Newcastle Hadn’t Had So Many Shots On Goal In a Very Long Time

Newcastle made 20 shots on the Spurs goal yesterday, which tells you much of where Spurs let themselves down again as they dropped more points in a season packed with too many bad results.

In very simple terms, a very poor Sergio Reguilon tried to be an attacking outlet, and this frequently left the other three defenders exposed – and one of those was Davinson Sanchez.

A recipe for disaster with which Mourinho has endlessly sought to make work, but in the final analysis, the players at his disposal simply aren’t up to it.

Expected Goals

The Toon’s xG ratio was 3.86 and Spurs’ 2.18 which reflects the space that an otherwise unappetizing mob were suddenly firing the ball in like a brigade of World Cup winners.

Across the day we shall go through the Tottenham boys that were involved in this latest fiasco, in search of answers. At this stage, it feels as if our Portuguese Napoleon has met his Waterloo.
