    The space behind their defence would be perfect for Spence to be running in behind… so nice one Conte for showing zero faith in him.

    Staggers me though that we’ve got 4 WBs in the squad today and 3 of them are horseshit… in a system heavily reliant on WBs, that’s painful.

    Really poor half.

    They've had 13 attempts to our 6.

    A team bereft of confidence with 1 draw and the 5 losses on the bounce are creating more than double the chances we are.

    And the less said about the defending the better.

    We are going to hand them a win if we do not sort it

    Standard chaos for Spurs-Leicester. Other than the one at WHL under Ranieri, I don't remember a dull one. Gonna miss them if they go down.

    No idea why Bentancur still starts. He's been crap to okay at best all season, and it's our midfield's timidness that has called the majority of our problems all season. If it weren't for the quality of our front 3, and the set-pieces, we'd be bottom half. It's still early in the season but I feel like I'm waiting for it all to fall apart. Was the same under Jose in his first "full" season.

    Terrible half, given the ball away so many times again. We will need Sonny second half to stretch the defence, too easy with everything going to feet on the odd occasion that the pass goes to the right coloured shirt. Can't believe that one of the other midfielders wouldn't improve things. So expect no subs at all.

    No changes. Surprised Sess isn’t off given he’s on the wrong side now

    Conte looked fuming as he walked out, hopefully he’s put some fires into bellies.

    That’s how I feel. Weird because Conte is a top manager and Spurs have a couple of top players but to me something is missing.

    Our playmakers are Perisic(very good but also 80 years old), Kulusevski, and Kane(doesn't drop off so much which is probably Conte's call). I think that's the main problem, along with our being happy to stand off and wait for a set piece or piece of skill to nick a goal.

    Perisic off… keeping Sess on? Brave. Hopefully that brave doesn’t turn to stupid.
