Considering it's Boxing Day and our next two games, I for one am perfectly fine with another 3 points however they came about.

Well gary, I think we'll see a team with 3 key injured players
Motm: Danny Rose
Because Leicester will play the same against top teams as they do bottom teams? There are examples of great teams losing to weak sides, doesn't mean we should be hammering them. It's averages which count.
Pretty sure you missed my point in my last post...
Here it is in a more signposted version:
I think this demonstrates that us fans have to show a bit more respect to 'smaller' clubs. There is no easy game. We can't assume we are going to win just because a club isn't a premiership regular.
Sent from my iPhone at Wembley. <as in, we're already at Wembley...
Yet they had a chance to do something with the ball when they had it.....no?
It seems like Leicester took our team by surprise.
(Unsurprisingly for us) Leicester were desperate for points, and it bloody well showed. As per usual, we underestimated them and so couldn't get out of first gear.
Surely we'll be more up for the United match (which they probably had one eye on today)...
Still, we won. Fuck it.

What? He played in Chadli with a great fucking pass, for him to cross for the first. put Bentaleb through -who should have scored - and made another pass where we should have scored. He was more influential with his passing than any one in the team.
Hard fought victory which should build the team spirit. Only saw the 2nd half but amongst some average performances Danny rose stood out as completely terrible. Constantly out of position. Davies back please
Merson does it again....we only do 2-1 wins when we are live on Sky apparently...
"If this was live on Super Sunday, I probably would have gone for a last-minute 2-1 win for Spurs, but it’s not.
Leicester may be struggling at the moment but it’s never easy to play them on their own patch, so I’m going for all square in this one."

Could not agree more. Also showed some good pressing from start to finish. Towards the end relieved us of a lot of pressure with some good dribbling out wide.
Brilliant analysis, better than anything from Andy Townsend.
Undoubtedly why we started Rose today, so that Davies could be fresh for United.
One hell of a gamble, but it paid off (shouldn't have, looking at how the game went).
We'll I'm not as negative as most of you doom mongering cunts. First 30 mintues we were well on top and could've been 2 or 3 up easy but for shoddy decision making at crucial times in the final third. Last 10 or 15 of the first half Pearson switched something up and they were on us. Second half started largely the same but Lloris was his usual world class self. An absolute giant among men. We badly need a proper experienced midfielder as when teams get us on the back foot they cut through Bentaleb and Mason like butter at times. They have big potential but they'd benefit greatly from someone who's been there and done it. Bentaleb completely let his buddy go for their goal too. Well happy with the 3 points and the foxes fans can suck a fat dick for booing Harry Kane.
