As bad a refereeing display as you’ll see all season. We haven’t been much better but somehow lead.

Do you think Tielemans would have been happy to join Spurs to primarily be on the bench and start three or four league games a season?
No point talking sense. These guys are too busy slagging off current Spurs players to pay any attention to the reality of prospective players

The standard of refereeing has been astonishingly poor. Offside calls against both sides, both Son’s Clear penalty decisions where he has been kicked, so much is wrong.

I think Skipp and Llorente are passengers in this game. Personally I would bring on Wanyama and Lucas for them. Give us more pace behind and balance in the middle.

Dembele would have been perfect for a game like today

My concern with Tripps is teams now specifically target him as a clearly identified weak link - and also it’s not a bad run of form but his lack of athleticism that is being exploited compared to his positioning high up the pitch. So strange Poch hasn’t sorted this

We need that ball boy to just smash Oliver in the nads on the way out for the second half. Couldn’t be more biased if he had Liverpool underpants on his head

Trippier's horrendous first half has him with our best passing accuracy at 94.1%, having had involvement in the goal we lead with, 1 shot that we got a corner from, 1 key pass, 3 accurate long passes and 1 accurate cross out of 3.

Absolutely shite.

He's a right back. His job first and foremost is to protect the right side of our defence. He's done nothing of the sort.

Its my first Spurs game. Loving it!

Winks and Sanchez look superb till now.

Chillwell and Maddison are very good too tbh.

the thing is, he doesn't have any nads cos he can't bring himself to give anything against these lot.

I'm appalled that a young man like Skipp who is what 18 yrs old and just playing in his 10th league has not grabbed this game by the scruff of its neck.

He should be imperious and commanding.... fcuk give the lad a break.. how do we build his confidence unless we play the boy.

Look at Tielemans... that's from getting game time people. Give him time.

I'm not in the habit of moaning about referees, but really. Oliver has ignored at least 4 clear fouls on Spurs players, has booked Son for being tripped and Vertonghen for winning the ball.

It's makes a change to be ahead, after having been outplayed, rather than the other way around. There's been an element of run-of-the-ball, plus Son has slipped three times when in advantageous attacking positions, but we're getting out-thought in midfield, perhaps unsurprisingly given the level of experience we don't have there.

And the defence seems strangely uncoordinated. It's not been individual errors, it's been slow reactions, collectively.

But we're ahead, so I don't expect any changes at half time. Managers rarely make substitutions before 60 minutes, except in cases of injury or if they're being beaten badly.

P.S. Tielemans is exactly what this Leicester team has needed. Someone with some vision: an Eriksen-type player.

Sissoko for skipp position, possibly moura instead and drop eriksen a little deeper

Can I just mention one small point regarding Skipp? He's only 18. He's very far from being the finished article.

We are very lucky to be ahead. We don't need a personel change but we need some adjustments

Barnes and chillwell and getting in behind trippier too much. Now this isn't another trippier bashing as we need to be better as a team

We have been ok on rose Skipp side

Sissoko maybe has to cover more maybe. We need to get the ball to eriken more do maybe have him deeper and push Skipp further infront

Llorente needs to do more
