Match Threads Spurs vs Leicester - Match Thread

[Jaddas]

Got out of jail today but deserved since we were playing against 12 men with ref giving everything to them. Opposite of our game against Man Utd a few weeks ago.

Thought Lloris won us the game today with that penalty save. Eriksen scored and assisted and Sissoko also did well but Skipp looked lost. Wanyama looks a shadow of the player who was brilliant in his 1st season.

Tielemans looks a player and hopefully Poch noticed. Not sure if he is available for a permanent transfer though.

I ain't so sure that's an achievement mate

He questioned my geographic knowledge and I told him. I couldn't pronounce your name for love nor money though. Is it Sharon?

To be honest I think he massively got away with it today. Thought he watched us performing poorly without changing anything for way to long.

It was like the reverse of the United game for us, on another day we could have lost that 3 or 4-1.

You do know we scored 3 goals right?

Think he was trying to juggle this game with the Dortmund one. Problem is we dont have enough players to rotate.

Got away with one today, but there are games like UTD we should have won so it equals out. Sanchez, winks and sissoko had good games though. Trippier still on the fast track to being put on the transfer list this summer.

Oliver was a disgrace. A absolutely shocking refereeing performance.

 

[Seafordian Spurs]

You got to give it to Poch. He shows some faith in our young players. Again today starting Skipp and bringing on KWP when Leicester were looking an equaliser.

He likes to do that. Ego and power play at work as well as indelible faith in youth. Love the big man!

Is tielemans a loan with obligation to buy?

Worse display I have ever seen from Oliver. Terrible.

Loan only.

No deal to buy.

This is all true but if we'd lost all the games we didn't deserve to win and won all the games we didn't deserve to lose this season... I reckon we'd be right where we are. So it all evens out in the end.

The only game we lost but deserved to win was Man Ure at home! We've been lucky to win a few this season, so I have to disagree.

No I must have missed that....

Yeah most likely so, still think even in those last 10-15 minutes Lucas could have gotten a run out for instance and it could have potentially made a massive difference.

Actually makes you realise how good United's squad really is now that the majority of the team are performing, when you look at the changes they made over the weekend.

Good

If manure can stuff liverpool, and we beat burnley then we've got another battle of the bridge on our hands again. I hope they respond better this time around. Its a crucial crunch game now. We could be a couple of points behind pool going into that match.

In that Bridge game we went two-nil up and a whisker away from a Son third. It was only the constant shithousing by Chelsea unpunished by the ref that got Chelsea back into that game. Which they drew.

We handled ourselves okay that day

Great result today, the team showed real character again, there's no doubting the fact that this was always going to be tough and Leicester were dangerous and if they had more composure in front of goal who knows what the result could have been. That said I though the worst performer by far on the park today was the ref. Michael Oliver is supposed to be one of the best referees we've got in this country but not on the evidence of today's showing. He seemed to be doing his level best all game to give Leicester the best shot at getting something out of this game. I hope he sees both those penalty incidents on playback and realises he's had a shocker today.
Another 3 points and everyone is putting a real shift in against all the adversity we have had to cope with. COYS!

Son for Golden Boot?

Stranger things have happened..

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Feel really sorry for Leicester fans. That’s two cup finals they’ve lost this season

Son for Golden Boot?

Stranger things have happened..

How many is he on now?

 

[Roy's Racers]

Absolutely, Oliver would never makes those types of decision at Old Trafford, Anfield or even the Eithiad against the home team.

True, but United have no major injuries either. We could've had Kane, Dier, Alli, Lucas, Davies on the bench today in addition to the ones that started the game.
