After their game against Burnley was postponed over the weekend, it will have been 11 days since the last time Leicester City took to the field.
Even with notable absentees due to injuries and the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations, the ‘Foxes’ could yet mount a top-four challenge considering they have games in hand over their rivals, though this match against an improving Tottenham Hotspur could prove pivotal in that aim…
Players to watch: Leicester’s Patson Daka is expected to lead the line in Jamie Vardy’s absence, and each of his four scoring appearances this term produced over 3.5 total goals!
For Tottenham, Harry Kane will be licking his lips at the prospect of facing Leicester as he’s scored more PL goals against them than vs any other side.
That result simply would not have happened under those previous managers, that’s for sure.
Unfortunately what that result likely means is less squad investment… it’s the default levy response when we win.
I’d take the 4-0 every time; a fair number of clean sheets is a common trait of any successful side.
In the end the result matched the chances we created and boy is it a better watch than anything under Jose or Nuno. I think we all agree with Conte, we need to be better, but at least this shows what we are capable of.
We were lucky, but so were they. If we could win a game by being 4-0 up at half time or score two deep in injury time I will take the latter. I just kept thinking it’s been a while since we scored 2 in the 96th minute!!!!!!
☺️
Since Ajax.
PEH stopped him from doing it, held him back.
Their time wasting was infuriating. They got what they deserved which was fuck all. Good on bergwijn good on kane good on conte. Fuck the board.
Meant to put my comment here… few pints… utter quality from kane.
Just utter quality from kane for the winner.
This is true.
‘Deweee will bweee valued at seventy meewion pounds again soon…’
Specially Deweee Alleee
The first time i ever seen him playing well. On the counter, royal butchered every ball he had tonight. Doherty starts next one
Pararici failed to get a better wingback than Doherty when asked to, brown paper bags full of Euros perhaps? 🤔
I really, really hope not…
Absolutely
Lol
The Conte effect. It’s the opposite of ‘Spursy’…
We’ll need at least one of Dier or Romero back in that back three to get anything. I’m sure the semi-final would have been more of a contest with those two playing. We might not have bossed possession but we may well have not conceded three across the two legs. Thus not allowing Chavs to control the tie so easily…
Definitely
That aged well 😬
Yup.
“Antonio, these players are veweee good, I did say didn’t I?”
and you’re most welcome to it!
Let’s hope that match fires Stevie B and the team up for the match against the Chavs. Let’s hope it does not give Levy an excuse to close his checkbook yet again. At least that may make Conte a tad happier than he has been of late. FFS Levy, we are somehow knocking on the door of a CL spot. The money from that alone must make it worth a punt to bring in some fresh blood now in January not delaying again until the summer. If we get a CL spot that will enable us to attract better quality in the summer.
A brace from Stevie. Music to Levys ears
Just need to muddle through defensively until Dier and Romero are fit again, neither Tanganga nor Sanchez are good enough to play hat central role.
Conte switched play 3 times to get that result.
Cool. Maybe he’s finally finding his feet in England.
His Moura moment
I’ll take a point.
I couldn’t watch tonight’s game but now I presume we’re not selling Stevie B?
I was just thinking that!
Still unbeaten in the EPL since Conte took over. 😀 😀
We play Chelsea next. Let’s see if we can turn up against them for once, because they’re nothing special currently.
Has Kane had the gnashers done?
Fuming until the last 15 seconds 😂🤣
Never in doubt… 🤪
Just to get carried away for a moment, if we win all 4 of our games in hand we’d actually be 3rd.
Just saying!
Bergwijn is class but loads of injuries and barely been played..
I’m thunderstruck. So uncharacteristic.
Oops .,got the result right though…
Reminded me of the Ajax semi final.
Spurs away fans awesome again…Leicester’s like a family day out..then came the “it’s happened agaiiinnn”..from them…opps
Yep
Still can’t work out how he gets a game
Apart from his wasteful shooting in the 2nd.half Harry Kane had a very good all round game.Bergwijn what an impact sub.
A great result. Gained under duress. 👍❤️
‘This is your daily briefing…. A lucky win however…’
I reckon Doherty has got his place in the next game…honest !
Great from Bergy, but really top class for both late goals from Kane who kept his head and created the breaks in both cases I think.
That pass from Kane was absolutely brilliant. Too bad he is the only player we have capable of hitting a quality forward pass.
You gotta love Conte, his passion is contagious
The sound of Levy closing his cheque book…….?
I thought Bergy was going to get a 2nd yellow for running into the crowd
😂😂😂 probably the weirdest game I’ve seen in a long time
Conte’s been great….ENIC, sh1t
Conte time!
Yep, incredible
The most unspursy thing I have seen
Yep.
Didn’t give up trying so respect to that!!
How often do refs actually add on the time? Fantastic!
Err…… Hold the Mountainwine transfer.
NOW they can finish!?
Ice man had a great game…
Its a funny old game.
Yes!
Woo hoo
At this point I was referring to the draw! 😀
Karma.
Just incredible
Amazing!!!!
BRILLIANT…..that never happens to SPurs…YES…GET IN
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Conte is going nuts. Love him
Can’t make it up!!
If I could swear on this blog I think right now would probably be a good time!
Ha ha
Brilliant.
Say what you like you miserable gits, but we deserved that! 🙂
Ummm
He’s a disaster
Aaaaaaaaaah!
We really have no idea in the final third.
relegation – only way these enic cnts might go. emphasis on the modal verb. how many ‘top 6 sides’ need to bring on a dogerty or ilk to change the game? thank you levy messages are winging their way to the n17 toilet bowl as we speak, evil piece if sh1t
It’s hard not to.
World class manager with a Championship squad. Go figure
Glad somebody else notices
This could go on another 3 hrs and we wont score..
Fooking hate them.
This league is average this season and once again we should/could be up there but we have levy.
Can’t buy till we sell unt!!!!
We haven’t played that well…Leicester managed the game..everyone knows we can’t score
Wow, Sanchez got schooled. Again.
This old chestnut again.
Jose played him a bit
The boy stuck with the Brothers Chuckle for his brief tenure
Nuno was in a constant daze
Conte hasnt and we dont know why -so 4 is pushing it a lot.
Great block from PEH
Almost too obvious. Bags of chances, concede against the run of play, score one, miss chances, concede against the run of play, and then it gets scrappy and we struggle.
Oh, and Giovani has given us another trademark No Show. What a fabulous sub to have.
We should have had this stitched up by half time. 2 goals cleared off the line plus other chances. Same old.
They’ve been shocking as well but got players to get them goals..
He’s fouled a few and given them a chance to waste some precious minutes
