Match Threads Leicester Vs Spurs

[haslemereyid]

Kane will hardly touch the ball tonight - we will be completely reliant on Lucas in transition to get us forward - not Contes fault - its all he has got to work with …

 

[Ginola+Tonic]

Interesting line up that
Hard to see what Contes plan is here, maybe keep it tight until the later stages and bring more attackers on?

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Can’t see much maybe a draw totally uninspiring team and squad We have.

I'd bite you hand off - if you offered 2 points between tonight and Sunday.

This is not Tottenham , the DNA levy spoke about has been lost . I’m sure Conte is a very good manager but I can’t watch this team anymore with any excitement, it’s George Graham football . Where’s the creativity and spark , it’s just 9 workhorses and 2 strikers . Play Gill ffs and give the opposition something to think about , I look at the line up and I just think caraboa cup away to a league 1 team .

Agree completely. I have been saying this for many years and more fervently since Conte took over. But it’s cloggers football. Maybe he thinks the defence is too weak to play flair players, that’s what I’m hoping. And once we sign more defenders we can sign flair players and play them. Another part of me sees us going for another workhorse in Traore and I feel this may be the type of player he wants.

Here's something to calm you all down

 

[hughy]

Who takes set pieces there

Kane. Rolling back the years, serious Euro 2016 vibes.

I’m not saying the sky is falling as many in matchday threads do. Conte is doing the best he can with what he’s got the only change I would make is Lo Celso into the midfield. And that’s only cuz he’s the closest thing we’ve got to a creative mid right now

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

I can't see why he'd use this game to change formation. Perhaps he'll ask Winks to play further forward?

 

[mrlilywhite]

Feel sorry for Conte, he’s crying out for help with the tools he has available.

The silence doesn’t bode well for this window.

New manager & same old problems they face (the lack of quality in the squad)

Sick to the back teeth of ENIC and the excuse wagon - pray for the day they finally sell up (wishful thinking, I know - but I'll clutch on to any glimmer of hope right now).

Weird mindset that ??‍

 

[Barrd10]

It’s a 7:30 kickoff so I’ll can get to bed early. Just seen the team. I’ve got the beers ready. So I’m all set. Watch the game at home, have a little cry and then to bed.

 

[pablo73]

I'm actually happier with that formation than the 3-4-3 we've been playing, should in theory have a bit more control of midfield and more space for Kane & Lucas.

Some of the personnel leave a lot to be desired but not much Conte can do about that.

 

[adamsky]

Is one thing to play with that midfield 3 if the full backs offer a threat, but ours are so wasteful it is untrue. This isn’t going to be pretty but hopefully we can get the result.

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

Looking at the benches I would say that they could have a say in proceedings.

Yep, every chance they'll make a sub at some point.

 

[Russ1201]

Glad harvay Barnes isn't starting he could cause problems. Concerned about the pace and trickery of Daka and lookman. On the brightside might get few opportunities with their defence if we get out of our halve to attack ?

 

[phillipjpalmer]

Horrible team, tbf to winks, he has played a few half decent forward passes when he has played recently.

 

[chinaman]

Want to see Scarlett if we race to a 3-0 lead.

We’ll get nothing at Chelsea so this is big game. Just can’t see us creating anything with only Kane and Lucas

 

[Trent Crimm]

Who’s the treacle on BT Sport (not savage)

Come on. If you've seen anything of Juventus, Inter, Italy or Chelsea under Conte you'd know he absolutely doesn't play "cloggers football".

He's doing the best he can with the squad he's been given.

And Traore isn't a "workhorse" any more than Saint-Maximin is.
