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

[MKSpur]

Best two attacking performances so far have been 3-5-2 - hope we persevere with it

 

[Rorschach]

I hope that's not our good half.

 

[DeanoAustin]

We’ve been excellent. No idea how we aren’t winning this by a few. Winks and Skipp have been the pick but I don’t think we’ve had a bad performance. Kane and Moura have also carried a threat even if their finishing is off (particularly Kane).

More of the same.

 

[FolkestoneSpur]

Good half, how the fudge are we not winning this?

 

[Robbo]

Entertaining first half. Disappointed we don't lead after all our chances. This is a game we should win, but we need to be more clinical.

 

[alekaras]

xG 2.42 and that's just from one half of football. Let's hope we can keep this up. Leicester look clueless. And I hate those fudgers.

 

[markysimmo]

Best 45 we've played all season, excellent apart from missing loads of chances and the switch off for the goal

 

[Legohamster]

I know it won’t happen but I’d be tempted to get Berg on for Hojb if fit. Can leave Skipp and Winks in there. Just feel we need one more player with a bit of attacking threat.

I know I’m harping on but we’re just falling short when that vital final move falls to a defensive player in an attacking position.

Think Hojbergs been good here.

some nice passing to start moves

Can't have any complaints about that performance. Best we've seen in a while, Leicester playing a fairly open game seems to suit us.

What seemed a fairly defensive setup hasn't been, both Skipp and PEH have gotten forward well, obviously not necessarily great on the final third, but they get there, they try, numbers forward, that counts for a lot.

Decent options on the bench too if we want to add more attacking power.

More or the same please.

Very fast pace. Hope we can keep it up the second half.

 

[NaijaSpurs]

You look at Skipp and you realise we need to send any young players with potential on loan to a Championship club, if at all possible

 

[Benny_Lad]

It flatters though because when push comes to shove it’s about a killer assist or finish. We don’t need all 3 of them here. Gil maybe? I’d like to see him deeper.

 

[markysimmo]

Great pressing to win the ball back in dangerous positions
Quick incisive passing too

Keep it up

Despite him being the latest spacegoat, Hojberg is a good player who literally never gets rested.

He’s actually had a weeks rest for a change, and looks all the better for it….

Footballing side of Spurs is a mess . Buying land tho so all is perfect .

Happier now?

 

[markysimmo]

Very fast pace. Hope we can keep it up the second half.

We've hardly played lately so should have bags of energy

Too many defensive minded players being asked to do attacking things. They are trying their best but it doesn't really suit their attributes hence that final pass lacking or timing just not quite being right.

The system has merit though, just needs a higher quality of player performing the roles to work well.

 

[paxtonwolf]

14 shots in the 1st half (5 on target). What a chance from Nuno-life

 

[billyiddo]

Only managed to tune in as we scored, stats of the half and what i saw suggests we're shutting them out pretty well whilst creating good chances the other end?

Moura & Kane look like they're linking well

 

[Lemonade Money]

I had to check what forum I was on, the positivity threw me.
