@InvertTheWing The move is Udogie for Dragusin Extra width down the left, Spence to RCB, Spence can move the ball quicker with Porro in possession on the right Although on the pitch now it looks like Gallagher is coming on

Last 10 minutes, Tottenham went into some panic. Don’t think they expected Atletico to do a 180 in terms of attacking patterns. Just needed to get to HT 1-0 up. A comeback is possible, but I think Tottenham’s lack of ability to make any attacking subs will cost them, and Atletico will go through. Best I can see is Bergvall on for Dragusin. Push up Sarr a bit.

@HimothyReports Or another way to put it. Fulham and Palace gave us far more problems, despite the scoreline. And doesn't that say it all

Genuinely think without the errors it would have been so much closer

@HimothyReports Atleti really weren't that great. First 3 gifted, 4th was never a free kick. We are dreadful, so it won't happen, but a decent time at home in the second leg could easily overturn that if they get the first goal.

@grantgoodstein @InvertTheWing Spot on. And it's the big concern relying on Obobert / Tel / Bergvall / Gray as the future. 3 years ago Sarr looked like he would be top player, it hasn't happened, you just don't know

@InvertTheWing A huge amount of Spurs issues stem from the fact that basically no players have improved over the last 3-4 years

I would also sell Pape Sarr. Absolutely zero improvement in his game in 4 seasons. It’s incredibly concerning. Takes too long to move the ball, only excels when he’s given acres of space. Decent option off the bench.

@InvertTheWing Maybe there's at least a halfway house where it gives vicario enough confidence / kick up the ass from being dropped to put in some decent displays the rest of the season (clutching at any straw available)

The worst thing about the first half is Kinsky being shit means people will think suddenly it makes Vicario good. Time to give Brandon Austin a run in.

@nickty61 @JamesTMaw Exactly this. Game after game multiple players out of position. Porro has waited almost 3 full seasons to play wing back, finally plays that formation and he's the RCB. Any fan who's seen this squad play over 2 seasons would be better just by putting players in natural positions

@JamesTMaw I know we’re just mug punters. I sit high above the home dugout. We were in disbelief with Porro at RCB and the bizarre staggered line. I was hoping it was all a big mistake and someone would stop the show and start again. The single worst plan in PL history.

When we all assess who is culpable for the mess at #THFC I don’t imagine Tudor will rank highly, but isn’t it amazing that playing loads of players out of position and calling them shit hasn’t improved the most mentally fragile group of professional footballers ever assembled?

@adamdnathan Is anyone else just becoming numb to the losing? Going there fortnight after fortnight, all the defeats now blurring into one. It's not just this season , it was the same last yeae. I can hardly remember anything from the Newcastle game and it's only three weeks ago

Everyone is going to have their own way of coping, but all I can feel at the moment is an impossible, enveloping sadness. I know ‘it’s only a game’, but the longer this goes on, the harder it is to reconcile. It is genuinely, by the true definition of the word, unbelievable.

@InvertTheWing He's got to play Solanke, who admittedly wasn't great yesterday but let's be fair he was asked to play as a midfielder. We need a left footer on the left 4-3-3 Porro Danso Dragusin VDV at left back Paulinha Grey Xavi Richy Solanke Tel

Christ, it’s only been 3 games without Romero? Feels like an eternity. Palhinha centre back. I do not want to see Dragusin. Sarr-Gray pivot.

Anything else, and Tudor has to be sacked before kick off. I would accept Sarr over one of Palhinha over Gray. That is it. Spence over Porro if he's fit. I am indifferent. Spence better player, Porro shows more fight

@InvertTheWing @TomTHFCC If Paulinha is DCM yesterday rather than in the back three he tracks Eze and the third goal doesn't happen, bare minimum he'd have just fouled him to stop him getting in the box

@TomTHFCC So put Van De Ven at Left Back, Spence at Right Back. Give Byfield a start, put Gray in his natural position.

The solution to the problem is a manager that doesn't care about player politics. It is the biggest issue. All of these managers keep shoehorning players out of position because they're "senior", when it clearly has NEVER worked. Ange did it. Frank did it. Tudor is doing it. Why on earth not just trust the youth? Because this Gray right back experiment, Spence wide left back experiment has NEVER worked. And these shoehorning players don't even play to their strength, or the systems strength. ZERO benefit. Recall Liverpool's injury crisis in 23/24. They trusted youth, and nearly won a trophy! Their academy isn't even good. But the players had HUNGER.

@InvertTheWing @TomTHFCC This is spot on. We need a left footer on the left. And shoehorning the better midfielders into the defence is weakening the midfield and the defence. So many of the fans sitting around us see it too, it's incredible that manager after manager does the same thing.

At least the season ticket prices are frozen for next season, that's been an important priority for the club this week.

@JacoCats Like him or not, Johnson scored the winner in a cup final last season. That's a successful signing

OUR U23 SIGNINGS IN THE LAST 10 YEARS: Tel £30m Souza £15m Vuskovic £10m Takai £5m Xavi Simons £60m Archie Gray £40m Odobert £27m Bergvall £17m Kinsky £15m Yang £3m Johnson £50m VDV £35m Dragusin £20m Veliz £12m Phillips £2m Udogie £15m Spence £12m Gil £25m Royal £25m Sarr £15m Rodon £10m Ndombele £60m Bergwijn £30m Sessegnon £25m Clarke £10m Sanchez £35m Foyth £10m Janssen £20m Nkoudou £10m Njie £14m Wimmer £5m TOTAL: £665M VDV was the only CLEAR success, the only player ready to make immediately the difference. Xavi is also doing it but a much lower level. Udogie another success but too injury prone. We had a success rate of 8% out of this signings.

@mikeparry8 @MayorofLondon @TfL Have just come back from 6 weeks in Oz, transport links there are all clean, modern and on time, same accross Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, even during big events (Ashes/ tennis / concerts etc). Totally different to what we have here in the UK

Just look at the state of these walls in Oxford Circus tube station. Dank, dripping and filthy. Oxford Circus is one of the most famous locations in the WORLD .. and yet this is how tourists see it: Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon and @TfL should hang their heads in shame 😱 👎 🚆 ..

@ROTS1882 I'm all in for Romero as player manager. At least for the next 3 games, not like he'll be playing!

It’s never worked, has it? Thomas Frank hasn’t shown even the smallest green shoot of hope. Can’t even answer a question convincingly, can’t set us up to even slightly perform, and here we are again - losing to a struggling Newcastle as we drift to three points off the relegation zone. The board seem happy to gamble the future of the club on this. What can they possibly see? Eight matches with out a win. Romero as player-manager would do better. No passion. No fight. A club in nosedive on and off the pitch. I’m genuinely sad watching this. The inertia in the boardroom is disgusting.

@JacoCats He should have gone after the Chelsea game in November. It was clear after that performance the players had given up on this

He should've been sacked after the West Ham game if we're being completely honest. We waited for all the January Transfer Window, without either sacking or backing the manager knowing he was a dead man walking. Once again the club showed how insanely AWFUL they are. Everyone is happy, for me it's just another proof that we're drowining with this ownership. I'M VERY WORRIED.

@TheSpursExpress Stadium DJ playing harry styles 'you know it's not the same as it was' after the game, couldn't be more appropriate

They are destroying our football club. I fear the damage may already be done, but IT’S TIME TO GO! #FrankOut #LangeOut #VinaiOut #ENICOut

@tehTrunk Looking forward to hearing Frank saying Newcastle are a top team with top mentality in about 75 minutes

@yidal1985 ‘Oooh costs outside of our control’

Reckon they’ll make the tickets any cheaper in the Championship? Serious question.

West Ham *

Understand that Kinsky wants minutes and opportunities to play, but if he starts games, does well and we actually end up in a relegation battle with Wear Ham, it's going to be a whole new level of incompetence from the #THTC board and management, which is really saying something
