Spurs vs Leicester City 20 Dec 14:15

[Bazali]

I hate myself for liking him, but he, along with Ward-Prowse are one of those players who play for other clubs that I really don't mind.... though I'm sure if we ever signed either, we'd manage to turn them both into average dross!

That’s the spirit

 

[bus-conductor]

Yeah much better to have 0pts by being the better team

Better than having 0 points and being the shitter team. Yes definitely.

What a weird game. We had more possession, more shots but somehow gifted them 2 goals. They didn’t really earn them. Thought Jose made some bad subs. Next week will tell if we are really title contenders or just a top 4 team

God I love you're optimism.

Possession was 56 to 44 but shots were 17 to 8 for Leicester & on target were 4 to 3 for Leicester

 

[kwitie]

Top 4 will do me

Realistically it would do me too. I think we have a great chance of the EL but our performances in the league suggest we have been outperforming our fundamentals.

 

[StripiestPilot]

Not sure about us going soft, but our style doesn't marry itself to luck and that always runs out.

Today wasn’t about luck, Leicester were there for the taking. There wasn’t a shot on target from either team in the first half hour. We never got going and just gifted them the game. Leicester will not have an easier 90 minutes all season.

They won this game on a totally brainless foul and a cross that should never lead to a goal.

The subs were OK.
The smarties are wrong. You would think it made sense to play GLC instead of Berg but it didn't.
There is human being rivalry between GLC and TN and GLC bullied his way into TN's position.
Pure bad luck GLC got injured.

Half the forum were begging for that for the last few days; so have very little right to complain about it.

Better than having 0 points and being the shitter team. Yes definitely.

Of course it is because next week you hope for vast improvements
Coming up short at your best suggests you just aren’t good enough

 

[Don Giovanni]

It’s a bad week
You lot moaned when we beat the scum, so I don’t really care what you think

The problem with you is you never watch any football

If you were watching Spurs this season you would have been concerned too and these results wouldn't come as a surprise to you

 

[1882]

I actually prefer losing by playing shit.
Otherwise it just means your best isn’t good enough

There's a warped logic in there....
I guess if winning when playing badly is the stuff of 'Title winners'.... then losing when playing yoour best is relegation fodder!

We played shit, and got what we deserved.... I am weirdly at peace with that!

Far less annoying than the Newcastle/West Ham games.... and we DREW those!

 

[Maureen]

Sometimes
Are Liverpool fans happy losing 7-2?
Probably not

That’s stupid they have won the CL and PL
Last two seasons. Of course they wouldn’t be happy no one would buy it is not the norm for them they just beat CP 7-0.

 

[Maureen]

Wonder if we will get the “best team lost” quote today

 

[sammyspurs]

The problem with you is you never watch any football

If you were watching Spurs this season you would have been concerned too and these results wouldn't come as a surprise to you

The problem with you is that no matter how we play, you say the same thing.
So who isn’t watching

So hang on, is that 'Spursy' or 'Joseey'?

Beat the scum? that used to mean something, now they are a team fighting relegation so it's not really a big deal.

 

[Maureen]

Manure 3-0 up we will be 5th. If Chelsea win then further down. All those that kept saying we were top with that shite football well now we won’t event be in the top 4 with this shite football. Works both ways.

 

[peter merison]

simply need to use our best players better, Son and Kane were not given anything from the midfield all game

 

[BushHillSpurs]

It’s a bit insulting that people who are concerned about our shit performances are labelled melters or even worse not proper fans.
There are some obvious trolls on here, but there are also some other long standing fans who are not used to seeing this style of play, myself included.
I am no less a fan than any of you guys. I want to see us win, but to see this crap served up week in week out is soul destroying.

 

[sammyspurs]

That’s stupid they have won the CL and PL
Last two seasons. Of course they wouldn’t be happy no one would buy it is not the norm for them they just beat CP 7-0.

So they like the way they play every single game?
Because a few weeks ago RAWK had a Klopp Out movement rumbling

Just goes to show what cunts fans are eh

 

[GDG]

We have been playing poor for weeks

What happened in the last 3 games is the results are starting to reflect on performances

Spot on.

Games against WBA, Burnley, and Brighton earlier in the season all indicated that this was on the cards. The performances were awful. Ultimately the quality disparity was too much in those games and bailed us out.

The “low block” has worked well against the big 6, it hasn’t against teams outside of that.
