Tottenham Vs Leicester: Match Thread

[yiddopaul]

Maybe. Just maybe. Arsenal will come to play football. And maybe. Just maybe. That will suit our style of play. Not. A bunch of Sunday league cloggers. Content to sit behind the ball and not lose. Yes we're in a bit of a slump goal wise. But clearly we have goals in us. People just need to relax.

I agree in part. The league is divided into the teams that can play football, and then there's those (the majority) who can't and sit back and defend. Problem for us is it's easy to do against us. That's all the instructions they need...just park the bus. We still haven't figured out how to get past that. A problem we've had for a few years.
It's odd as we clearly have incredible footballers.

Thing is at the moment we are so predictable. We have absolutely zero pace so any goal we do score has to be the "perfect goal" or a gimme. Still cant believe that it took him until the 80th minute to make a change when it was obvious that we needed to do something differently. The only reason I can think of is that he's looking at the bench and thinking what a crock of shit and to be honest id agree with him (although hold him partially responsible for that).

 

[Sweetsman]

What is your point?

My point is that you don't have one and have to resort to that sort of shot. Comprennez?

 

[ardiles]

GReat.

He was red hot before the injury

Kane's season normally starts in November and this time he'd have had a proper rest which
he didn't have the last two seasons. He should be fresh and eager to start scoring again.

We just can't punish teams , no conviction what so ever , We barely force the keeper to even make a save no testing the keeper. We should be playing son alongside Vincent in a game like that.

I do feel we got Leicester at the time where they had a bit more confidence but nonetheless we need to win at least one of our next three .

 

[cheeseman]

lol people saying others are kneejerking or acting like spoilt children because they are pointing out the obvious, seems some of our fanbase are still happy to settle for mediocrity.

Not whining like a bitch over a few draws is not settling for mediocrity , you whining little bitch.

 

[Sweetsman]

some people are obviously happy because we aren't as shit now as we were in the 90's (fuck were we bad at times then) but this team is probably more frustrating now, the lack of excitement of this current team is the thing i find the worst.

The team are being built to challenge for the top, not to worry about whether the likes of you get excited. To have written what you did just beggars belief.

 

[ljinko888]

We're making it look so hard to attack. There's no flow in our moves and the players look tepid.

It's the opposite of Liverpool this season.

It's the opposite of us last season where we played some lovely football sweeping away sides.

But I do have a point. Who are you to say I don't have one? Are you the post police?

wow do you really see that side winning anything?? fuck me we are more toothless and organised offensively than we were under redknapp. glad you think we are building but i really don't see any progression. poch only knows about defending.

My picture wasn't very crisp. Was Musa just time-wasting after equalising? I couldn't see any contact.

Yeah. Need to take a lesson from arsenal in how to break down the shit teams, whether we like it or not.

Seemed to twist his knee a bit when landing and then lost his footing when he got caught in the net. Probably made it look worse than it was though.

 

[stevensthfc]

Yeah. Need to take a lesson from arsenal in how to break down the shit teams, whether we like it or not.

They have much better technical players.

 

[YiddoJames]

On way home from game. on the plus side , Dembele was brilliant and looks like he's getting back to lat season form

 

[Dzejkob]

Draw, conceded goal after individual error, slow and predicitble in attack, unlucky striker who only scores from penaltys. I think I saw this before... Andre, is that you?

 

[cheeseman]

Yeah. Need to take a lesson from arsenal in how to break down the shit teams, whether we like it or not.

Yeah , they really tore into Middlesbrough (who we beat) last week .

 

[yiddopaul]

They have much better technical players.

No. Sorry. We have gifted players that are just not performing at the moment.

 

[mpickard2087]

Also today was my breaking point... What is up these days with the TV channels and those who produce and direct the game? Whether I watch by legal or, umm, other methods I don't want to fucking see random close ups of the players, managers, the ref, fans, owners and their posse, former owners, a million shots of cranes, then all the replays... I want to watch the fucking game.

For years this didn't seem a problem. yeah you'd get a very quick close up or replay at the appropriate moment, but as soon as the ball is back in play instantly back to the match and you miss nothing of it. The last few years though they seem to think it's acceptable to miss whole passages of play for these random images. Seriously what is the thought process with it? Who are they trying to cater for?

Just fuck off with it all. Show the match!

 

[THFC_SWE]

Poch need to step it up. No coaching during the match and late substitutions (again). What's the point in making two substitutions in the last 10 minutes? For once, make a change in after 55-60 minutes when players are not performing well enough. The players have responsibility to perform, but the manager have the responsibility to subsitute a player that is playing bad.

The problem we had today: Dembele and Wanyama were to slow in the build up play. It takes to long for them to do something with the ball and to often the ball goes sideways. Winks tried to be more direct when he came on. I would like to see him in the starting eleven soon (maybe not against the goons, but soon). He is not a better footballer than Wanyama or Dembele, but he has the qualities that we are missing (my opinion). Second, Eriksen or Son should have been substituted. They were invisible today. It's not easy for Janssen (did well today) to score goals when two of our offensive players goes awol.
