MILD FOXING ABOUT THE EDGES

By The Boy -

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!!!!!!

Pararici failed to get a better wingback than Doherty when asked to, brown paper bags full of Euros perhaps? 🤔

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…

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.

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.

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.

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.
