Spurs were piss poor against a brilliant Newcastle team. With Man Utd and Liverpool coming up next week, today probably won't be rock bottom for Harry Kane and co.
The usual gallows-humour response to a defeat like Spurs’ 6-1 astonishment at Newcastle would be to observe that at least things can’t get worse.
We could go through the list of those to blame for this catastrophic embarrassment. So let’s do that. Hugo Lloris and the four defenders in front of him are all on the list. However much they may have been shafted, they technically remain professional Premier League footballers and didn’t have to highlight the many other errors that have led Spurs to this point quite so atrociously.
Which brings us to the real villains of this. There are those who will tell you that this Spurs performance offers vindication of Conte’s parting remarks, but it’s not really true is it? He is still massively at fault, as he was then, for the failure to address or correct any of those issues; his demand then that players show some respect for a club he was desperate to escape remains as hollow and self-serving now as it was on the day.
while he was too stubborn to pick up the phone and too busy inexplicably defending Fabio Paratici to the hilt, then Levy is going to find himself in his trickiest spot yet during over 20 turbulent years at Spurs. It shouldn’t need Wilson’s goal, slotted home almost apologetically from Miguel Almiron’s pass within seconds of the pair stepping off the bench, to render such talk moot but the stubborn will sometimes grasp at the very shittiest of straws.
