Tottenham literally escaped with point from Leicester yesterday. You can see crucial moment of the game on this picture. It's 1:0, Maddison and Bentancur made some lovely short passes, but Uruguayan decided it's right option to try to shoot through flesh while Sarr is all alone on the edge of the box. I am not sure was it because of selfishness or he didn't see him, but it looked to me like ideal opportunity for short pass forward and then first time backward toward alone player for free shot and probably goal! Punishment came few seconds after in next Leicester attack.
Ball was left cross came in, player alone as ghost inside, but cross was to high, ball went on other side it looked like all Leicester players are marked, but Sarr decided it's good thing to abandon his man and to go toward man marked by Romero. Romero didn't understand such class thinking of Senegalese and dag in his position, Porro was nowhere near and one harmless player who no one could think can score a goal Jamie Vardy was all alone on back post cross was perfect and it was BENGEDE and ball ended up inside net. Who in football marks other side striker on crosses ? LOL!
You can see Leicester player alone and ready for tap in but ball went over his top.
It looks like all are marked except maybe one in he heart of the box.
Sarr abandoned his player and joins Romero in marking this dangerous lad in center, while harmless player like Vardy is all alone.Romero dag in, Porro is to far away... It was visible it's going to be goal from international space station.
Surprise surprise, harmless striker, player like Jamie Vardy can do header tap in from 4 meters! How can that be ? LOL!
At that point Spurs disappeared from the pitch, Leicester had two dead chances both saved by Vicario. First after easy ball through Vardy ran alone but Vicario made wonder save. Another near the end when Bergvall lost the ball in dangerous area trying to smuggle ball between two, dangerous cross happen, alone player I think Ndidi made free header but it was not super accurate and Vicario was able to deflect it into corner!
"Enjoyment" of Spurs fans could be complete when Rodrigo Bentancur did head clash with opponent and fell down unconscious. Doctords run in, it was battle for his life which last 10 minutes. He finally came to consoius and was moved away from pitch on stretchers. He was badly injured in last match in Leicester and that moved him away from pitch for 9 month. This was season he should show us he is back and he received new heavy injury which I am afraid might end his football career. I am very sad about that. He commanded play in first half superb together with Maddison. I felt so secure when he is in possession.
Tottenham dominated first half big time. Leicester didn't make shot on target, they didn't have anything but one long range attempt after Vicario went out to do header but ball ended in possesion of Leicester player who badly missed the target. Spurs had dozens of chances. I can't describe them all, should lead 3, 4 or more goals, but scored only one over Porro after great header inside the box.
This match showed how crap Tottenham forwards are, what are Ange's signings Werner and Johnson, Solanke didn't play anything, he was pure zero yesterday. Son was invisible, Maddison looked on himself in first half, but he was another man in second.
Difference is Leicester respected Spurs for no reason and were mainly on their half during first half, while in second they ran to press with bigger number of players and Spurs showed they have absolute no solution for that. Home fans start to become louder and our players lost on the pitch.
Ange Postecoglou showed once more what kind of coach he is. It was clear things are not going well in second half after Leicester scored goal, but he didn't do anything until it was to late. If I like international fan know his back post defending on crosses is crap he can count that every Premier League team knows that too and they will exploit this! Poor Ange he can't win newly promoted side like Leicester! After all bad and not ready players he brought in for huge amount of money. At least he escaped defeat against poor Leicester side lead by formula 1 driver Cooper. LOL!
At the end I need to mention referee. Near the and Kulusevski stormed on right side, endure rough reckless attempt to break his leg of savage from Leicester, other player crush into him with his body but Swede deflected him like fly and run toward empy box, but referee stopped the play to give yellow card to Leicester player ?! Did you hear about advantage prick ? Why didn't you let action to finish and then give yellow or red to Leicester savage ? Let's hear what corrupted Howard Webb has to say about this event!!!
