Tottenham lost match against Newcastle at home with result of 2:1. Situation which was already bad because of a lot of injuries became to be worse after ragging of some unknown virus inside Spurs camp. Few players were ill and didn't train yesterday and as it seems the sickest person in squad is Forster who was not in protocol for this match.

Squad which went out was: Austin, Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence, Bergvall, Sarr, Kulusevski, Johnson, Solanke, Werner. That's very weak squad with a lot of flaws. Newcastle on other side was with stronger eleven with Botman instead of Shar and Dubravka instead of Pope.

Match started good for Roosters because in 4th minute Porro made superb cross toward Solanke and Dom converted it into goal by head after winning aerial duel. However soon after Spurs conceded first goal in this year after Bergvall hit Joelington's hand trying to play from back line, soon after ball deflected to Newcastle, came to Gordon who scored nice goal with low shot in opposite corner of goal. Magpies were better in first half and they had 4 dangerous situations in front of goal while Spurs had zero a part from goal situation. Second goal fell in 38. minute after Spence and Gray failed to prevent low cross from Spurs left side. Ball went toward Dragusin and Isak, Romanian tried to clear it, but it was difficult situation and Isak was to close to him and Isak was able to send ball inside the net for "Ia ia iao after Premier League we go" on N17.

Dragusin stayed in the dressing room on half time and Regullion came in. Coach moved Spence in central defense and Djed showed he's agile and that he can play in that role too. Spurs had more dangerous situations in front of goal in second half, but lack of quality in attack prevented them from scoring the goal. Werner, Johnson, Solanke they are not players for top 4! The closest they've been was situations when Maddison fired decent shot toward goal which ended little wide. Solanke had few headers but he didn't do them in the best way. Son and Maddison came in around 60. minute, but they were unable to make action for goal. Newcastle on the other side had two big chances. One went far over crossbar, other has been saved by Austin who was Tottenham man of the match today.

What to tell after this game ? It was 6:5 for Newcastle in dangerous situations in front of goal. It was close game, two big decisions went against us in this match, we were weaken and Newcastle is in good form. I personally think Tottenham is prioritizing cups in this season and that all those bad games should trick Liverpool to rest some players in following League Cup clash. Stage has been set! They should think they don't need Salah, Diaz, Van Dijk to win Spurs. There is no need to make them tired, there are more important games for them! They are cowards if they go with first 11 against this weaken team! Why do I feel we are going to surprise them in few days ? :) Let's see.

It wasn't important game anyways, we can't get Europa spot in league this season, we should prioritize all cups, we will get 40 points for survival in league somewhere surely.

I have question for Dejan Kulusevski before Liverpool match. Dejan are you hungry ? I hope you are! Let's do Liverpool in few days in League Cup! COYS!
