Happy we won. But it looks like the old circus is back at Spurs ! Really hate those topsy-turvy matches where we would always concede almost as many goals as we score. It has been some years since we last end up with tennis scores such us 4-3, 4-4, 4-5, and 6-4. Now Pochettino's team has made it possible with the kamikaze defending once again ! Our defence has become so shyte that we look like conceding goals every time other teams attack now, regardless of how shyte the opponents are. It is really embarassing that Leicester who are bottom of the league outclassed us and scored 3 goals at WHL. They could have won this game if Kane was playing for them instead of us ! We were also fortunate to get the penalty for our 3rd goal as we looked lost after losing our 2 goal lead then.
Pochettino has to take the full blame for playing the same team that got humiliated by ManU last week. Really annoyed that he never thought of improving our defending with players like Fazio, Dembele and Stambouli. As a result, we are now officially the worst home defence in the whole league, with only Sunderland conceding as many goals at home as us which is 22 goals. Embarassingly, even the bottom 3 teams have conceded far less goals at home than us ! Fortunately for us, Kane is continuing to save us with his goals or we would be near the relegation zone now.
Full credit to Kane for getting his first hattrick of the season in the league. It is really amazing that he continues to save us with his goals. He has now got 19 goals in the league and 29 in total which is even more amazing. But he might have 1 goal taken away from him as his 2nd goal might be ruled as an own goal as it took a huge deflection off the Leicester player. Kane could have scored 2 more goals as he scored another which was correctly ruled offside and wasted antoher in the 2nd half with only the goalie to beat. Not sure where we would be in the league if not for Kane's goals.
Unfortunately for us, both Eriksen and Chadli seems to be badly out of form and out of luck now. Eriksen should have scored 2 goals but had 1 shot hit the post from which Chadli wasted the rebound. Eriksen also should have scored our 4th goal but his tame shot was saved by the goalie but deflected into goal by the Leicester player. Similiarly, Chadli wasted another chance late in the 2nd half. Both Chadli and Eriksen used to score those chances but seems to ran out of luck now. Credit to Dier for assisting our first goal for Kane and Rose for winning the penalty for our 3rd goal. Paulinho also did well when he came on as he created the chance for Eriksen for our 4th goal.
Really annoyed that Pochettino played the same defence and midfield which was so poor against ManU. After their poor performance against ManU, Dier, Mason and Stambouli should have been replaced by Fazio, Dembele and Stambouli. Not surprisingly, our defence and midfield had another shyte performance, getting outplayed by Leicester for large period of the game. It was annoying to see the defence go missing for their 1st and 2nd goal. Vertonghen should have defended better for their their 3rd goal but Dier should have covered for him. Unfortunately for us, Lloris went off injured so early in the game. Thought Vorm should have done better for atleast 1 of their goals, especially their 3rd goal. It was very poor for Vorm to be beaten from that distance like that. Our midfield were no better either with both Mason and Bentaleb making too many silly errors which put pressure on our defence. This match proves that we badly need a defensive midfielder like Stambouli or someone better to help our defence now.
It was nice to get this win after the humiliation to ManU last week. But Pochettino better do something about our defending if we want to stay in the top 4 race. If we can concede 3 goals at home to bottom team Leicester, just imagine how many goals teams like ManCity can score against us ! Won't be surprised if that match ends up 5-4, 6-5 or 7-6 either way ! Unless Pochettino makes drastic changes to our defence and midfield, we can't expect to finish this season in a positive mood regardless of how many goals Kane scores.
