Joelinton - who needs a last name when your first name is a full name

- Start date
Spurs to their credit are one of the best sides at responding to other sides scoring. Something that's been the case for a while with them. Loads of times they start off shit and take a long time to get going in games or have the wrong starting plan, but when they concede, they are really good at ramping up the pressure to force an equalizer. Something I want to see more of from us. We don't up the urgency enough when we concede.
Keep on thinking Atsu is still on loan from Chelsea.
I stand corrected.
Jo Elinton?
Forgot how good he is. He looks razor sharp today.
Its prononunced Joe Ellington
I really wish they'd be awake from the start though. Every game so far we've had to concede in order to start playing.
It'll cost us throughout the season, you can't come back and win every game, especially against better opposition.
Poch under pressure if he can't turn this around.
Imagine being on the same number of points as Chelsea, with their inexperience manager and championship players.

Almoron
I've never seen Almiron play well for the Toon. Looked like a world beater in MLS
it's "Joey Lington" according to Alan Smith.
Sissoko
Jose there watching. Maybe he fancies the Newcastle job.
Spurs got away with quite a few comebacks last season. Not started this one too brightly either. People putting them in the top 4 automatically were a bit quick to do so imo.
That usually happens when the manager knows exactly what types of adjustments to make.
Is his nickname Duke?
Very well, make sure it does not happen again.I stand corrected.
Oh, crap, maybe I was wrong.
Jose to take Newcastle?
Beautiful pitch I have to say. Envious
Not necessarily. A lot of times it's player mentality and with Spurs specifically I'd definitely say that. They don't change much about their game, they just start ramping up the effort right after they concede to do a quick equalizer and if it doesn't happen then it cools back down a bit (like now).
It's funny this football of today, player painfully rolls on the grass, ref says play on, player gets up and runs his lung out.
Do Newcastle have another forward?
What a goal by Barnes to put Burnley 1-0 up. 4 goals from 3 from him now in the league.

Or Spurs?
Longstaff is terrible
Unless you are Aymeric Laporte who nearly rolled his way back to Manchester.It's funny this football of today, player painfully rolls on the grass, ref says play on, player gets up and runs his lung out.
Spurs with no Eriksen look a bit rubbish tbh.
Why is Kane walking around the pitch as if he’s Messi?
Get in the fecking box mate.

Are you sure about that? i mean he is young and British.
I honestly think people like to overrate unquantifiable things like "mentality" and "determination". Well coached teams are unsurprisingly good at making coaching adjustments.
Don't forget hungry.
Longstaff is exactly what we need. Young, British, and rubbish. Perfect for 90s Ole.

Sissoko has been absolutely gash.
Spurs without eriksen is United with lingard
Spurs having their best player on the bench again, working out well. Similar thing happened in their first game until they brought him on in the second half.
That would be funny. Glaston will write how Jose is going to win trophies with Spurs, while playing wonderdul attacking football and behaving like a proper gentleman.
That best player spent the entirety of the last game looking completely fecking pointless, and his contributions in the opening game were horrendously overrated too.
Of course we eventually improved and piled the pressure on a tiring Villa team.
Nah completely disagree. So many times it's just a goal conceded that gives players a kick up the ass and they just start working harder which is sometimes the only thing making the difference. It's not always some tactical adjustment. In fact that was something that was a big part of it with United over the years. Tactics weren't anything overly complicated or something that changed massively game to game, just sometimes players would need a kick up the ass to get going and respond to a bad start.
