*** OMT: Tottenham Hotspur vs Leicester City ***

[harr1984]

And that is why Sissoko doesn't shoot

Yet the Spurs fans egging him on to shoot - seriously, why?!

 

[thfcsteff]

Not in terms of player , but his brick houserey is in Dele’s league

Cannot agree mate. Perhaps the goggles are on, but Dele is both charming and talented, Maddison looks like a mincing prisspot.

 

[thfcsteff]

Is this ref on the take or something? He is as biased as I have seen in ages clam!

Absolutely.
He has infuriated me.

Pretty poor performance and lucky to be winning . Need to play alot better to win this.

Thought we started well and Sissoko (or Sanchez if you are Alan Smith) has had a good game. Playing Skipp and Llorente, for different reasons has meant we haven't been able to dominate. Eriksen looks like he's up for it today, will have to see the Son penalty claims again but although he's held onto it a little too long at times he should benefit as Leicester tire / push on

2 mins added in the first half. Why?

30 seconds a yellow card.

Strangely Oliver didn't draw the foul back when Son lost the advantage there, like he did with Leicester earlier. After a much longer time too.

tinkle poor half from the ref. Not much better from us. Leicester look lively up front and fairly solid defensively, so the game is far from over.

Hopefully they keep Vardy on bench

a little OT unless you are watching Sly Sports but I love the Paddy Power Rhodri Giggs ad!

Missed it so googled. Absolutlely amazing ad. Paddy Power always get me with their advertising team, but this is a step up for even them.

Leicester are leaving a load of space at the back, seems the type of game suited to Moura

I like them even when they take the tinkle out of us, they are funny.

 

[Gilzeantoscore]

Frees usually follow possession, but not today. I wonder why the team with 60% of the ball is not getting anything?

Very paddy power

Oliver in their dressing room now giving the team talk.

Probably asking who they want him to book next

 

[Briddo1882]

The ref is having a shocker. Think we are doing OK and deserve to be ahead.....but the ref - he is brick

 

[Daisuk]

Leicester playing well though, targeting Trippier again and again. I think we need to do something down that sign. Preferably sign a new rb, but can't do that at half time, so maybe shuffle it a bit.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Debating was it a penalty. I am not sure I have seen a more obvious one for weeks....

 

[thfcsteff]

I am again alarmed at the criticisms of our performance.
We have a starting 11 with no Kane, Alli, Dier, Toby, Lamela...I think given our current situation, this is a decent enough performance and I expect us to kick on second-half.
Remember, had that giant gawping thunderclam Oliver done his fudging job instead of fudging it up TWICE in one action, it might've been a lot different. COYS!!!!

Unbelievable. Clear as clear can be.

Because everyone loves a trier - especially one out of his depth.

Precisely that - he's a utility player like James Milner. Break into the side at 17, play all across midfield, do a job at full back when needed, always scampering about, always criticised, adaptable.

Fair comparison. If Skipp achieves half as much as Milner has then he'll have done well
