Match Threads Spurs vs Leicester City - Match Thread

[yiddopaul]

How quickly things can change in football... Last year we had the best defense in Europe. We were known for our attacking flair... The contrast is astounding. I suppose we could argue we've hade a lot more injuries to key players more than our rival teams?

Why have we been so poor recently? Why is Sissoko starting? Why do we play with no energy? So frustrating

People suggested at the start of the season that playing at Wembley for an entire season could leave the players burnt out by the end of the season. It could just be a coincidence of course.

drop eriksen back to center mid and get moura on

 

[Donki]

If we lose this game it will sum us up pretty well, que the people saying “top four” blah blah shite.

The bell ends on my commentary have spent 5 mins discussing how we would need to qualify for the group stages of the CL with 4th. Why do these people know f all?

It's so infuriating. I tweeted PL's account to point it out, as have about 100 others. Surely they have a way of relaying it to the commentator.

 

[Metalhead]

That dreaded score line 1-2.

Honestly I don't get why when we need a win to secure a position or passage we just mess up.

How very convenient Liverpool winning 2-0

Not a massive surprise considering the opposition.

 

[shelfboy68]

We do seem to shit ourselves as soon as they break through the midfield which is offering nothing.

 

[Matrix]

Would have loved to finish above the dippers yet again. Still hope.
What’s the money difference between 3rd and 4th?

Odds on no subs from Poch until 75 mins ?

Vardy has run Toby and Dier ragged.

Seems bizarre to pair a not match fit Toby and a Slow Dier against, Vardy, Mahrez and the other quick one whose name escapes me

 

[LeSoupeKitchen]

Our players should be motivated to finish above Liverpool.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

I don't think Poch really cares where we finish to be honest. If he did he'd field our strongest line up possible.

 

[Gassin's finest]

Leicester have had a man free through the middle nearly the whole half. There is some serious lack of communication and understanding in the centre, which I can only imagine is partly down to the last minute rejig we had to do.

 

[StevePil]

The midfield again is just so predictable and slow in moving the ball. I'd move Eriksen back in there for the second half and replace Sissokko with Dele, but only because there is no alternative at CM. How can anyone not see that this is by far our biggest area for concern as far as the Summer window is concerned.

Fully agree, lets hope Poch and Levy agree too.

We need min 2 x CM this summer, and top CM not kids or back up players

Gray, who's been very impressive on the counter for them. Given KWP a rough ride.

Evens
Edit - fuck that 1-250

Eh? Moura started.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Got here late missed all the goals. Struck by the poor movement off the ball. Once again Poch’s logic seems odd to me. Why against a speedy breaker like Vardy would you drop Sanchez and play Alderweireld ?

 

[SdB]

Seems not having a working stream in the 1st half was a blessing.
Hopefully 2nd half will be better but this team is probably now showing what we can expect next year. Too many average players and nowhere near enough pace and urgency.
