Match Threads Leicester vs Spurs

[Kirito]

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.

Yeah Romero nearly played Spence into trouble at the end as well. Passed the ball to Lucas where he had nowhere to go and two Leicester players closing him down.

Maddison looked much more like we expect so that’s a positive.

 

[dirtyh]

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.

could have saved yourself a few words there........

 

[Jamturk]

The worry is werner and Johnson is

Werner is better than Son on the left.

But how do you drop Sonny?

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Sorry what?

Can you not read between the lines?

We have not signed any top class players that have improved our first team.

 

[Cavehillspur]

Thank fuck Vardy didn't put his other chance away, which he should have or we'd be analysing how we lost that.

 

[HW61]

Embarrassing, that Leicester team are horrible and will finish bottom.

All this money spent and we seem no better than the end of last season.

Can’t really say we’re no better. Shit awful second half. World Cup winner CB went AWOL, and left their only geriatric striker on his own.

We have a raft of younger talent and got rid of deadwood.

We are and will be better. The young talent will hopefully prove that. Just needs more games than this.

£48m for Johnson is fucking criminal.

It is, sadly that price is why he got to start tonight and we to win games we have to start our best players. He's a good squad player and will pick up plenty of assists but this system can't flourish when wide players can't dribble. Our wings and midfield are not top level.

 

[WiganSpur]

Now I really want a billionaire who just wants us to succeed. Fuck this. I'm so fucking tired. Please God, make me plastic.

It’s becoming less and less on Levy by the day. We should be doing better with these players.

 

[greaves]

Two points thrown away. We have to be more ruthless. You can’t dominate and create so many chances as we did in the first half and only have one goal.
Nevertheless despite that we dropped 2 points because Romero didn’t do his job. He’s a CB and his job is to stop their goalscorers scoring. He didn’t do that . He inexplicably walked away and left Vardy unmarked in the 6 yard box.
To be honest a part of me is not surprised. I’ve being saying for years that modern defenders do not know the art of defending. It seems intuitive to me that if you’re a CB you pick up the opposition’s strikers when the the ball is in or near the box. Unfortunately nowadays defenders are taught to mark space(zones) so time and time again you see strikers standing all alone e in the box without a defender within 5/10 yards of them.

Pythonesque. Reminds me of the philosophers’ match.

 

[Guntz]

Big pressure on Ange this season with the amount of money spent.

I think he'll get time, but you never know with DL.

He will be expecting champions league football.

 

[theShiznit]

Odobert should be looking at Son tonight and thinking that's my spot for the taking.

 

[Jamturk]

Far too many over reactions in here, yes it was disappointing, but on the whole, we played well. Need to cut out errors at the back, but 99 times out of 100 we win this game. We have a good young squad & it will all look a whole lot better when we beat Everton.

I disagree, we need to put the ball in the net, we should have had 4 or 5 today.

Piss poor finishing.

 

[DiamondLites]

Jamie Vardy looks like he should be looting a Greggs

 

[überghost]

Defensive problems?

They had one shot, a good chance.

We had plenty. Why do we always try walking the ball into the net. When we had son and kane the number of goals outside the area was plenty.
We are too predictable when attacking, no threat from outside the area.

It's all cut backs and runners in the box. Look at our players, that's not what they're suited to.

 

[kernowspurscoach1977]

On 2nd 1/2 I thought udogies limited pre season showed and I would have dragusin for him and put vdv over, he tired and gave free kicks away and possession regularly. He was class in first 1/2.

 

[Garbob]

leadership group were just poor. Romero sleep walking for the goal, son had no fight when the game got tough and Maddison went off the rails in the second half. Adding to this Vic having a full on go at bergvall was just out of order

 

[Ruffinthepuffin]

What is it with our fucking club, something bad happens on the pitch like Leicester score and we wilt. Same old same old

Yep, no matter who our coaches and managers are, no matter who the players are our mentality is dreadful.

 

[Pochemon94]

Maddison first half vs second half was startling. Just when I thought he was back
