Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Leicester City

Janssen did very well to hold that up, then took too long to release it the second time.

 

Eriksen with another reasonable free-kick that's not on target.
When was the last time that he scored one? Seems like an age.

 

This is following the pattern of the last game v Leicester at WHL back in January.
Need to take a chance

 

Dele Ali with a Fallon d'Floor contender

 

Madley with three big decisions to make and he bottles them all.
Looks like a penalty, to me.

 

That was a nice move. Shame about the finish by Wanyama, but it's a bit tricky.

 

This'll be interesting.

What 3 decisions has he bottled and why do you think Dele Ali falling over justifies a penalty?

 

West Brom pick up two bookings in the first twenty minutes against City

It took them ninety minutes to get that many against us, even though they were just as scythe-happy in that match...

 

Mahrez booking for the late, **** tackle on Rose.
Alli penalty decision.
The break from that, when Vardy went to ground.

Falling over? No, that'll be your mob, I'm afraid.

 

Do yourself a favour mate

 

Musa puts his head down, Walker lowers his foot... foul.

 

Poor control by Vardy there or we'd have been in real trouble.
We're not creating enough, here. It's becoming a theme.

 

Big chance.

 

Okazaki with a great chance to open the scoring. Sloppy defending.

 

No pizza for the Leicester players if they have more than one
player in the Spurs half.

 

Handball call. Hit his arm, I think, but not a handball.
Lots of wrestling from the corner, though. Consistency's gone, unsurprisingly.

 

Morgan fouling Alli. Madley's going to let it go, then he reacts to the crowd.
Never going to book him for that, so what's the point?

 

C'mon ref. Use that yellow card

 

Referee is having a nightmare.

The home crowd are all over him because he's dishing fouls left and right for things that could easily be played on. There's been nothing worthy of a booking but the crowd have seen him blow his whistle every 10 seconds.

As I say that, he gives a pathetic booking.

 

Rose in the book for petulance, having won the ball perfectly well and not fouled his man.
That's **** by both the player and the official. Shouldn't react like that.
