Tottenham Vs Leicester (EPL): Match Thread

[thebenjamin]

I really think we need to find a way to get Son out there and scoring. We desperately need another source of goals on the pitch. Problem is I don't know how and who you bench for him.

Quite agree. Just not enough goal threat from Eriksen and Lamela. Both good but it's all a bit nice and in front of teams. We are crying out for a proper wide forward with blistering pace who beats people and scores goals.

Simply not enough goals in the team, playing well and not wining is becoming a bit of an epidemic.

1 point ahead of injury hit West Ham, suddenly this looks an awful lot like a pretty average season.

It`s the managers job to have a plan and as usual we played our game regardless of what Leicester was doing... I am concerned we don`t seem to adjust tactics during the game to counter successes the opposition is having.

what would you have done instead?

 

[Phomesy]

Still waiting for someone to name the amazing, available and affordable striker Levy's supposed to sign.

We all agree we need a striker. Is Berahino the answer?

That's something for the end of the season: nothing is decided now. Trying to maintain fourth is how you lose it.

i can see where your coming from but we need to be realistic, just win as many games as we can obv but enough of this title talk, all on levy now, i dont blame poch whatever happens if we dont sign a striker.

We fuck ourselves over yet again.

Missed chances (Kane, Lamela) and a stupid corner needlessly given away (Alli) that led to a goal where our CB (Toby) takes out our DM in the box...

All the calls for Dembele to start... Did he actually touch the ball in his time on the pitch?

Of all the subs only Onomah seemed to do anything and he had about 5 minutes.

The games already formed by then. Dembele is not an impact sub really. He's the type to set the tone. Poor, poor, poor. Couldn't dominate the game with that starting midfield and didn't have any guile or quality in the final third. Didn't deserve to lose but didn't do enough to win

POOCH OUT

I hate hashtags. I read that as Sig nafucking strike rlevy

What the fuck does that even mean? Let's have an immediate return to punctuation and spacing!

I suggest that you teach the incorrect use of "of", eg should of. Also, loosing does not mean losing, although some people think that letting Carroll loose from the club would stop us losing.

Totally. Poch looked nervous all game so he knew something wasnt right. Managers have off days too.

Yeesh. Terrible result for us. I'm a sad panda.

Well, why don't you go and find Mrs Panda and bang her senseless.

No I don't think he is.

 

[spursfan77]

We need another striker. It's actually beyond a joke now. Almost like the club are trolling us.

We are just so blunt in attack.

It's so depressing.

 

[Sweetsman]

Here is the problem... we are a good football side but kinda predictable.. we played well for 20 mins Leicester weathered the storm then it was ping pong. We tactically have no plan B and we have no game changers off the bench!!

What the fuck is this fabled Plan B apart from a meaningless phrase that gets trotted out every time we don't win?

 

[nedley]

I wasn't there and I may be wrong but it sounded like the fans had a stinker tonight?

@Romulus

Am I wrong?

Seemed to be the general consensus on here and it sounded flat on the TV?

So another striker means Kane wouldn't have played right? Up top wasn't the problem, he barley had a sniff. It's the players round him who don't create certainly score enough

 

[THFC 1882]

We have hit the wall, we must go back to basic
Alli down i central mid with Dier
Eriksen behind Kane

And Levy out on the market and use some money on a striker!!

Not scoring doesn't mean that we are blunt in attack. We had twenty shots on goal and tend to be accurate in comparison to other teams.

Apart from the away fixture at Swansea, Eriksen has been a let down this season. In fact, he has been poor for the majority of 2015. We need more from him that the odd free kick wonder. Would like to see Chadli or Son play instead of Eriksen against Sunderland.

Hopefully Mason gets back into the team soon enough. I think he is better suited to teams that sit back deep against us as he plays with a fair bit of urgency and creates chances due to his hard work and guile.

Positives- At least you are not this guy:

Ppl can see now Dier isnt a midfield player. Should be playing at RB, Capoue in midfield, Townsend on the left . Eriksen no10. So annoyed

#568Seats ‏@Hallowed_Turf_ 1h1 hour ago
GET LAMELA OUT OF THIS TEAM . Utter waste ... Son £22m's nothing to offer. Newcastle , Leicester x2, Stoke, Everton etc WHL the fortress

Agree, Mason is a big miss for us against teams that sit at WHL.
