Kendal Fox Posted 25 October 2016 Share Posted 25 October 2016 If it is 4-4-2 then hope Claudio goes with Okazaki and Slimani up front as opposed to Vardy - Aside from the way other teams have dealt with him this season, he is too well known to Spurs, especially given the players they have in the England squad... Also, in contrast to Vardy, there is the unknown factor with Slimani and Shinji might again prove somewhat of a positive conduit between strikeforce and midfield... That said, I'd be very happy with a point. It's going to be a tough old match... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted 25 October 2016 Share Posted 25 October 2016 Can't see anything other than the same side from Saturday. Ranieri knows that one more win, maybe even a point sees us through to the next stage of the champions league and if that means resting them that work the hardest (Albrighton, Vardy) so they're extra fresh for Wednesday. If anyone gets dropped I can see Ulloa coming in for Slimani. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freesolo Posted 25 October 2016 Share Posted 25 October 2016 This Is going to be a tough game, Spurs will be well up for it and with all our new players I wonder if they realise how important of a game it is on everything that happened last season. Obviously you should go into every game with the mindset that it is a cup final but I wonder which side of ours will turn up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsintskaro Posted 26 October 2016 Share Posted 26 October 2016 I hope they will give everything in this game they will be first in chemp league anyway and PL is priority at this moment after spurs there are good matches coming and they can lift up higher in the fixture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vardy has no form this season do you want to try and beat spuds or happy whatever as long as Vardy is happy Although i do agree with you, we need Vardy back on top form and the only way to get that is to play him. It's a tricky situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 26 October 2016 Share Posted 26 October 2016 A good start is crucial. We can't get into a situation where we're two down after 20 mins. We need to come out the blocks very quickly and take control of the game, quickly. If Spurs do this, we're gonna struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxfanazer Posted 26 October 2016 Share Posted 26 October 2016 We need to get in their faces right from the off like Bournemouth did last weekend. They look vulnerable under pressure and have a few hot heads in their side. If we play anything like we did against United, Liverpool or Chelsea it'll be a similar result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammie82uk Posted 26 October 2016 Share Posted 26 October 2016 Stat time Tottenham and Leicester have met seven times in all competitions in the last two seasons, with Spurs enjoying three wins to Leicester’s two (D2). Leicester’s 1-0 win in January away to Spurs was their first league victory at White Hart Lane since October 1999 (D1 L3). Spurs have gone nine Premier League games against the Foxes without keeping a clean sheet – only against Arsenal are they on a longer run without a shutout among current top-flight sides (14 games). The nine goals scored in the four clashes between Spurs and Leicester last season were all scored by different players. Claudio Ranieri has never lost a Premier League game against Tottenham Hotspur (W7 D3). Spurs are yet to concede a single goal from open play in the Premier League this season, with all four of the goals they’ve conceded coming from set piece situations. Leicester have lost all four of their away league games so far this season – the only reigning champion in the history of the top-flight to lose their opening five were Everton in 1932/33, whose losing run was halted by a 2-2 draw at Filbert Street with Leicester in the next game. Tottenham are looking to avoid defeat in their first 10 league games for the first time in the league since 1990/91 (W6 D4 that season). This fixture pits the two sides that have collected the most points in the Premier League in 2016 going into the weekend against each other (Tottenham 54 and Leicester 53). Shinji Okazaki ended a run of 13 Premier League games without scoring by finding the net against Palace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 26 October 2016 Share Posted 26 October 2016 It would be nice to just be all square at half time, let alone consider getting any sort of result here. We've been absolutely battered recently in away games which I just struggle to get my head around. If we make more defensive errors this time around then they need to be punished. So far our defence have been allowed to get away with these disgraceful efforts and it gives out the wrong message to continue to let them do what they want. I know that sounds harsh as Fuchs, Huth, Morgan and Simpson have all at times this season played superbly but that doesn't give them the freedom to not turn up in away games. The likes of Chilwell must be crying inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a tricky situation. I do agree as well. But he first needs to know he is not first on the team sheet. One game away is like a rest. And personally I don't think its fitness that's the problem. More like academy books films and other shite. I don't see another England cap for him that's on his mind too. Sadly since the summer he don't look hungry. Imo he now needs to look like he is starving. The only record he has looked like breaking so far is games without a goal. To rush him back maybe to our detriment.

billyn88 Posted 26 October 2016 Share Posted 26 October 2016 Not too confident about this one but everyone who is going, even if we're getting battered I want to hear 90 minutes of "champions of England", " Tottenham Hotspur, you left it too late/missed your one chance " and so on.

Foxxed Posted 26 October 2016 Share Posted 26 October 2016 I'll be happy for a good team performance even if we do lose, in the same vein as the crystal palace match, but with tidier defensive work. With a similar performance as last match, it's hard to see us not getting on the sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
