the ball vertically and attack space, compared to teams that are sat in and we have to pick the lock.

We're playing some really slick stuff the last few games when we're able to coax teams onto us and rotate possession from deep and eventually play through and go at them. Newcastle made it difficult for the first half, but the problem for all oppositions is that to keep it compact for 90 mins and not be drawn out and increase the spaces between the lines is ultra difficult - especially if the scoreline is against you. Second half, especially after that early goal from a turnover of possession in their half, they had to chase and it played right into our hands and we tore through them.

We need to add strings to our bow for certain game situations, but the gameplan is starting to really come into its stride now.

 

[easley91]

Remember the start of the season when we couldn't hit the target? Now we're up there with the highest scorers. What a turnaround.

We have the makings of a great squad here. 3-5 careful additions alongside the right sales and we could really push next year

And he also made it look easy, like watching Vertonghen.

Goal difference is looking tasty
