Tottenham lost vs Leicester 4:1 and conceded goal like on training ground. Most of players just stood like monuments and watched how Leicester players are scoring. Leicester was bad too, assisted Spurs for first goal, almost scored the most bizarre own goal ever, made dozens of bad passes, but still won this game easily 4:1. That is because on other side was only one player who wanted to play football and it's Bentancur.
Dier, Davies, Perisic, Porro, Son, Hojbjerg, Kulusevski, Forster, Tanganga it's very hard to pick up the worst, but I think prize should go to Eric Dier's hands. Way of his positioning, not blocking, letting everything go pass him was just amazing. Perisic played like he lost every football skill he ever had, he couldn't even cross the ball inside not to mention bad passes or bizzare goal attempt in first half. Davies setup Leicester second goal with sick and inaccurate pass toward Kane, Forster is diving like Titanic, any low ball near post is goal with him there, Tanganga can't foul with hands, but can do baby crawl, Kulusevski is crushing on opponents and can't go around anyone, while Son is trying to pass through opponent despite he has clear alone team mate and of course lose the ball and make counter attacks. Porro has been returned to Portugal at least two times in first half. Under return to Portugal I mean runs forward while ball and his player are going in other direction. It was his first game in new league so I won't complain much on him yet, but must say this was one of the worst debut in EPL I saw.
Scored goal was like I said consequence of luck because Leicester player literally passed to Bentancur who is only one who wanted to play football for our club yesterday. He payed dearly for that with new knee injury which is I am afraid season end for him. New player who got mysterious knock was Sessenion who will be out like Lloris 6-8 weeks which means we'll enjoy in Perisic's or Davies'es non performances there.
Why all looked that bad ? It looked to bad to be tactic. If central defender doesn't know how to position himself, if left central defender and back are constantly doing bad passes in feet of opponents, if right back and right central defender are unable to stop anything, if no one bother to block shots or win air duels, while attackers are trying to do impossible instead of simple things and goalkeeper diving and positioning like Titanic I highly doubt it was tactic issue. It's something else and why to hide it I think it's influence of entire team by someone again. Over TV it looks like ENIC pressed all it's buttons and let this game to Leicester with agenda to sack manager. They should sack themselves because they have Eric Dier for 10 years in defense and just gave him new contract so he can continue to drill. New contract as it seems is reward for drilling team.
I have no doubts this will continue in few days in Milan where we will enjoy in midfield duo Skipp, Sarr and again in Dier, Davies, Perisic and Forster. Conte's teams never conceded 4 goals before Tottenham and this defense managed to do it twice in short period of time. When you are buying free players like Lenglet, Forster, Perisic and you don't change Dier and Davies that's what you get. We all know who is responsible for that. #EnicOut #DierOut #LevyOut
