Match Threads Spurs vs Leicester City - Match Thread

[TEESSIDE1]

4th it is... shocking that Leicester are at the races and once again we haven’t turned up

 

[wirE]

Good mood in here, I see!

Tensions are high for the last game of the season. Hate this day

 

[lukadownthelane]

Fuck me Lamela is atrocious these days. What has happened to him? A midfield of Sissoko and Wanyama is never going to do good things is it...

 

[thinktank]

Dippers 2 up, so that's chelscum def in EL.

I'm sorry, but I think it does matter. We should always be seeking the best we can get from a season. Even if it's finishing 3rd instead of 4th. Fergie would never let his teams perform like this, even if there was not much to play for. It's having a winning mentality. We've come some way in the last 3 years, but there's still the old Spurs about us. It's a bad mindset to have, and will stop us becoming truly great.

I was reacting specifically to the Woolwich game that has no bearing for us at all. I agree that we should be winning this and finishing third, it feels much better than fourth.

they keep saying Kane needs 3, but he still won't win the gb because salad would win on tie-breaker

They would share it. Kane also won't get a hattrick in the 2nd half

How is the atmosphere at Wembley? Same as it is from most of the armchair fans here?

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

The contrast to the end of last season couldn't be greater. I wouldn't inflict watching this on my worst enemy. Sloppy, slow, they all look like they're on the beach or in their WC squads, although none of them deserve to be watching this tosh.

 

[wirE]

It won’t happen unfortunately. When does Pochettino ever make subs at half time

Never, but one can only hope

 

[Rout-Ledge]

they keep saying Kane needs 3, but he still won't win the gb because salad would win on tie-breaker

He needs four now even to level it up. No point thinking about it.

 

[Gassin's finest]

Don't understand Poch persisting with that cm pairing after it demonstrably failed on Wednesday.

Beyond that we're mostly poor across the board. Eriksen, Lucas and Hugo showing the few positives.

 

[dickieven]

I know we are losing but at least it is a more enjoyable game than the last few we have had. Both teams giving it a go.

 

[isaac94]

Hard to believe this is the same Wanyama as last season, Vardy is having a field day with Dier as well, terrible tracking

 

[nedley]

Lamela for Son at halftime Poch if you have any desire to win the game.

 

[parj]

Need some brains in midfield. When the midfield is starting to be bypassed by defence then you know you have a problem there.

Sanchez for Sissoko - move Dier into midfield
Son for Lamela
Alli for Wanyama - Eriksen into midfield, Alli behind Kane

 

[theShiznit]

Well I must be the lucky one.

Have a choice of two streams. One that plays in 5 second bursts then stops for ten seconds, or another that is playing like a flicker book in treacle. (Just got to 34 minutes)


Seems that's not as frustrating as the match though

 

[lunde1]

Not sure what happened after Juve but the team has collapsed. The football we play these days reminds me of the old Tottenham

 

[TropicalYid]

So disappointed.
Why doesnt Poch pick best team? And why cant he motivate them to get third?

Some shit defending and npn existing def midfield. Sissoko is a waste of space. Not to be seen at all. Why are we playing him at all?

This is embarrassing. Third place is for us to take and we bottle it.
Fuck this. And now we probably wont see Poch make any subs befor 83 min on top.

 

[tooey]

I sort of feel sorry for Eriksen at times. He plugs away, beats a man, weights a lovely ball to whoever, moves again to find space only to find his fellow team mate has lost the ball or played it backwards, it must be infuriating.

 

[nedley]

Vardy has run Toby and Dier ragged.

It sounded like some idiots booed at HT. Probably answers your question.

We haven't been bad with the ball (Lamela aside), but shat ourselves repeatedly whenever Leicester have it.
