Not ideal at all. I woke up this morning feeling confident we were going to pick up our first points of the season, and that we were gonna show what we can really do. However- I was wrong. I was upset when I saw Savio was out of the squad. It’s just typical Tottenham to have a new player unavailable after a 15 minute cameo against a championship side midweek. Spursy. I thought first half we actually looked decent. Van Hecke with some great line breaking passes, Marmoush looking very sharp, Fernandes looking good and we almost scored twice through Van Hecke and Porro. With Marmoush, I think he looked extremely sharp and did as much as he possibly could considering who he was surrounded by (Porro in RW and Tel). I’m sure he will go on to do great things for us when surrounded by better players. I have to address tel. Since the season has started Mathys Tel has put on his best Randal Kolo Muani impression. He has been appalling. He is where possession goes to die and never fails to kill attacks and momentum, as seen when Marmoush skipped past 2 and tel just lost it. Archie Gray was very poor today, I don’t quite understand playing a RB in RW and a CM in RB when Archie Gray clearly cannot play there to a good enough standard. Onto the goals, the first goal I can accept. An inform Elanga took his goal extremely well and we were ultimately caught on the counter. The second goal however is beyond poor from a spurs perspective. How Nick Woltemade is allowed to win a free header is poor as it is, however letting the ball bounce in your box is something that CANT happen. Overall, Spurs lacked intent going forward and will surely hope to add creativity towards the end of the window with Simons having a long injury and Maddison not staying fit. Newcastle however, they looked extremely sharp and were deserving of their win, wonderful on the counter and really solid at the back, credit to Jaissle!
