Tottenham Vs Leicester (EPL): Match Thread

[tommyt]

Fit for the bench, fit to start. Surprised Dembele doesn't come in.

Meritocracy.

Hmm don't like the idea of Carroll much in a game like this but oh well. Need 3 points tonight

Chadli looked poor since he's been back.

He's played like literally 3 to 5 mins before the last game when he got a bit more. Literally 1 decent amount of time on the pitch

I feel a bit sorry for bentaleb. wonder if it is a fitness issue. I honestly would feel more comfortable with him in the CM2, over Carroll. But I don't blame Poch's philosophy of rewarding players for good performances. Though, it would be nice if he was a bit more ruthless, by considering horses for courses. still, carroll had a nice game on Saturday. let's hope he can repeat it, and perhaps play even better.

Bentaleb and Chadders?

He was my MOM last match

I'm personally devastated that our best player at the weekend is starting tonight...

More concerned at why Davies starts if Rose fit enough for bench. Odd.

Vardy starts for Leicester.

Leicester City ‏@LCFC 15s16 seconds ago
City: Schmeichel, Simpson, Morgan (c), Huth, Fuchs, Mahrez, Kanté, Drinkwater, Albrighton, Okazaki, Vardy. #TotLei

good lineup.

we have to be realistic about at least earning a point tonight. They have a lot of talent and grittiness in their team.

 

[Grapo2001]

Can we please not start all the Carroll shit again.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Chadli looked poor since he's been back.

Hasn't really had much game time at all. Agree he hasn't looked great but he has proved his worth in the past so shouldn't really write him off yet. On another note, Bentaleb must be wondering what is going on. Hardly gets a look in these days.

I really don't understand this Carroll hatred...

Arguably Davies has had the better season. He's in my first Xi as it stands.

You're somewhere in Asia?

Yes. Philippines. Manila.

Davies is disciplined... Leicester are counter attackers. Ben's a better fit for this.

Davies has been very good recently and has earned the left back spot IMO

 

[Wellspurs]

Dembele not 100% maybe?

 

[Hercules]

Although who here slagged him off for playing Dembele twice in 3 days when he was struggling. Now we all want him back fast after injury even if he's not ready!

Very good point!
Come on TC!!!
COYS!!!

 

[GutBucket]

They will sit back and counter obviously, our midfield will be more than fine. Lamela, Alli and Eriksen should all help against Mahrez. I am fairly confident for this one, we will have possession but we need some good moves in the final third.

 

[Davious]

Damn, they're playing Messi (Okazaki) again

Confident that Toby, Jan & Dier can deal with anything though. I hope Dier has a great game especially

 

[TropicalYid]

F*** Vardy and Mahrez.
Im optimistic today. We have a very good team. Lets crush them.
COYS!
