*** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Leicester City ***

[fernadez]

Skipp for Hojbjerg for a start.

 

[Baleforce]

just seen the pen, contact was outside the box

more of an earned one than a bad tackle, he was sliding to block a cross and the other guy was smarter

 

[DeanoAustin]

Yeah, I'm calling him out for being bad defensively.

We've gone too attacking today, and been punished for it, we should stick to what we are good at.

Too attacking? We’ve struggled to keep the ball. That’s our worst half of the season.

 

[The Fatman]

Not sure if I am watching, football, or a horror film.

 

[metalgear]

Hopefully we improve in second half as we’re prone to though that wild first half didn’t follow any pattern.

With Richy it's not going to have any patterns. Need better 1-2s and little triangles from the players. They don't seem to anticipate how each other plays.

 

[Kandi1977]

We've been shaky in defence, but good when we've actually passed the ball and gone forward, but we've been far too sloppy with the passing. If we hold on to the ball and stop giving it away so cheaply, we'll win comfortably.

 

[Baleforce]

and just got a proper look at the second, dogbrick from Sess, needs to win the first ball, or at least stop the cross, can't get beat twice

He went în to reckless and he paid the price. Ît was a mistake.

 

[DubSpur]

He wasn't that awful în some games. Got the red against Marseille. He will come good, he always does.

He was terrible in most including against Marseille. Son chasing after a good through ball from Kane and getting taken out by a stupid defender doesn't make it a good performance from him.
How long do you wait for a player to come good? Almost 20% of the season gone after today, give him another 20%? Has to be a limit to how long he's given and it's past it for me.

 

[Baleforce]

Too attacking? We’ve struggled to keep the ball. That’s our worst half of the season.

yeah, because we've weakened the defensive unit, we are better with Royal there too

 

[paxtonwolf]

Why do we keep passing to heavily marked players? That is why the ball keeps coming back. And we should have signed Maddison. How long can we keep playing without a midfield?

Apparantly, we dont need him

 

[Baleforce]

With Richy it's not going to have any patterns. Need better 1-2s and little triangles from the players. They don't seem to anticipate how each other plays.

he's tried I think, Kane has had a lazy one

 

[Kandi1977]

that's what I'm saying, easy way for the keeper to get a cheap FK

It's the rules. That's the same as saying getting tripped is a cheap way of getting a FK.

 

[DeanoAustin]

Agreed poor defensively but he’s shuffled it around a lot. Not sure why Romero is rested.

Romero hasn’t looked great since coming back. Can only assume that’s it. But all this nonsense being posted about Sanchez a few weeks ago…fudge me. The build up to the goal. The tackle wasn’t even the worst part and that was stupid.

That said, he’s not the only one having a mare defensively today. I’d say Conte is tearing his hair out. Gonna need another set of implants or whatever after this.

 

[Robbo]

just seen the pen, contact was outside the box

Yeah, that was a free kick all day long. So easy to see on the replay, for anyone but the VAR refs, apparently. Stupid from Sanchez of course, but that should never have been a pen.

 

[Kandi1977]

No, it was on the line, and the line is part of the area it defines.

 

[metalgear]

Leicester looks good to score again, Rodgers will use the speed on both flanks to scare us into submission.

 

[DeanoAustin]

Sonny and Romero out warming up on their own.

 

[Baleforce]

Apparantly, we dont need him

drop Richy or Kulu for him?

 

[fernadez]

Romero and Son warming up

 

[Sandman]

I want to see Spence. Some space with all that pace. Bring in Romero to shore up that side.

Bring Kulu in behind the forwards for more three in midfield.
