Match BOXING DAY BEATDOWN TOTTENHAM AWAY v relegation fodder

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Must do better. All those going on about boosting goal difference in the build up- this is the Premier League. I would happily settle for this score & the 3 points. We continue to struggle in games we shouldn't. There's an element of truth in the "scoring too early" theory but we really shouldn't be making Leicester look good.
 
Stambouli is the one that needs to come off. He's just whiffed 3-4 tackles and given the ball away in our half an additional 2-3 times.
 
Bentaleb has very poor ability of reading the the game and Stambouli is average at best on top of that you have Chadli, Lamela and Eriksen who bother themselves very little to protect the backline and let people easily past them. The defense isn't that bad as it seems, it's just left often exposed due our irresponsible midfield line.

Poch looks very irritated BTW.

I think this match thread has been relatively honest. We have no business playing like we did from minutes 30-40 against this side and if we hope to remain competitive this season, we can't come away with less than 3 here.

We either need another or need to start defending like we care. Likely, we'll need another.
 
should've scored atleast 1 more but we're in control for the most part

we need to get another couple though and tigthen up at the back as Ulloa can be a dangerous player

People are seriously underestimating Leicester then. They're on a terrible run but anyone who's seen them play will tell you they've been creating plenty of chances against every team.
 
for all the moaning going on, we actually played well for the majority of that half I thought but had a mad 10 or 15 minutes. lets hope we pull it together
 
We did well in that first half just got abit lacksidasical for 5 or 10 minutes near the end

we have to get more clincal though as we are creating good chances just lacking that decisiveness or killer instinct

I'll admit I haven't seen much of them but they're bottom of the table and have the worst goal differential. 10 games is a terrible run but we're nearly halfway through (1 shy of 19 PL games).

Spurs have no business losing to Leicester. Period.
