Match Spurs vs Leicester City - Sat 17th Sept 2022 - 5:30pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I maybe wrong but I think seeing spence play Saturday the fans would walk away saying we got a player and excite the crowd.Also would love to see Bryan gill get 20 minutes before he wants Out the club.
 
Everyone is posting similar teams, that we mostly all agree on.

It’s frustrating that Conte can’t see it. Then again, there’s a reason why we ain’t managers!

Love Son, but his confidence is shot at the moment. You can see it in his first touch alone.
 
I think if Conte makes any changes this weekend it's Sess for Perisic and Kulu for Richarlison.

Not what I want but definitely what I can see happening.

I would do it too. Harsh on Richarlison but that front three built up a solid understanding last season. There is absolutely no reason for it to have dropped off like it has. Kane and son need a good long look at themselves, because if they think their performances so far this season are acceptable then we have problems.

Have they been over indulged and now Richy has come in and ruffled some feathers by showing he should start and it has put the others noses out of joint? I wouldn’t be surprised.

To be honest, I think the 'problem' is that Conte has developed a strategy to get the best out of his 2 best players (Son and Kane) and has been drilling these strategies since he took over.

This approach is very understandable and tbf, prudent as they are WC and our other players have typically underachieved. I think Conte is trying to 'play to our strengths'.

It worked excellently towards the end of last season but now that they are out of form - does he have a plan B? We have a much bigger and better squad too. Can he use them without compromising much on his shape, strategies?

This Leicester game will be a huge eye opener imo, for right or wrong reasons.

We cannot underestimate them or this place will go into a meltdown.
 
What I'd hope for:

Lloris
Romero - Dier - Lenglet
Spence - Skipp - Bissouma - Sessegnon
Kulusevski - Kane - Richarlison

Sessegnon and the midfielders come in because the ones that got replaced are shot to pieces already.

What I'd take:

Lloris
Romero - Dier - Lenglet
Doherty - Bissouma - Hojbjerg - Perisic
Kulusevski - Kane - Richarlison


What will happen...

Lloris
Romero - Dier - Davies
Emerson - Hojbjerg - Bentancur - Perisic
Kulusevski - Kane - Son

think he'll start Sess but other than that unfortunately you are correct. Im not a Emerson hater at all, and often defended him but I am getting tired of seeing that he seems to have the Son/Kane undroppable card. He hasnt done anything to earn such credit
 
I think we need to chill to be honest.

Perhaps we should "trust the process" as Capt. Black on Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons once said.

thanks god it's the last game before Nationals break
the squad has lost his confidence, can't score and can't defend
we need a small reset
No irony emoji so I take it you're being serious.

The last home league game we played, we battered FFC. If ever a 2-1 scoreline didn't tell the story it was this.

Went 2-0 up. Hit the bar. Hit the post. 2 goals disallowed for very marginal offsides. We're still going for a 3rd in the last few mins. Their goal was a breakaway from a move where we hit the post. And it was a superb shot, say a one in 10 chance of not being saved or missed.

Leicester is a home league game too. So probably a bit more representative than an away game in the CL.

But I would like to see Doherty get a start. The amount of goals we scored in the matches before he was assaulted by the Villa cunt was sensational. 4's, 5's.
 
My god, the melting on here! 1 loss since April and suddenly Conte hasn't got a clue what he's doing.

This season will be decided by the impact of the world cup break. We cannot afford to overplay those players who aren't going to the World Cup (Sanchez, Kulu, Sess, Bissouma, Skipp, Tanganga, Moura)

What kind of backwards logic is this?

1. Surely they could play more if they are not going to the world cup as they will have a nice long winter break?
2. There is very little danger of overplaying them anyway since the cunts have barely kicked a ball. No one is asking for Bissouma to play 90 mins every game but maybe use him once in a while you know
