We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Newcastle and Tottenham

Here are some of your comments:

Newcastle fans

Sandra: Nick Woltemade was not quite on song, Dan Burn was great at the back and Lewis Hall was good too as he didn't let Mohammed Kudus run the show. Some of the players looked tired after 60 minutes. Should have been 3-0 up at half-time but we have not got enough firepower and needed more courage in our convictions. Spurs lucky to be level.

Matt: All of the control for seemingly a negative result. This match had one of those vibes throughout. Bruno Guimaraes made the gear change that we needed to draw first blood but alas, we turned off not once but twice. I winced at the nine minutes added on. It was all so predictable that Spurs would equalise! But the team seem fit and powerful all over the pitch - we just need to work on that focus. This is the third match at home we have dropped points so late on now.

Rod: If you don't convert chances, you don't win. Need more calmness in the box. Lewis Miley was outstanding, as were Hall and Tino Livramento. Hopefully, Yoane Wissa will provide the poachers' instincts when fully fit. Big Nick needs some help and Anthony Elanga needs to prove he was worth the money paid.

Tony: Two steps forward, one step backwards! After good performances v Man City and Everton we have reverted to our earlier performances this season with poor decision-making with final balls, not being clinical enough and conceding poor and late goals. That bubble of optimism has been deflated again.

Spurs fans

Andy: A draw away from home against Newcastle on the face of it sounds good. But two shots on goal all game - both of them from a defender! We were hardly in their half for most of the 99 minutes, and when we were, we couldn't string more than two forward passes together before the move would break down. So we stuck to what we do now which is to pass it sideways and backwards. Most Spurs players are too scared or witless to do anything with the ball. This is the worst Spurs side going forward I've ever seen.

Andrew: Still no clarity or certainty from Thomas Frank's squad. But the team showed determination and perseverance to earn a valuable point. Hopefully we get our full squad back soon, which may unlock the qualities to provide our identity for 2026. Frank needs more time and backing, if he is to stay.

Brian: Woeful first half, but good spirit eventually in the second, and overcoming the adversity of it all should help the team get out of this rut. Frank deserves credit for his positive changes in the later stages. About the penalty, it doesn't matter if it was technically a foul, or if it was soft, harsh, or what have you. That was re-refereeing, pure and simple, and there's nothing uglier in the beautiful game.

Roger: Although we scraped a point it was another generally inept performance from players and manager. Poor passing and movement off the ball and we looked like a bunch of school kids all individually trying to do something spectacular while the rest of the team stand and watch. We concede so many goals from Pedro Porro's inability to defend at right back yet nothing changes. At this rate, 17th is on the cards again. We desperately need a good transfer window in January!
