Match Threads Spurs vs Leicester - Match Thread - Day 14

[yankspurs]

Help us Gareth Bale. You’re our only hope.

I freely admit many on here understand tactics better than me, so - genuine me question - can someone please explain what we're trying to do in possession, other than break? I just don't get it.

i dont think the players do either

 

[ernie78]

How far behind is my sky go app if you all can see bale on??

 

[Johnny J]

Come on Gareth!!

He is coming on.

 

[Yid-ol]

It is a penalty these days

It clearly isn't, arm is in by his chest, it's only if the arm is out of that position it's a penalty.

 

[shoggy33]

It's like our players spend so much time running around without the ball that they have have no idea what to do when they actually get it. They seem to find it so hard to pass each other.

I'm actually really intrigued to see what Mou does for this second half. How long was it since we went in to a second half losing the match? I can't remember. It's a make it or break it situation for how this Spurs team play.

Ermmm we weee losing to Southampton i think

 

[Timberwolf]

There will always be halves like this under Mourinho. I think you just have to accept that.

Let's not throw our toys out of them pram and start crowing "Jose out" just yet. We've got 45 mins to turn this around.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Ndombele taken off. I can’t be fucked anymore.

 

[yankspurs]

For Ndombele?!?!?!?!? Oh fuck off Mourinho. Enough with your hatred of Ndombele. Ridiculous. Tired of your shit with him. Clearly our best player here. Fucking idiot.

 

[crokey]

Leicester literally sit back and pump balls into space for Vardy and Barnes to counter attack with.

Therefore why the fuck are we sitting back waiting for them to make a mistake?

We’re boring and predictable. It’s taken teams a month to work us out.

This is why Jose is outdated and Brendan Rodgers is world class. No other manager could set their team out with the strategy of having their centre half stand in the corner of the 18 yard box with the plan of Aurier rugby tackling him. A true tactical genius.

 

[paulcumpstone]

Leicester are doing well pressing and crowding us when we get possession in the middle. It is not allowing us to turn and break. Shocking that more teams don’t do it against us quite frankly.

they can easily double up on us because we have so many players behind play

 

[chrissivad]

How far behind is my sky go app if you all can see bale on??

If your using the sky Go app, then a few minutes...

 

[Timberwolf]

Ndombele taken off. I can’t be fucked anymore.

Oh ffs. What's he on?

Ndombele was clearly our best player first half - was at the heart of all of our best moves.

 

[king26]

bloody mourinho tactics good job is no fans after watching that they would of gone home

 

[dagraham]

Where is this coming from? One header from a set piece? Can we stop making out the other team is deserving of their lead because we have been poor in possession and not taken at least the one chance we created?

Leicester have been as bang average as us.

They’ve not created a lot, but they look much sharper than us and are first to the majority of 2nd balls.

 

[bloodzeed]

Come on bale

 

[ernie78]

Ermmm we weee losing to Southampton i think

1-1 at half time

 

[ackie]

Calm down. Its half time and we are losing lets wait until the second half

 

[bubble07]

Bale time
