Leicester Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[KenTHFC]

Honestly I don't blame Poch for this boring football, but I do think he needs to create a different style for when we're up against buses like this.

 

[glacierSpurs]

We lacked a leader so much it is not funny anymore.. Imagine we used to have a Parker or Davids barking at those stupid back passes and not running into pocket of holes.. Ridiculously boring and clueless..

I don't see how anyone could look at this squad and think we can cope with 4 competitions, trying to play a high press style and meet expectations of a top 5 finish. There has been too much culling of the squad and nowhere near enough signing of quality.

Our transfer strategy poses an existential threat to Pochettino's tenure in charge at Spurs. We've been just as ponderous and slow in the market as we have playing the ball forward today. We've signed 3 players in Wimmer, Trippier, and N'Jie who have so little experience, that they almost certainly won't displace current starters. What happened to "sign only players that improve our first XI?"

This is the strongest Prem in history. The era of net spending=doing a Leeds is finished. Leicester, with their small turnover, have engaged in 40 million pounds of net spending since last summer.

shocking 1/2.

Must do better.

 

[Gbspurs]

*waits for the inevitable blaming of Lamela*

He is proper shit though isn't he?! All those people complaining about Eriksen and wishing for us to bench him are currently clenching their buttcheeks hoping we don't sell him.

 

[Hazelton]

Trippier for Walker and Alli for Dier, please.

No chance of that happening, though.

 

[mark87]

How we played so far?

 

[mpickard2087]

Competent at keep ball. Pretty non-existent in the final third. We need to take the handbrake off, up the tempo and generally just try something when we get in and around their box. I'd strongly consider bringing Carroll on, if only because he will look to buzz around and play quick give and go's and inject some speed into proceedings.

 

[Drink!Drink!]

So flat, so placid

What happened to. To dare is to do

 

[Hercules]

Who is asking for Bentaleb? What difference will he make aside from giving the ball away? Alli I would prefer, but uninspiring bench tbf.

 

[Joeyboey]

I'm sorry but why we haven't thrown Clint in at the deep end I don't know?!

His impact from the bench could turn this game but his integration is way too conservative for my liking. Watch Pedro at least make the bench for Chelsea tomorrow. We signed Clint a week ago FFS!

Frustrating! No support for Kane whatsoever aaaarrrrggggghhhhh

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

its hard to play this swashbuckling style Poch wants

And how do we know he wants it?

 

[nidge]

Top 10 pass combinations in the first half.

 

[Tonio]

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.

Its a little bit his fault

 

[Berbatonghen]

I'm trying to find positives from this first half. None whatsoever.

Our game is so predictable and slow. Even our passing has no intent. Eventually after about 400 passes we've made you kind of get the inevitable feeling we will end up losing the ball by a mistake... Which I've seen happen about 5 times.

Very frustrating to watch and sad to be honest.

Would really like to see Alli on and even tripper.

Desperately need to show more intent in our game and pass the ball quicker.

 

[belsunz]

Not singling out any our players but our midfield is lacking in so many areas. Unbelievable really.

 

[TheVoiceofReason]

Our best fullbacks are on the bench. Davies and Chadli partnership is like watching Dulux drying in beige. We need Durex dripping in vag. This is so dry.

Dier in midfield is a big niche niche for me, we need Alli on.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

Calm down dear - you on your monthly...?

At least i have a fucking excuse...what's Poch's?

Hemeroids?

 

[Sweetsman]

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.

Some muppets think you get extra points for artistic impression!

 

[paulcumpstone]

Vertonghen is a little bit shit isn't he?!

nowhere near the player he thinks he is
