Match Threads Spurs vs Leicester - Match Thread

[Gareth88]

Was thinking that but it will just further weaken our right side which has been Leicester's best play

Just watching Skipp watch the game go past seems like we might want to try something else

Average fouls against Leicester and us this seasons is about 10 each per game. So today's first half is highly unusual.

Need to change it up imo to not concede. Its going to be far to tense.

I don't know what everyone is watching but Winks has been excellent in his role, tracking back, controlling the pace of play, nicking the ball away, even with some defense splitting passes, though we did nothing with them.

Erisksen when given the chance has done well. Leicester are making a living beating us down our right side, which is neither Winks or Skipps fault.

Poch needs to take a fine and give the ref both barrels after this, all the other managers do it.. The scousers got one of the most hilariously offside goals in years the other day and gnashers still had a pop at the ref afterwards. Lo and behold yet another offside goal to see them on their way yesterday.

I know Poch likes to take the high road but...

 

[ajspurs]

Trippier was so slow to track that overlapping run there, dangerous situation.

 

[dagraham]

It’s just too easy for them to get in behind our defence.

It's frustrating because over the past few years we have generally dominated teams like this. Nowadays we are relying on bit part players and scraping wins. Poch is working miracles tbh, but it simply isn't sustainable, the lack of any investment in the squad is a tually ridiculous.

 

[tooey]

But you seem to go out of your way to stand up for just Trippier like your his guardian or something.

never see the same level of commitment with any other players...

It's getting to Calvin Klein levels now (obsession )

I like that you want to stand up for the guy, but ease up a bit.

In fairness the Trippier isn't good enough bandwagon only set off once he'd gained popularity in the masses through his England performances. Some spurs fans decided to give him unnecessary flack because they don't like it when one of our players is liked by the masses.

 

[Sevens]

To ask a daft question like that you obviously do not know Tielemans

Who do you think he'd replace in the strongest Spurs starting XI?

 

[Cavehillspur]

Good move

 

[am_yisrael_chai]

All Leicester’s attacks are down Trippier’s side

 

[Hazelton]

Dude.....I'm lost for words

...... why?

 

[ikky]

Too many balls inside trippier is a worry

 

[jonnyp]

So easy to play past Trippier

 

[Bulletspur]

Llorente is good on getting the high balls but shit at directing it effectively

 

[Blue]

we need some changes

 

[ajspurs]

Honestly I just hope we survive until the time that Poch deems acceptable to make a change.

 

[SpursD22]

It’s just too easy for them to get in behind our defence.

Because of Trippier foremost and also because they have fast players and we play with a high line

Just watching Skipp watch the game go past seems like we might want to try something else

So I keep reading this. Is anyone actually watching Skipp's positioning when we don't have the ball?! Or some of the runs he is making taking Leicester players away and making room for others? Or his covering of Rose when Rose gets forward?

Skipp is doing a job. It's not a glamorous job.
