Match Leicester City vs Spurs - Saturday 11th Feb, 3pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

No body mentioned how poor Kulu was today? His first touches, passes and running with the ball were horrible, he was a different player than we know.
 
He's going to be a therapy dog at this rate...

He better be in the next god damn video !!
 
B
I haven’t been able to see the game but dropping Emerson and playing Tanganga over Sanchez seems bizarre. Why?
Because Conte is trying to get sacked.

His decisions this season have been ludicrous...... Giving Sarr a Premier League debut against Woolwich then leaving him out the squad for the next few games.

Playing Tanganga and Porro together in the same match.

Never dropping or subbing Son.

Always subbing Kulusevski off

Never playing Bissouma for a consistent run of games...... Totally ignoring Spence....


Leaving it till the 75th minute in games tmvefire he makes subs and then bringing on 2 defenders.....

This is not Elite manager behaviour.

So that either leaves two explanations.

A - he's not as good as everyone thinks he is.

Or

B - he's trying to get sacked.
 
Agreed.
Kulu having an off day.
Perisic has been pretty underwhelming since joining. Only for the fact that Sess isn't really a premier league standard player that Perisic gets a game.
Son and Kane don't seem to be in sync.
Defence is all shite, with honourable mention for Dier and Forster who have combined to put up fuck all effort when confronted by an attacking Leicester.
There is no doubt Son has been poor this season. I've not seen anyone knocked off the ball as easily as him. That said I think you can't play Perisic and Son at the same time on the same side. Whatever Spurs have gotten from Perisic on his crosses has been offset by him being constantly in the positions Son used to operate from.
 
We need to be patient. Rome wasn't built in a day FFS!!
Been here 15 months. Had lots of players bought with a few shipped out that he doesn’t like some never even given a chance. What progress have seen in our football? What style, patterns of play, philosophy, tactical master calls and flexibility have you seen? Every team we play we let them have the ball. Have you seen a 90 minute attacking football game? No the guy is a fraud and should go back to juve where they good for that sort of thing.
 
That’s it for me. Conte is clueless.

I can honestly say I’ve never watched such crap boring football in my time as a spurs fan.

Losing 3-1 and he brings in Sanchez and Emerson.

Sorry but Conte is not the man for us.
Wolves look a much better team with a manager known for playing good football. They play a great brand of football. Could you see us beating dippers 3-0 under conte?
 
Where to start on this one...


Forster looked okay...ish. Looking back at the goals, you can point the finger to multiple people, so blaming only him is unfair. Him making 2 very good saves also helps in that regard.

Tanganga was by far the better CB out of a terrible bunch, and even he fucked it up completely in their disallowed goal, so I wouldn't have that as a badge of honour.

Dier and Davies terrible, but Perisic was the worst by far. He started the season extremely well, but has looked very shaky since the 4-2 game against City. Having Sessegnon as the alternative doesn't help our cause at all. Dier not coming out for a tackle and giving the striker space is going to be the end of me.

By far the worst game Kulusevski has played for us, nothing got going. A very bad day at the office for him, but he has enough credibility to believe that this is a one-off.

Son has to be dropped. Seriously. I said during a match "If he were a horse, he'd be put down by now" and I really do believe it. He's becoming a major liability in this side.

I'm very-much a Conte in guy, but you have to say he got completely out-coached by Rodgers today. Full credit to Rodgers, he knew how to pressure us, when to play us, and where our weaknesses were. A masterclass by him. Dare I say Conte had one eye in Milan?

I'm not angry about this result in all honesty. Maybe the draws of Woolwich, Chelsea and Brighton softened the blow. However this is a major, major call for this team to wake up. The reaction to this will be very telling.

The biggest blow looked the injury to Bentancur, especially now that Bissouma is out as well. To me it looked like an ACL, even though he started walking when he left the field. Hopefully I'm VERY wrong on that.


Now, more Spurs than ever. Onwards and upwards.
 
I was optimistic... but I was deluded...
I'm not angry... but I'm disappointed...
I'm not surprised... but I'm despondent...

I'm lost for how to feel!
