omt*** Tottenham Hotspur Vs Leeds United

Had Lloris played, I'm confident we would have won this match. Wasn't this always going to happen when the squad was announced? EPL teams that play weakened teams deserve everything they get IMO. Too smart by half and it disrespects the opposition and the competition. Maybe United City and Cheat$ki can get away with it, but not Spurs.

This was as bad a performance from Spurs as I have seen for a long time. We just looked awful. Second to every ball. Shakey at the back, no creativity in midfield and no threat up front.

A lethal combination. Add to that, no desire and a first half where several players were playing out of position and TWO DMS against a lower league side and you have a ****tail for defeat.

Leeds wanted it more. They were first to every ball. We made poor players look good.

AVB got the team selection, tactics and motivation entirely wrong today.

Surely we just have to buy a striker now. Levy we NEED one now. If we dont get CL this season you might as well kiss goodbye to the new stadium as we wont need it.

Its not chicken and egg. It is CL first - then a new stadim.

No they weren't they played us brilliantly exposed our frailties at the back to devastating effect. Need a striker can't understand the moutinho gonads if we have a limited pot we need to blow it on one or 2 strikers.

Exactly this, they made our two CB,s look like brick, we have just lost to a very poor Leeds side that's my gripe.

You're confident that Lloris would have made Naughton run back rather than stand still and claim for offside? You're confident that Lloris would have made Vertonghen run back rather than have a leisurely stroll back? You're confident that Lloris would have made Parker protect the defence better? You're confident that Lloris would have taught our defence how to stay awake and the offside rule. You're confident that Lloris would have taught our whole team how to pass and move? To have another striker?

I like Lloris a lot, was delighted when we got him and thought he should have been first choice from the moment he got here (though I respected the reasons for AVB doing what he did). This legend that has grown around him is a bit ridiculous now however. We were brick from front to back today. Lloris wouldn't have changed one iota.

Don't be a smart arse. You know what the point was! Lioris would have at least got a hand on the second shot.
 
Awful performance from us today, the worst I've seen since Capello left the England job. The only silver lining is that it has happened during a transfer window so might persuade Levy to wheeler dealer a us striker and get Holtby in asap.
 
A great loss, we still can not play the best team in the FA EL PL, so now it's just EL and PL left. We saw today that we can not rest any players and still be good, so a great loss! IMO

I can see your point.
There was a huge gap between the back 4 and Friedel that Leeds exploited all game.

But there were a few players not up for this game and that's the main reason we lost as far as I'm concerned.
 
There is no way of proving that. I am 100% sure that had Friedel for whatever reason been playing against Man utd, we would have had a lot of posts saying that Lloris would have saved the Van Persie goal. Yet he didn't.

The point is that the whole team was brick from front to back. Changing the keeper wouldn't have done anything.

I don't know how we were able to pick up any points with Friedel last season tbh considering how brick he is.

Or more likely Lloris would have rushed out for their first goal, brought the man down, gave away a penalty and got sent off. No one will ever know, because Lloris didn't start. But there is no way Friedel was to blame, talk about spacegoating.
