Problem was more he didn't pull his weight, gave off the big bollocks prem loanee, came back then started giving the big one as if we were so ungrateful to have had his majesty in our side. You had a 19 year old that had just spent the first half of the season injured. He doesn't drink or visit nightclubs, is with the same girlfriend he had from school age, great temperament too. Have you ever seen Kane doing the dirty things like Costa / Alli etc? Regarding his now unusual lack of tattoos - I loved his response; "My dad would never let me" Top guy. Englands future top scorer and captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, cannon fodder we should beat, but apart from Liverpool there's not a win against the top 8 in that run is there? You can only beat what's in front of you - yes, it wasn't the hardest of runs of fixtures, but being top half and snatching 7th or so for Europe is achievable by dispatching the mid-table and relegation battlers and the odd win against a CL side.

Injury would be an excuse if the issue was purely poor performances. If he'd just been shit for us and developed, fine - there are so many players that have been shit for us and I don't give a damn about. It's the attitude he gave when he came back our first season back up that did it for me. No respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need somebody better I've purposefully tried to stay as quiet on the subject as possible, because you all know how biased I was against Nigel's tenure and I didn't want to hold Craig's links to him, against him. However, I always had this fear in the back of my mind he could have a Sammy Lee moment. That happened tonight. I have nothing against him as a person - I think he's probably a really nice guy but I just don't think he is a long term fix for the manager's job. I would try and bust a gut to get in a new face, like Mancini (I know people will scoff, I say him but again, someone with some links/more experience) and try to reshape things. We have now reached a crossroads. We either carry on much the same way as we have done and whilst not forgetting the wonderful experiences of last year, go back to being a mid table top flight team, or really try to push on and achieve some more top 6 finishes (even if we never won the league again).

MurphyMagic Posted 18 May 2017 Share Posted 18 May 2017 That performance will haunt me for quite a while. They really need to put in a top performance on Sunday to help me eradicate that from the memory. Spurs are a top class team. Very impressed but we didn't half make it easy for them.

Ranieri was castigated, week after week, for playing them. But after CS took over, suddenly Huth and Morgan, who haven't changed their way of playing CB, became everybodys darling and were hailed for their reliability. Strange. Well I wasn't one of them calling them, I stood up for them so chirp elsewhere fella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UPinCarolina Posted 18 May 2017 Share Posted 18 May 2017 From someone who wasn't here when Kane was on loan at LCFC, I really think it's a little over the top. Now Diego Costa on the other hand, or Dele Alli... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry - LCFC Posted 18 May 2017 Share Posted 18 May 2017 First hour was fine. They were clearly on top but we competed at a reasonable standard. Heads dropped after their third went in. That was disappointing, I didn't expect that. Taking Benalouane and then Vardy off helped turn it into an atrocious night. I'm prepared to mark this down as a one off. Expect we'll beat Bournemouth at the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue ROI Posted 18 May 2017 Share Posted 18 May 2017 Made the trip for this one. What was I thinking?!! Having a few pints now.

Struwwelpeter60 Posted 18 May 2017 Share Posted 18 May 2017 14 minutes ago, The Doctor said: By side I assume you mean squad? With mostly our first choice line up we took 22 points from 10 games, these last two have come with a makeshift defence and missing our main CM. First choice lineup is arguably Europa league, overall squad is midtable. Spurs were also playing without two of their first choice line-up: Eriksen and Rose.

It doesn't - hence drawing the line between our first choice lineup (the 11 from last year with Ndidi in for Kante), and the 25 man squad. The former you could make a case for being around 6th/7th; couple of injuries, reliant on the latter and we're probably around 11th/12th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They well and truly outclassed us tonight, I'm staying away from all other social media to avoid getting wound up and just accepting defeat to a better side.

Their replacements are better than ours - that doesn't detract from the point that while we've got a good first choice lineup, our replacements are mid-table.
