Match Threads Leicester City v Spurs

[AtoubaToothpaste]

It was so bad; so bad I feel it has to be tactical. It's the kind of positioning I feel like I would be doing, it was that odd.

I think it was tactical. Dier did something similar in the City game. But as a team we shit the bed and Leicester used Dier's pushing up against him to great effect. Rogers deserves some credit for that. Dier doens't have the pace or mobility to do it regularly.

If Poch had had Klopp's backing its entirely plausible that we'd have won the league at least once and possibly a champions league, given he very nearly managed that on a shoestring. Klopp's done fine but in the same time frame as Poch Klopp got Allison, VDV, Mane, Matip, Robertson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Wijnaldum, Salah, Keita, Fabinho and Shaqiri to mention but a few.

Just for the comparison, here's Poch's signings in that same period.

Pau Lopez, Nkoudou, Sissoko, N'Jie, Fazio, Davinson, Gazzaniga, Foyth, Llorente, Aurier, Moura, Clarke, Ndombele, Lo Celso, Sessegnon, Vorm,

Very underrated post and shows how far we have declined.

We had statistically the best backline in England for three years and now bar Romero its dross.

Power house players such as VDV, Modric, Bale, Dembele, Jan, Toby, Walker, Eriksen, Rose etc have all long gone.

Bentacur, Kulu and Romero are the only decent signings we have made in 4-5 years. It really is horrendous.

The fees we paid for Davison, Ndombele, Soldado, Lo Celso make me cringe
