Spurs vs Leicester City 20 Dec 14:15

[Cravenspurs]

We're absolutely awful to watch. You can tolerate it when we're winning but when we're not it's an absolute chore to watch us. I'm actually starting to dread it.

I'm happy to say I have not been tolerating this for 18 months. If this continues, the tides are going to shift again.

 

[tommyboyspurs]

Haha now United who were so far behind have caught up. Shocking cheap mentality in this side. Will we ever win anything. We are cursed

 

[Stag]

Also can we fucking win some second balls? The amount of first time headers or flicks we get something on just to let the opposition take a touch or sweep away the second is far to frequent to just be a coincidence.

Absolutely nailed it here - this combined with waiting for the ball to come to you and not moving your body is a result of this passive approach we've adopted against literally any side we come up against

Football can proper go fuck itself sometimes...
I assume there will be numerous players under the bus tonight... and the media can go back to salivating about their favourites!

Let's see how the media juggle the quandary of the 'Leicester Fairytale' compared to the 'Liverpool Juggernaut'

 

[thinktank]

A tactical approach that invites constant pressure on the back four doesn't help though.

We weren't sitting uber deep.

Yes, they did look more threatening than us.

But we were dealing with what they posed us with until Aurier fucked us.

They were bang on their game today.

Have to give them credit.

Without Serge gutting us, we would have regrouped at halftime and had a chance to tweak things.

 

[LukeyRix]

that hurts tbh. Throw all the eggs at the cups now boys... lets go for them instead.

coys

 

[Fattynomates]

We build you up high just so we can knock you down!

 

[PhillyHotspur]

Time to bench Sissoko as well. Spurs need something in that MF especially when down a goal.

 

[Lickher]

Let’s not have a meltdown, Jose has barely had a year as manager and what a tumultuous year (don’t act like he is managing under normal circumstances) he is still finding his way with a squad which has changed a lot, we are still fourth and points ahead of all but one of the ‘traditional top six’

 

[harry7]

We are forced to play Sissoko because Ndombele / Lo Celso are not able to play in the positions they were brought for.

Lo Celso looks like he could develop into a player in a season or 2, but Ndombele; we need to get rid. He won't improve.

 

[Kekerinho]

Not relevant..... Ndombele isn't beyond reproach... His fanboys are sulking.

He was certainly not the worst player on the pitch. In fact in other games there were players doing worse and they didn’t get subbed off.

 

[Mick Cooper]

We should have brought on Bale.

exactly, he would have made the world of difference

...............

 

[Neil 'Yid' H]

You could drug this team, put together a coaching staff consisting of world class coaches and they'd manage to throw the ball to the opponent or just let their heads hang in shame for weeks.

Pathetic group of players.

Not just the players that's pathetic, management as well.

 

[RealCoolYid]

Im glad mourinho has taught ndombele a lesson. I didn’t enjoy watching him anyway

 

[Raiders]

What concerns me is Palace and that today were the same performance wise as Christmas to lockdown. No gameplan, no fight, no creativity, just hoping something happens.

Yeah boot it up to Kane and Son...and hope. It just worked against West Brom and Brighton, starting to go against us now.

 

[white hart brain]

Son and Kane are the only 2 who would get in their side

 

[iz futbal]

We should have brought on Bale.

We dont have Bale. We have a fake replica from aliexpress.

 

[Guido 🇺🇦]

Doherty is a must start at RB vs Wolves. Aurier gifting LC a 1-0 at the stroke at HT is completely unacceptable. Thin margins for spurs this season and it was absolutely shocking.

That wasn’t why we lost fella

 

[PhillyHotspur]

Credit to Leicester. Great plan from the go today and deserved all 3 points. Mirror time for Jose

 

[Merl]

Need to adjust our style of play against the "lesser" teams - today was garbage.

Time will tell if this week just ends up as a blip/bad run and we can recover some consistent form over the next 5/10 games.

Wolves next in the league is another tough fixture
