The Last Man Standing 17/18
We are good at them. They are massively overrated as chances, just like crosses.
You are watching different games from me mate if you think we are good at corners.

We are all still waiting for Eriksen to come good this season and play and shoot like we know he can.
Time for a sports psychologist and a new girlfriend methinks. His shooting and delivery are too anaemic. Someone is sucking the life out of him (either figuratively or perhaps literally!!!)
But we've smashed him 5-1 in the league cup - let's do the same next Tuesday Leicester are getting on my wick.Oh and Ranieri: yet to lose vs Spurs in a league game...
And for the love of GHod, just please, please buy another feckin striker already. How many times will the club do this and decide we don't need an alternative?! How many other teams in the league have 1 striker in the squad? It's beyond madness its fudgeing stupid! Say Kane gets injured, what then? Play Son up front? It would make sense purely just to have a bit of variety, mix it up and go 4-4-2 every now and then, not every time we need goal but you get the idea. Kane has no competition.

And there we have it. Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's defeat was Tom Carroll's fault. You could not make it up.
Bit harsh mate. Do I think he should be starting ahead of Mason, bentaleb and Dembele - no. But he is a good squad player who has not let us down when he has started. I think we will see him benched once Dembele is fit again. Not sure what is going on with bentaleb at the moment.I agree with Grimsby...
from what I have seen of Carrol.. he's championship only and I cannot understand him being selected.
You don't win Premier Leagues with 2nd division players....
I wish we could be Leicester, for once. A recently promoted team can sit top of the league, never giving up, fighting from minute one to minute ninety and winning in all sorts of places they shouldn't be: is it impossible for Spurs to do that, or are we just doomed to be the team that flatters to deceive, every single time?
Sigh. We actually were, for a while. But then we do stuff like this.
The only thing is as you can see from some of the responses on here.This was an important game...perhaps we don't have the depth..but anyway I could clearly see from his last game against Leicester that he would have no impact. I wish he did have...but sadly falls short!Bit harsh mate. Do I think he should be starting ahead of Mason, bentaleb and Dembele - no.

It looked like it was Lamelas free kick from right corner yet Eriksen takes it, why, especially as he did the same on Sunday.I like Eriksen, but his free kicks really need sorting. And he should be relieved of such duties in the meantime.
I don't think anybody bottled it tonight or played bad (maybe Walker had a dodgy game). We just needed to take either the Kane chance where Lamela slipped him in (and to be fair, it was only a coat of paint on the bar that stopped it, decent save from keeper) or the Lamela one where Davies found him in the box and he skied it.
I really would go and buy Berahino now, and get him in this team in a front 3 of Lamela/Kane/Berahino. We need another finisher in the side imo, and a bit more pace when games get stretched.
This was a huge chance we missed tonight, it's so frustrating!
We were one of the top 15 clubs in Europe financially!
It's pathetic how we have no psychological strength or belief.
