Match Leicester away Monday 19th 20.00 GMT

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Great to lower our expectations nice and early, in many ways we've progressed, our old way of getting your hopes up and then fucking it all up at the end is so outdated.
 
A Lot of our players have a bad habit of walking with the ball. So many occasions where we could quickly zip it forward and we let the opposition settle. Not every ball has to go back to Vicario either. The drop off in intent at times is dreadful, correct me if im wrong but at one point did we not go all the way back to Vicario from our own corner? Go for the kill ffs.
 
Pathetic from Spurs. And I’m really talking about guts, mentality, composure.

Everyone was all smiles in the 1st half while we battered them but we all knew the sodding script. Should’ve been 3 or 4 up at HT with the points in the bag.

Bentancur misses yet another chance from us in the box. 1 min later the ball is crossed to Vardy. Naive defending but the response was even worse. Players hiding, panicking. Heads gone.

Aside from that. Played well. Esp 1st half. Bit of a worry around some players but….

The lack of leadership in this club/team has never been addressed. All vibes mate. And this is why Spurs aren’t successful .

Depressing

Nope, would still have been a scratchy 1-0 win to a nailed on for relegation side with next to zero quality who we decided to not even play the second half against. We looked good in the first half (when they were barely even present) and then shat ourselves the second the game got hard. After scoring they had the best chance to win it.

The standard of our fans is so pathetic and so low. We had a decent half, it wasn't a good performance at all when 50% of the game we were shit. xG wise we had 1.21 to their 1.09. A lot of the ball and not much of creating clear cut chances. Same old Tottenham.

This fanbases expectations are in the gutter
 
Cooper clearly told 3 players to stand on both corners of their box - completely destroyed what we have to offer going forward as the over and under lap was nullified. Any play through the middle would have ripped them apart but Ange couldn’t see it

The issue is our mentality and our midfield is simply not good enough.

Fcuk me. Am I only the onlt one who can see it.

You could see the result a mile off once we failed to get a second.

Rubbish in my opinion. No excuses.

One saving grace - undefeated so far.

They are so fragile & we have no strong characters/leaders.

xG obviously does not tell the whole story. We dominated them for most of the match outside of 15 minutes after their goal, but we couldn't pull it together.

We had a lot of the ball. They are bad. They did not want the ball.

We couldn't pull it together because we are weak and vulnerable and poor at carving teams open, this is the same shit we saw all of last season and now we see it again. It's not a coincidence and its gonna keep happening.

They had the 2 best chances of the match despite barely attacking. You can’t commit so many players forward and expect not to to get done on the counter even against probably the worst team in the league

Take your chances and they don't even get the opportunity.

If we go into half time 3-0 up. That game is done. Instead we let them back in, crowd gets up for it and our players' heads drop. We've seen it plenty of times.

Johnson is a huge problem on that right. I'd be shocked if he started next week. Thing is, do we throw Odobert in... Or do we play Kulusevski there again?!
 
I pay around £3k a year to watch these cunts and I'm going to be hugely fucked off if Ange thinks this is ok.

What did he say before the game?
"I am not here to just take part, this is a big football club. We haven’t won anything in a long time and we want to change that.”

I want action not words!
