Tottenham Vs Leicester (EPL): Match Thread

[spursfan77]

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

But we needed to do something to change the game. It's easy to manage teams against us because the opposition know we can't change systems at any point. We will play the same the whole game. Having another striker even sitting on the bench changes that.

You can't seriously tell me you'd be happy not to sign another goal scorer?

Just got back from the game, we should have gotten something from that and I feel a little dejected but fucking hell some of you lot are so miserable. Look at the results around us, everyone dropped points, it happens after such an intense holiday period.

 

[spursfan77]

Didn't see game. Match of the Day made it look like we battered them and then had our pants pulled down occasionally. Where was Toby on that cross?!

Hamann pointing out Eriksen as cause for concern

Eriksen needs dropping. He's a total passenger. Seems to have replaced Paulinho as the player with the least bottle and guts in the squad. He just can't grab a game by the scruff of the neck like he should be capable of.

 

[L-man]

Troll? Am I not telling the truth? When was the last time we won anything? Anyone too good for this club will move because they know this club is one full of losers.

Jesus, grow up.

Go support someone else if our lack of trophies is such an inconvenience for you

 

[spursfan77]

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.

It's been the same the whole season though. Every game I've been to this season at whl where we haven't won could possibly have been different had we another striking option.

'We are failures and forever will be'

Really mate? We have a history with titles and trophies, we are in a great position relatively speaking and we also have a really bright future ahead of us. Building a winning side takes time and patience, suck it up and occupy your time in some other way if it affects you so badly when we lose our third game of the season in January

Not sure why Jari hasn't been banned yet. Obvious troll is obvious

One can never feel happy about dropping three points at home but I'd rather drop them against Leicester than anyone else .

Arsenal look like the best team in the country but Leicester look as good as Man City which is quite an achievement .

Leicester have arrested their slide and got back into winning ways . Man City and Arsenal are likely to falter , let's hope they take longer about rectifying it than Leicester have .

Been saying that for weeks. People sitting around me at Spurs think I'm mad. Just look at his free kick today. All lined up in a dangerous position and he hits defenders shins!!!! I can understand shoulder or head but how the fuck is he hitting the ball below knee level.

But tonight's games just summed up Kyle Walker. Thickkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!

 

[markiespurs]

Just back from the game and can't believe we did'nt pick up all three points tonight, we were by far the better side over 90 minutes.

Leicester had all the luck tonight, from a shit referee to their goal. If their luck continues like tonight, then they will be Prem champions at the end of the season.

I'm sorry, but that makes no sense. We have made the chances, numerous chances, but we haven't put them away. Kane is clinical, but I don't understand how having another striker would make a difference unless you are proposing we play 4-4-2.

 

[Citizen Kane]

We just need to remain calm only 3 defeats, the best defensive record in the league and Spurs can turn it around quickly. Next league games; Sunderland, Palace, Norwich and Watford. A good run before Man City away and we could solidify a decent position in the top four. Leicester was a wake up call as they just countered and scored a goal which was from a set play. Its one of the most mediocre seasons and teams like les arse, city and united are dropping points on a weekly basis. COYS

I noticed that Lamela took most of the corners.

Has done last couple of games. Eriksen has been shocking for weeks but managed the odd good cross or free kick. But last few games he's been awful.

Agree we didn't play badly at all tonight, but we've failed to score now in quite a few home games and it's obvious what the main problem is.

Strangely I thought walker was our motm!

 

[VoteMe4Prez]

Defensively we are sound (except corners sometimes) but up front is scaring me

 

[markiespurs]

Would have been if not for a couple of brain farts

 

[Sweetsman]

The thing about our defending of corners is that our players watch the ball, but the ball isn't going to change direction without someone connecting with it. Why don't they watch the movement of the other players? That's why Dier and Toby collided: they were both ball watching.

 

[worcestersauce]

Well... That was shite. We looked so promising as well, but it's like the midfield just sort of fucked off for a while. No creativity in the final third.

Tbf Leicester have been doing this all season. Putting up a wall and then grabbing opportunities as they come. Classic Italian stuff.

I'll also say that I saw the worst performance from a referee in a long time tonight. The **** was an absolute mentalist, and ought to be locked up for some of that shit. Poor Harry Kane was getting the utter shit kicked out of him all game, to the point where he could barely lift his feet to run. And did the ref protect the boy? No. Instead he repeatedly penalised him for holding his ground.

Utter utter **** basket.

Just back from the game and absolutely agree about the ref, I couldn't understand his performance, pretty sure people who didn't see it won't get it at all but he really was dreadful not just letting things go he was reversing them and giving them free kicks for their fouls.
Didn't realise until tonight just how much experience the Leicester team have and they used it all tonight, every trick in the book, nothing violent just constant niggling nastiness.
That said we had the chances to win it, were so much better than them and in the end it was a bit of a smash and grab.
Bloody shame but we have to move on, get Berahino or a n other striker would be a good start.
