*** OMT - TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs. Leicester City ***

[Spursman]

We were only half decent for 25 mins. Been poor since.

Sloppy by Bentaleb. He should never have been beaten to that ball, and should have done better with that chance in the first half. Fine player and all, but he's not having a great game today.

Lamela please **** off

Bentaleb is always sloppy, he does a lot of good things but he gives the ball away easily at times too...

The clue is in your second phrase.

Lamela has reverted to type and showing last week was a fluke.

Complete absence of a midfield platform, no ball retention.

Need to change it sharpish

 

[thfcsteff]

I wish Erik would release early and quickly.

 

[Spursman]

What the **** does he say to them at HT?

Careful.. You may get hung draw and quartered for that

largely good first half. ive been amongst those screaming for more wifth, but for the first time today i thought we looked better with the game compact.

we we're knicking the ball off them high, launching dangerous counters; we also had some lovely breaks from midfield like from Bentaleb. Terrible touch and the move fizzled out but bugger me, that was a positive sign as ive never really seen much of bentaleb getting in behind defences before.

i felt when the game did space out a bit, more pressure was applied onto us as the length of the passes was allowing them to press us. as the game spread out the passing came more and more under pressure and leicester forced their way back in.

We're not quick over 100 yards, but if we can be quick and incisive in our passing we're going to be too much for teams. Theres a lot of technical proficiency out there.

I'm liking what I'm seeing today.

Still liking? Didn't see this coming after leicester hit the post?

This is a really "English" game and most of foreign players are struggling with it.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

What the **** does he say to them at HT?

To be fair we have normally been better in 2nd halves

 

[DubaiSpur]

We look like the team at the bottom ATM. Christ, what a shower. Everyone giving it away.

 

[PochettinoPochettinoPochettino]

Guys we have been **** all season not just this game for 45 mins. We have been very lucky against some teams so if we lose today it shouldn't be a shock. We have an average team and squad and our only world class ish players are Eriksen and Loris.

Their playing with much more urgency than us

just because we've lost our way i'm not going to ignore the positives from the first half

I think you could well be right. A couple of our young lads are suffering.Look for us to now score on our first attack this half hahahahaha.

 

[harr1984]

The clue is in your second phrase.

No steff, by always sloppy I mean every game I see him in - he gives the ball away to the opposition needlessly a few times - but like I say he does good things too and he is still young.

But I read in another thread someone else saying you said You think Real Madrid will want Bentaleb next from us, ahead of Eriksen? That must of been lost in translation surely...

Why does bentaleb struggle to play the ball forward? At this point can we replace him with Paulinho ffs
