Tottenham’s dismal record at St. James’ Park continued as they fell to Newcastle 2-0, marking their first Premier League loss of the new season. Despite the defeat, Spurs showed promise with several dominant spells throughout the match. However, the efforts didn’t translate into points, leaving Tottenham empty-handed on matchday.
One person who remains optimistic is Spurs’ manager, Ange Postecoglou. Reflecting on the game, Postecoglou acknowledged the disappointment of the scoreline but was encouraged by his team’s performance. He noted that while Tottenham had control for large portions of the match, they were unable to convert that dominance into goals. Nevertheless, Postecoglou assured fans that big things are on the horizon for his squad in the coming weeks.

“The amount of chances we have, we really should be getting more than what we’re getting as a return at the moment.”
The Lilywhites had twice the number of shots and around four times more touches inside the box. Not a really good day to be at the office for Postecoglou. He also said that
“Spurs controlled the game most of the time and there was not much different he would expect from the team apart from the result”

Newcastle is a formidable opponent, and given Spurs’ poor record at St. James’ Park, this defeat stings even more.
The big question now is whether Postecoglou’s
