Tottenham 5 Newcastle 1 – Match ratings and comments on all the NUFC players

We asked Jonathan Drape-Comyn to give us his match ratings and player comments after Tottenham 5 Newcastle 1.

A game where Eddie Howe saw his Newcastle United team follow his plan closely until almost half-time.

Then everything simply fell apart.

MATCH RATINGS:

Dubravka – 5

Not at fault for the goals but did concede five…

Manquillo – 3

So bad I thought we missed Krafth.

Schar – 4

Great free kick but that was it. Terrible defensively.

Burn – 3

Shocking today.

Worst we’ve seen him by far, looked way off it and was dragged all over the place.

Targett – 5

Defensively not great but not as bad as the rest of his defence.

Joelinton – 3

Played like the original Joelinton today.

Shelvey – 3

So slow man. Did nothing.

Willock – 6

Maybe, maybe the only one out of the starting eleven who maybe did ok.

Fraser – 3

By far his worst game under Howe.

Don’t recall him even touching the ball?

ASM – 4

Ambled around when not in possession and ran around like a headless chicken when he was.

Wood – 3

Shocking. Might as well have had 10 men on the pitch.

Did next to nothing and although he got next to no service, he needs to do better.

SUBSTITUTES

Murphy – 4

Not a right back, or a winger, or a Premier League footballer at that.

Bruno – 7

Brought a bit of life to a side that was already dead.

Lascelles – N/A (Not on long enough to judge)

Would have still done better upfront than Wood.
