Match Thread Tottenham v Leicester

[Graz]

So 442?

4-2-3-1 I'd think?

Perez as no. 10

Not sure why Sky are suggesting its 4-4-2

 

[fitz]

A great comeback on the cards?

 

[give_us_a_wave]

Gray for the lump

Should have happened after the second

Second goal or second minute?

First second

But don't you honestly think he's been put in a situation with several players who aren't good enough? Other than Evans, we have an entirely second-string back line. In fact, Thomas and Bennet are third-string.

Soyuncu really should be getting more stick for his actions against Bournemouth. If he was playing here at least there'd be some pace there.

We've lost any creativity with Maddison and Albrighton out (plus Chilwell and Ricardo).

The manager has made some iffy decisions but he's now working with **** all.

Soyoncu deserves slating, I accept that. Although I expect a manager to instill a level of discipline which makes it less likely to happen.

Players being out I don’t accept as a good reason. It’s as much about fitness and conditioning as it is being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I agree that what he is left with is rubbish. But then you set up deep and narrow, you commit fouls and you look for Vardy‘s pace on the counter. We might have lat anyway but we’d have had more of a chance. He has used what he has very badly today.

Even if I were to accept the reasons you outline as mitigation, it wouldn’t explain why we’ve played so badly since the early part of December when those things weren’t factors. My concerns aren’t about any one match.

 

[Brown Nose]

Holy shit. He's stuck with the back three. Now Justin and Gray out of position.

Is BR being paid to lose our top four place? I cannot believe that he can be this thick.

baffling to leave the system in place.

 

[City Fan]

Wonder when Nacho will come on? Presumably 88th minute when 5-0 down?

 

[londonfox]

Gray for the lump

I was hoping by 'lump' you meant Harvey Barnes.

What is the ****ing point in sticking with a system that has seen up ripped to shreds in the first half?

 

[SilverFox]

**** this.

 

[londonfox]

Yeah but Praet or Choudhury will be on first for Perez

 

[Orifice]

Are we wining yet?

Don't think you can put any blame for Soyuncu's moment of madness on Brendan.

We don't have many moments lkek that at all, suggesting we do have discipline instilled in the squad

If that happened all the time, then yes you can blame the coaches. But we don't have that at all usually. That's all on Soyuncu

 

[Volpone]

Another crap corner.

 

[mabrah]

Daniel Harris, of the Guardian commentary team, has given me cause for a smile. On Kane...

Not as much as he loves himself, though, but I’d expect him to give it one more season at least.

He'll have the last laugh though I know so my light relief is negligible.

conceded three more penalties than any other side.

 

[City Fan]

Nacho on...for Perez?!

 

[Lako42]

Genuinely think we've been managed out of the top 4.

 

[Graz]

Nacho on for Perez

Harsh on Perez but hard to get them all in I guess

Barnes and Gray better providers than Perez
