Tottenham Vs Leicester: FA Cup Match Thread

[thinktank]

Didn't do much wrong today apart from one poor clearance IMO and I'm far from his biggest fan.

Think there's much more confidence in the back 4 when Hugo is in between the sticks.

 

[Sweech]

It's a very low percentage play. Good reason not to go for them and another reason why we haven't scored many.

Proper cup tie that. We got away with it at the end there. Started well and kind of forgot we're a new Tottenham now and gave away the lead.

Decent Sunday afternoon's entertainment though.

He is playing out of position, he simply isn't a wide player

What kind of player is he, @beats1 ?

Unnatural position usurps that.

It was madness then and it's madness now. I can't believe it that some people don't think we need another striker. It's balmy.

Yep. I'm sweating like a whore in church here.

Their manager Ranieri is classy. Opposite of someone like Wenger or Mourinho. He said that his view was obstructed for the penalty so he couldn't say if it was one or not, and anyway, if the ref says its a penalty, then it's a penalty.

Has anyone found Carroll yet?

Or barmy, even.

The rulebook will state a penalty is given for deliberate handball, I've argued before on here that on that basis you would never get a penalty.

Eh.... No?

Penalty rules are divided into several points, including intention, distance, position of the arm etc...

Clear penalty - need to take the consequence of fondling his arm in the "ball area"
Ffs - he took the ball away from Rose with his hand When Rose is storming towards their goal!

Lucky penalty saves our bacon. We had completely run out of ideas prior to that.

Shame Toby had his worst game of the season but he was due one to be fair after the season he has had.

Chadli could have played himself out of contention for minutes. Bentaleb could have done with starting in hindsight.

Take your luck when it comes. We've built up enough credit to deserve it. The replay is bad news mind you.

When I say lucky, I mean lucky to get a penalty, not in the decision itself. Defo pen.

Poch's to do list:

1. Buy a striker
2. Teach the team how to defend corners
3. Stop Eriksen from taking corners

1. Buy a striker

The rest is not important. We have the best defense in the PL and most teams take shit corners.

BUY A FUCKING STRIKER LEVY!

 

[Misfit]

I'd even go so far as to say sell Vorm as well as a new striker. We need a capable back-up. It's not like he's crap or anything but I dunno, just doesn't seem to fit. Not a crucial thing though. As it is, we all know what we need to this window. Another striker is crucial.

 

[Spurrific]

Unnatural position usurps that.

It was a penalty. I truly think anybody saying it wasn't is demonstrating a complete lack of knowledge about football. It was clear cut. He moved his arm into an unnatural post up and pushed it out of Rose's path. Ref did well.

 

[yankspurs]

In all fairness to the lads, i think i'd rather play 5 games in 13 days then play american football in -6 degrees fahrenheit temps that feels like -25

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

Nothings a penalty anymore according to commentators.

Unless it's against Liverpool or Man United.

In the 93rd minute.

Nah, he is crap. At least Davies has some potential, makes the Siggy deal less heartbreaking. Vorm excels at absolutely nothing as a goalkeeper.

 

[thinktank]

This game shows everyone we need to buy a striker.

I'd give Chadli a go there in the replay in the meanwhile.

poor game, should have won after so much possesion!!

the ball should have gone a little bit faster

Correct penalty in my eyes!!
