Re: Spurs v Leeds Utd Match Thread - Klich fit, Bielsa names unchanged side

Jeese the criticism bamford gets here is insane.

Had a difficult header that he couldn't keep down and a half chance from a cross and that's it. Should have done better sometimes on the ball so far but so many other players have had off games so far, let him have one! Easily been on of our standout players so far this season and one of the top scorers in the league. We know his limitations but unless we want to spend 40 million on a replacement, let's get behind him!

Good first half of football. Both teams have had their chances, but they have been more clinical than us when it counts.

Klich then Harrison the two best players on the park for us, Dallas also playing well. Underperforming list is headed by Paddy and Meslier, then Raph and Alio. Kalvin anonymous, Rodrigo quiet but has flashed.

I still don't think Struijk is ready, he will be, but not yet. Good against physical aerial teams but struggles with quick passing teams..

It's close as to whether it's in or not. Definitely a foul though, watch a replay after the game alio clatters into him sadly

Looked equally as good as spuds if fact probably the better football,see Bamford is getting stick as usual. Been a couple of wingers conspicuous by their absence today. Free hit today for me . Still in it.

As good as Meslier can be his distribution has been awful for quite some time.

Usually gives the opposition at least 1 good chance per match.

Looking at their chances they took two and missed two.

Ours were more half chances.

Ali coukd have crossed but after Tuesday he deserved a hit.
Bamfords header was our best but wasnt that easy.
Harrisons dig was a great hit but flew over.
Bamfords half volley just didnt gave enough bend on it.


But get a goal and who knows?

No part of Ali was in the box, so couldn't be a pen, he was going down before Ali touched him, as I said clever

Can't keep giving teams a leg up in this league. Anything from this game was always a bonus so nothing lost imo as long as we don't get trounced.

I've been watching Gillette Soccer Special and Jeff Stelling is absolutely adamant that the foul was outside the box.

All round team play we have been better.

But difference in individuals the difference.

Better players take the chances and arent so sloppy wity the ball.

Both Spurs goals were our fault.

Frustrating
Completely agree, we do the hard work and then gift the match to a team that's not playing as well as us.

I guess that's the difference in class, Citeh and Liverpool will not put the match on a plate for Spurs, like we've done for Liverpool, Leicester and Spurs.

The first contact is definitely outside the box.
