Match Threads Leicester vs Spurs - Match Thread

[cjbyid]

Twitter rumour so take with a pinch of salt and all that.

The Dele omission is strange - has anything been said officially?

 

[Spursy2j]

weve come for the draw looking at that team

Glad Eriksen is benched, hopefully he’ll see the kind of performance he put in in Greece won’t go without consequences.

 

[hutchiniho]

Eriksen quite rightly dropped. Shame we don’t have the options available to leave him out of the squad altogether.

Exactly this. He is so casual atm.
If he wasn’t the only midfield creative type we have , I’d happily let him rot in the reserves.

Preseason pens mean nothing but man alive they do how much he cares. Then his give away in the edge of the box midweek was poor beyond measure.

That kind of thing hacks people off.
Never heard Kane and Poch pressers like this before

 

[Timberwolf]

At least with Ndombele in the side we'll have more creativity than we did against Newcastle. Also Leicester won't sit back so it should be more of an open game.

Feel this one is a 50/50. Wouldn't be surprised if we won comfortably, but would be equally unsurprised if Leicester rolled us over.

Poch said last week with seven games in 21 days he would be rotating.... BT report Poch furious with team and makes six changes.... The media have really got it in for us fucking getting boring now.

 

[SirHarryHotspur]

That was Eriksen.

Correct not Harry it was Eriksen but Dele should have just cleared the ball away not trying passing out when under so much pressure.

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Less than an hour to KO and we’re only three pages in. If we lose today, we fucking know who to blame, the lazy, non committed, life owning twats

 

[Shadydan]

He needs to be fit for the Euros but the Denmark team is so entirely built around him that only serious injury will keep him from playing for them, regardless of how much he plays for us.

I think it's more about match fitness, if he's constantly on the bench towards the end of the season he won't be in peak condition, also you want to have a bit of form going into the tournament - if you're stinking out the place with your club then what chance that you're automatically play well for your country?

 

[King of Otters]

Midfield looks solid and with Kane and Son up front we should have more than enough to trouble them defensively.

 

[dondo]

Please tell me it’s not the diamond again

 

[degoose]

i'm a little concerned by the formation as it looks like the diamond formation that has not really been that successful so far. Hope it works today, not bothered about Eriksen being benched as he was so poor midweek.I just want to us go all out from the start.

 

[rossdapep]

Glad Eriksen is benched, hopefully he’ll see the kind of performance he put in in Greece won’t go without consequences.

It's why the Lo Celso injury is so infuriating cause if he'd been playing and doing well it would mean that Eriksen could not afford to be so weak and we wouldn't be missing him or wait for him to sort his form out.

We need to be proactive in January and get his replacement in immediately.

 

[pedrodelawasp]

He's a box to box central midfield player

One of his big selling points is his eye for a forward pass

 

[thebenjamin]

Yeah looks like Ndombele on the left side of a diamond. Can't think of why we'd buy him to play there.

 

[Blake Griffin]

With Dier Wanyama and Skipp on the bench, could we not have put Parrott on the bench for one of them seeing as he travelled

poch picks his subs based on pecking order rather than the positional needs of the team.

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Please tell me it’s not the diamond again

Either that or some weird 4222/442 hybrid that lacks another creative AM for the former or two natural wide midfielders for the latter

 

[rossdapep]

The 3 of Ndombele, Winks and Sissoko is not ideal as they are all players who are more effective deeper. At least Leicester shouldn't sit back but those three are not the ideal mid.

That Lo Celso injury is a massive pain

 

[thebenjamin]

Eriksen will be on at half time
