Calm down, they're 1-0 up.
I'm perfectly calm!!! :mad: :lol:

Seriously, trying to play Leicester on the counter for this long is very risky, but I guess the objective is to deny Vardy space to run into, which makes sense. Not going to make easy viewing for us though.

Big IF, but if Leicester lose and we beat West Ham.. there should be some big gaps for our front 3 to expose their back line

The worst part of Tottenham scoring at the sixth minute is the next 84 minutes of hearing, "The wheels on the bus go round and round. Round and round. Round and round. The wheels on the bus go round and round ALL GAME LONG!!!"
Hahaha

I'll be honest, I keep expecting more from him...but don't know why!

Anyone else find Kane to be one of the most overrated strikers in world football? He really isn’t as good as people say he is.
He was really good but recently (since he came back from injury) hes been shocking. Slow, poor decision making, weak on the ball. Not sure if he's woefully out of form or not fully recovered

Aurier having a stinker. We seem happy to give them possession and hit them on the counter. Hope it works.
Seems like you're relying on set pieces!!
Son and Moura are the only pace merchants you have out there, Kane still looks unfit to me, struggling to outpace Morgan :lol:

Yeah it was top class. Lloris has been outstanding since the restart.
He flapped a routine catch into the path of the Leicester attackers around 30 seconds before the save. The only reason he got away with it was because it was so piss poor, the Leicester. players took a few seconds to process what had happened.

Spurs will hire poch again next season at this rate
He’d be mad to go back there. They’ll never win anything with Levy at the helm. They need investment. Poch worked miracles on a shoestring & got sacked for his troubles. I could see him at a massive club next.

Barnes comes inside and towards the half way line and the left back runs up the flank for a chipped pass by Evans which Moura and Aurier are not defending at all. Neither are tracking the runner or protecting the space in behind.

Tight lines in midfield as Leicester are defending narrowly.

Red Card for Casemiro!
I think the system isolates Kane more often than not. His all round game is not being properly utilised under Jose. He is lot more than a target man with good finishing and was way more involved in build-up and pressing under Poch.

Gaping holes in the Spurs midfield are quite reminiscent of Mourinho’s time here.

Like Lukaku it almost feels like Jose is demanding less of him than he was producing previously. It makes him a little rustier when he gets into the game too as he kinda just drifts through matches doing very little.

I know possession isn't everything but it is soul destroying for Spurs to be comfortable with less than 35% of the ball against Leicester on your own pitch.
