Not a great performance and few genuine chances against a pretty poor defence, hopefully a nice warm up after the break, but we will need play better on Thursday.
Great to have Bowen back Antonio looking a little sharper Fredricks had a good match, as did Dawson and Cresswell. Fornals very poor... again. A shadow of his early season form.
Very poor of Cresswell at the end and could have had a Red card.
Finally I don't think Frankie is made for management. I have no idea what he was thinking to bring CLS off with 10 minutes to go! he needed to score and if he had any chance of getting a goal it was coming from CLS or Richialson, if he wants to throw caution to the wind and bring another forward on then do so, but take a someone else off and accept you may concede in doing so, not the guy most likely to score for you.
Newcastle playing high against Spurs, its like they didn't watch our match against them, they love to knock it in behind so you need sit deeper. although this invites different problems it prevents Son running in behind all the time with too much space ahead of him.
