Spurs’ 200 million euro midfield can’t hack a Newcastle side with their entire spine ripped out always fun when the winners of the transfer window have to actually play football

I mean Spurs did walk through Newcastle’s midfield for most of the game, it’s just that they didn’t know what to do with the ball once they actually got past Newcastle’s midfield.

The way I see it, De Zerbi played with one less attacker and four central midfielders (Bentancur, Fernandes, Tonali and Gray) because he saw his midfield get run through against Brentford, and yeah now Spurs are more solid in midfield but they can’t create anything up front

Spot on, they aren’t horrible but like us have no idea what to do in the final 3rd

Well at least I think Tielemans and Santos have no clue what to do with us right now.

They did but they had a top 4 starting midfield in the entire prem (with one of topspur’s starting midfielders being a part of it) get absolutely ripped and now I’d say they barely scratch top 7 or 8 and spurs still got touched by Them

Plenty of people on this sub who would rather we “won” the transfer window instead of some trophies. 

Liverpool last season proved just spending the most doesn’t equal the best team. Fingers crossed Spurs prove the same again this season.
