Match Threads Leicester vs Spurs

[wadewill]

Sorry, really don't agree with a lot of this.

Son and Maddison were good in the first half. Second half wasn't shit, it was only after they scored. Before that we should be taking one of those chances.

Frustrating, but we could have been 4/5 up and probably should have by the time they scored

Very much in-line with last season though. Almost as if we play well, think it's easy and take our foot off the gas. As soon as the game turns we done have the balls to dig in

Leicester are really not very good

Would love to see the VAR lines on that Vardy goal. His left boot looks offside.

Doesn’t change anything but looks off

 

[Drink!Drink!]

Disappointed in lack of discipline and mentality

Leicester scored a goal, so what, keep playing to the plan. Why did they instantly turn into a bunch of headless chickens. i am very worried that there is a return of the mentality problem

 

[Grey Fox]

Werner is better than Son on the left.

But how do you drop Sonny?

Easy on form since new year

 

[HildoSpur]

Son and Johnson where absolutely woeful unfortunately. Maddison was great first half but tired and became very sloppy in the second half. Whole team just lost focus and belief in the second half which is extremely worrying. Good debuts from Gray and Bergvall though and you have to think both will be starting very soon.

 

[teedee]

Ange needs to look at himself more than anything else here.

Crazy game management. Looked clueless. Porro was allowed to hobble around for 5 minutes instead of just making a change immediately. We had Richy and Solanke on the pitch and we were fucking about passing the ball around in added on time. Lump the fucking ball in the box and try to get a knock down or something. Plan A or nothing. Now we actually have players for an alternative plan. The one cross we got in Richy got on the end of and could have done better.

Solanke did well in everything but finishing. Couple of really guilt edge chances that Richy would get pelters for missing like he has already for the 1 chance he had in the 8 minutes he had on the pitch.

Son isn't showing near enough as club captain.

Defence is still all over the place.

Vicario pissed me off the way he went off at Bergvall, the problem is both VDV and Romero were too afraid to push forward with the ball or play a long ball themselves.

Vicario made himself look a complete prat with his over reaction. As if he's Mister Perfect!

Bergval has some nice touches but was soft as shit at one point and lost the ball and almost cost us a goal. Top players can’t be doing that. He needs to learn quick if he wants to stay involved.

I think that was just inexperience in this league, he will learn. The youngsters coming into the team we are going to have to except there is going to be some learning curve if that’s the direction we are going in.

The senior players, I more concerned about the lack leadership on the pitch from them, taking ownership of situations on the pitch when we lose our way in games. There is no vocal leader out there it’s all heads down when we concede a goal.

 

[dagraham]

Feels like a defeat against a really poor team.

Same issues again unfortunately. Some great football at times, but lacking that ruthless and clinical streak you need as a top team, with us at times trying to walk the ball into the net…… which takes on an even greater importance when we can’t be relied upon not to give up soft goals.

Also concerning that we collectively disappeared from the moment they equalised.

 

[PCozzie]

Why do we not seem to have a basic defensive shape for when the opposition have their 10 minute spell?

It's like the whole team go into hyper-drive, but completely uncoordinated. Ten outfield players charging about like 5 year olds on Haribo getting picked off one-by-one until Albert Steptoe has a free header at the far post.

Someone has to give the signal for us to drop deeper and get solid until they run out of ideas. We're just so get-attable.

 

[olliec]

I worry for Ange, so far for me his style of play is not cut out for the PL. we are going to get so exposed against a top 6 team.

 

[goughie1966]

We dominated the ball and created loads, we just didn’t put them in the net

We dominated with 9 players it's true for 40 mins. We didn't dominate because of Son or Johnson that's for sure

 

[HildoSpur]

Would love to see the VAR lines on that Vardy goal. His left boot looks offside.

Doesn’t change anything but looks off

He was well onside

 

[Kirito]

We can save our season against Everton lads.

 

[DenverSpur]

In fairness to Werner, he can not play on the right. He needs to be on the left and getting crosses in, which is his strength.

Should have come on for Son

 

[ohtottenham!]

Bright side is it may actually be a blessing that our weaknesses are being exposed this early in the season where we have a better chance of making adjustments.

 

[Impspur1]

So it's OK to draw against Leicester?
This season is now. These are the matches we should be winning.

It’s not but it’s away and it’s a point and apart from a 10 minute spell a good performance. We played some cracking stuff at times but didn’t kill the game off. Solankie has been here a week and I’m sure those front combinations will improve with time.

 

[Rage]

Son should really be an impact sub.

Johnson more so.

We need to stop just putting people on the pitch based on reputation vs. actual impact. Ange talks about him having this ruthless approach - saying it is one thing, implementing is entirely different. I hope he is ruthless, even with a club legend.

 

[mr ashley]

That’s two points dropped and no mistake.

Also sadly just highlights the concerns about not signing Neto and Eze because rightly they were identified as players who would push Son and Maddison when their levels dropped (and they did, again). Hopefully odobert will be better than Werner

on a positive note, it does look like bergvall won’t take long to establish himself in the team. Will get a good look at gray at cdm against Everton you’d think too, now that Bentancur is iniured

 

[Finchyid]

This thread is fun!

 

[Tyler24durden]

Son and Johnson completely ineffective the entire game.

Brennan Johnson has no excuse other than whoever signed him should be sacked. Absolute garbage.

Son is a legend of the club but he seems to have lost pace and I hate to see him struggling.

Gray and Lucas B looked really good

Kulu should be starting.

We need bakayoko For rw, Ederson for dm, a lcb/lb and if we want to win something offload richy for Gyokeres.

otherwise this is a 6th/7th place finish this year.
