They’re an attacking team with a lot of momentum.
Pochettino’s got them playing with thrust, width and urgency.
Spurs are highly organised and have more firepower. They’re dynamic. They’re confident. They’re explosive & incisive and have the speed to create an abundance of chances.
Leicester’s more defensive style depends a helluva lot on the pace of Jamie Vardy and his efficiency as a goalscorer. Without the extraterrestrial ferret, they’re not as dangerous.
As soon as ref Jon Moss gave Vardy that first yellow card, I knew the West Ham game contained a UXB.
That yellow card was an unexploded bomb. The 2-2 draw and the one-match suspension of Vardy, which can become two matches, is a crippling blow to a low-scoring team of tactically astute warriors. However, tight a game is, they always believed that Vardy or Mahrez could break away and score a goal.
More on Stoke 0 Spurs 4 after I’ve had breakfast & before I shoot out to pilates.
Best thing about pilates is there’s never any talk about football. I’m often the only bloke in the class and today I will be because my mate is in Switzerland with his wife. An Italian intellectual, he isn’t into football.
We did cossack arms last week and maybe we’ll do froggy legs today.
