Leicester Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[Hazardousman]

I'm not normally one to get bothered by Sky's obsession with selling off our team, but this pissed me right off.

I love Poch's dignified approach, but at times I'd love him to just tell them to fuck off ( in manager speak terms, not literally - although that would be funny ).

Can you imagine Ferguson's reaction to a similar line of questioning? They'd ask him once and not dare again.

That's the one area I think Poch needs to improve and learn from someone like Ferguson, we all know Poch has some serious bollocks with the players behind the scenes, he needs to show that to the media when they keep repeating the same questions over and over.

Three players scoring 20+ goals in a season and not winning anything is ridiculous! Absolutely amazing...

 

[Hazardousman]

By the way, anyone wanting to leave this club right now is a fucking idiot.

Anyone wanting to leave this club right now can do so, their loss as far as I am concerned, no one player is bigger than this club or this team, that's Poch's philosophy and it's the right one imo.

Martin Tyler just said "against a weakened Leicester" my fuckin arse you knob

Bloke is a grade a ****!

Someone put this about Harry on Leicesters forum:
He's still a twat. Score as many as he likes, that won't make up for his crap attitude.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I love jealousy against our team. WTF crap attitude ???

 

[Spurger King]

Interesting stats on the BBC. Kane has now scored more goals against Leicester than any other team. No wonder they hate him!

It's also the joint highest Prem defeat by a title-holding team. Jokers.

 

[Jolmaster]

Absolute masterclass!!!!
We'll fall apart mr shearer will we, no effing way !!
Dembele was particularly superb tonight
C O Y S !!!!

Think Poch should have said "are you worried about bigger fists punching you in the head" before knocking him out and screaming "and it's live!" down the camera.

Shreeves is, in the words of Silicon Valley's Erlich Bachman, a chode-gargling fuck toilet.

It's about time Sky pensioned him off. Sports commentators on TV or radio have a finite shelf-life, just like people in any other profession. He's been doing that job for more than 40 years, so he'd have no cause for complaint if they did show him the door.

Would like say well done to Sissoko, thought he had a good game today, involved in a couple of goals. Well done that man.

Well, he did almost take a throw-in perfectly. His form was impeccable. He put the ball into motion without it being a foul throw. All the elements were coming together. Then, at the last minute, the ball failed to go to any of our players. Instead, it went directly to a Leicester player. DRAT

Minus the shit pitch and weather, that would've been 10+.

He did a triffic Parkeresque pirouette one time out here, he didn't know what he was
flipping well doing.

Lesniak, whose name spellcheck has trouble with, looked a bit tasty. I think that we should be big enough to pay compliments without caveats to Sissoko. He has been poor and lacks confidence. Frankly, I was starting to get pissed off with Kane's very evident pursuit of the Golden Boot, spurning opportunities to pass to colleagues in prime positions.

I don't buy into the whole 'media bias against Spurs' conspiracy theories, but it's clear when certain individuals have a problem with us and Tyler is undoubtedly one of them. He's always extremely unenthusiastic about us when we're doing well and seems ever so slightly disappointed when we score. Shame as he is a very talented commentator.

Well that was a mauling. No Erikssen, Rose, Walker, Trippier, Winks or Lamela. Last year we would have easily lost this game 1-0 maybe 2-0 with all the absentees. We would have shut off at the end of the season. This year it was a rapefest!

Not much to say about the performance except that Poch is the key. We have a system now which any player can fit into and god help the rest of the premiership as long as he is at the helm. We are a machine like the Liverpool of old. Ruthless, committed, determined, focused etc, etc, etc,

Three 20+ goal players in one season, massive goal difference +54, unbeaten at home, golden boot winner (probably) etc, etc, etc.

I keep,hearing the Field of Dreams quote:

Is this heaven?
No, it's Tottenham!

p.s. Special mention to Lesniak. Assist and a really assured performance. Another one of our own. His positioning was superb and he is going to be fantastic.

 

[StartingPrice]

We're not even close to peaking yet. Dele will be even better next year and Kane if stays fit will likely score even more goals. Defence and central midfield is solid as and in Eriksen we've one of best playmakers in the league. We're so close. Replace Sissoko with a more suitable player and the squad is pretty much all set. We're going to be going into next season, ignore the odds, as the joint favourites.

What I kept saying last summer.
Too many were worried about everyone else. We have an exceptional young group of players. Many of them are more than a year, more than two years off being at their peak. They are improving each season just by being a year older. They are improving each season for the previous season's experience. They are improving thanks to growing awareness, thanks to esprit de corps (team spirit), thanks to growing cohesion, thanks to solidifying habit. Our great young manager is learning as he goes. This season he was working on alternative formations and versatility of formation, and we benefited from that by the end of the season. We have suffered from injuries, unlike our title rivals. Next season, hopefully, we will have some seriously good players coming back from injury. Any of Janssen, Enkidu, (Sissoko... ) will surely be better for this season. We have highly rated young players coming through in Edwards, Onomah, KWP, and CCV - Poch has name-dropped all of them as likely top get more first team minutes next season. And that is before we have even considered buying anyone. Yes, yew may lose Walker. Doubt we will lose anyone else - and whether he stays or goes, I believe we will be stronger next season

This made me laugh way more than it should have

@Cornpattbuck: re my comment about Kane, while I'm glad for him, had it been a closer match those passes that he should have made may have come back to haunt us. There was one attempt where he tried to score from within our half and Wanyama had a free run in; there were other examples. Poch was asked how Kane would have felt had he been taken off on two goals like Son, but he dodged the question. His decision was proved right as Kane scored four, and Son is clearly not as clinical a finisher; but he did score the best goal of the night.
