IT"S FINALLY HAPPENING :thumbup:

 

Serge Aurier left the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at half-time on Thursday when his side were losing 1-0 to Liverpool after a bust-up with manager Jose Mourinho in the dressing room, sources have told ESPN. Tottenham conceded four minutes into injury time at the end of the first half when Sadio Mane crossed the ball to Roberto Firmino, who ended Liverpool's barren run of 482 minutes without a league goal.

 

Aurier was furious when Mourinho singled him out for criticism regarding the goal in the dressing room. Other players were also involved, with Eric Dier and Joe Rodon criticised for their role in the goal. Aurier engaged in a heated exchange with Mourinho, according to ESPN sources, and when Mourinho decided to substitute him before the start of the second half the Ivory Coast international decided to leave the stadium.

 

Sources added that some players felt the half-time chaos in the dressing room, as well as Harry Kane's injury and the change of tactics, were among the reasons why Trent Alexander-Arnold scored just two minutes into the second half.

 

I'd almost be happy to give them a League Cup this year ... for the joy of watching the massive Year Three Implosion and December Departure, just as all is written in the Book of Jose.

Amazing to see how much more attacking the team is that Everton are fielding against Newcastle than they did against us. No defence full of 4 centre backs, no full backs on the wing, Siggurdson in CM, etc. Shows how much they were scared to open up against us. 

 

Ancelotti knew we would bury them if he dared go with the team he fielding today.

There's a bit more to it. They compensated for not having Doucoure in their team. Ancelotti knew they were weaker for it with not having him in the team.

 

And it's Newcastle. At home. It's much more likelier they'll get a result against them than they would against us, one of the most in-form away sides.

They showed us a lot of respect, that's for sure. Ancelotti's no mug and they almost squeezed a win out of it. Yet another indication of how far we've come as a side.

I swear Jeff Hendrick must be cursing the day he decided to sign for Newcastle over AC Milan. Of course, there's still a long way to go this season, but imagine the prospect of having a Serie A title on your CV. Yet he's playing in this stifled, unimaginative, milquetoast Newcastle side (I'm aware they've started this game with a bit more vim and vigour than usual, though). Horrific decision in hindsight.
