Disappointing
Tottenham Hotspur were really poor against Newcastle United and produced one of their worst performances in recent years.
Spurs were really bad defensively.
It will be interesting to see how Spurs bounce back.
Despite the result against Newcastle, Tottenham are still in the hunt for a top-four finish in the Premier League table this season.
Spurs will have to move on from the loss against Newcastle.
They simply have to.
