Leicester Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[thebenjamin]

Has Walker lost pace?

He has the first minus 5 yards in his head

 

[Damian99]

Id really like to see Trippier given 45 mins

Poch could walk in on Walker, rooted up his wife from behind while she's reaching through squeezing his balls and not drop him the following week.

 

[KenTHFC]

For everyone complaining about the stale football, I agree but its hard to play this swashbuckling style Poch wants when the team is so slow and Leicester are putting 11 in their half for the whole match.

 

[felmani26]

If Poch is going to stick the script and continue to make like-for-like changes only then by the love of Christ, take off Walker and Dier and put on Trippier and Bentaleb.

 

[roslau]

I've said after the MUgame. Dier is useful as DM when vs top 4 teams away from home. Now we are playing fucking leicester !! Fucking stubborn Poch

Play Alli , Carroll and Rose ffs

 

[thebenjamin]

he has to make changes.

 

[TropicalYid]

My god were boring to watch.
My god were slow.
Cant really see what poch is trying to implement.

Demebe good today.
Painful to watch lamela. Would like to see Alli in for Erik.


Starting to wonder about our transfers. We shifted on several players and bought a few, but were still the same team, bar Toby. I just dont get it.

"I would love to know how many touches Harry Kane has had.

Exactly. Anyone thinking of suggesting that Kane had lost something just needs to look at that. We never give him the ball in a half decent spot. He is constantly making runs with no support.

I must be watching a different match to everyone else. I only been watching from the 20th minute but 95% of it has been played in Leicester half. They hit us the odd couple of times on the counter attack.

I don't get the slow talk either, unless because i'm watching it on a small screen, but the general pressing and tempo has been decent. I don't think we have been too bad to be honest... Been a pretty competitive game.

 

[midspur]

Diabolical. That's one of the most boring 45 minutes I have ever watched.

That's the idea, bore into submission

 

[Damian99]

Boy do we fucking hum.

 

[CowInAComa]

Bit shit, but in this heat all the possession may well pay off as they tire second half.

Considering everyone put them down as massive favourites before the game not sure why the toys are being thrown after we've comfortably held them for 45min.

 

[Dirty Ewok]

This will be the easiest half-time talk Poch ever has to do..

"Alright lads, good effort. 0-0 we are still in the match. But when we go out for the second half i want us to try something. Now it is going to sound a little risky but.....When in attack.....do the exact opposite of everything you did in the first half. Ok....So if you normally would stand around...move. Or if you were going to just pass the ball to nobody out of bounds...try passing it to someone....or if you are standing directly next to someone else on the squad, well one or both of you move.....lets just give that a try. Now everyone get a drink."

 

[easley91]

Someone explain to me why Kane is being jeered by the home crowd? He was only there on loan, unless it's just because he's the new top youngster and it's funny to watch him miss?

 

[CosmicHotspur]

72% possession, two shots both on target, none on target for Leicester and yet we look the poorer side in so many ways, I really hope we can do better in the second half.

 

[Monkey boy]

We have to be one of the most boring teams in the premier league. We simply have no idea of how to create a chance.

 

[theShiznit]

If Dembele could pass he wouldn't be at Spurs.

As for the game same shit from the usual suspects too many touches and fear/indecision leading to wrong decisions.

 

[Mustard]

It does make me laugh how Walker gets the most stick. He is an attacking rb in a team that is defensive.

Us being shit is not his fault.

 

[cozzo]

*waits for the inevitable blaming of Lamela*

We would but he ain't playing

 

[WiganSpur]

To be fair to him Walker tries but he's just so hopelessly limited in possession. We're crying out for some quality delivery out wide and some runners in behind, what the fuck was Pochettino doing leaving Njie out?

Kane's had a shocker as well, nothing is sticking to him.

We're just easy to play against. Keep very narrow, stop the trio and Kane, force us out wide where we have zero quality and deal with the wasted balls in. Without Trippier and runners in behind we're just so one dimensional, the only way we can score is through intricate passing through the middle and when we're stopped from doing that we don't have the players to switch things up.
