Match Thread Tottenham v Leicester

[londonfox]

Tielemans looks comfortable in possession, doesn’t get a nose bleed in the opposition half, and can find a teammate with a pass. Already a massive improvement.

 

[glyn]

Apparently Sanchez first goal for Spurs after 66 matches. Naturally.

 

[Orifice]

Purl will bring Vardy on to replace the new bloke.

 

[glyn]

I can't get over how ridiculous it is the finally play someone like Tielemans and drop Vardy for a player with zero intelligence and no composure in Gray.

Vardy deserves the opportunity to play when we have someone to give him the ball, he's been putting up with **** all service all season and now he's dropped.

Whatever Puel said pre-match surely there’s more to this decision than a tactical choice.

 

[Miles Away]

Spurs already taking the piss and it’s not halftime yet.

The only thing I hate more than Spurs is watching Puels Leicester.

 

[Brown Nose]

1. Fail to deal with routine set piece yet again.

2. Play a more creative passer (TIelemans) than we have for months and leave out our striker.

3. Sad to say, but Barnes bottled two great opportunities.

4. Gray and Maddison both (again) absolute lightweight wastes of time.

5. Ndidi looks much better when he's left alone to do what he does best and not forced to share it.

6. Spurs are shit.

Because Puel is a ****ing cretin.

Maddison completely anonymous

The stats for key passes:

 

[Volpone]

Much, much better without vardy. At least we are playing with 11 instead of 10

Yeah he’s such a useless **** isn’t he

In one list, this proves what utter horseshit most of these sort of stats are. You should rely on your eyes more.

I often think I'm watching a different game to some of you.

Maddison hasn't been involved as much as I'd like, but when he's on the ball he looks like he can make things happen.

 

[floppus]

The only positives so far is the reinforcement that we have too many players who are a waste of a shirt. D. G. the most obvious

 

[M17TT C]

Real shame to be behind here as they don't deserve it.

2 real good chances that Barnes should have done a lot better with - if that was a couple of other players they would have been slated ridiculously.

Tielemans looks just like the player we have been lacking though.

 

[Rock Fox]

overall think we've better than of late, unlucky to be behind but - as before - our finishing has been poor after getting into good positions. Hope Vardy comes on for a decent chunk of second half.

 

[Jeff]

Tielemans has been everywhere.

 

[Brown Nose]

Souness and Carragher just hammered Maguire for his defending at set piece. They were spot on, it was awful.

 

[Volpone]

Yeah he’s such a useless **** isn’t he

At the moment yes he is. A total waste of a player.

 

[H T B]

Their goal was marginally offside.

 

[SJN-Fox]

Looked level to me.
