We asked for your thoughts after Monday’s Premier League game between Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur.
Here are some of your comments:
Leicester fans
Liam: I really thought we were going to be beaten and it was going to end maybe 4-0 or 5-0, but the spirit and passion that Steve Cooper sent the boys out with was inspiring. If we carry on with that belief, passion and never say die attitude, we will be in for one hell of a ride this season. Up the Citeh!
Andrew: If you had given me a draw before the match, I would have taken it. Leicester were lucky to come in at half-time just one goal down, but the change at the break was huge. We can’t rely on Vardy forever, but there is nothing wrong with enjoying it while we can!
Andrew: The first half was what many of us dreaded – Leicester were dominated by Spurs but somehow went in at half-time only one goal down. Whatever Steve Cooper and his coaches said during the break did the trick and we came out invigorated and believing that we could respond. The final 30 minutes (and Vardy) were magnificent. My ears are still ringing!
Mike: I think under Steve Cooper it is going to be a rollercoaster season. This game encapsulated his approach – hang on and hope for chances. Vardy is perfect for this type of football. We might not have much possession but if we can defend resolutely and grab a goal, we should do alright this season.
Tottenham fans
Robert: If anyone wants to understand the term “Spursy” then they only need to watch a replay of this match. We were totally dominant for 60 minutes but we only scored one goal. Then, inexplicably, Romero leaves Vardy unmarked to nod in Leicester’s first attempt on target. Players and coaches come and go, but that weak mentality remains. It is both frustrating and baffling.
Tom: Ange said that our finishing was poor – that included Solanke. Johnson and Son were both poor. Son, at 32, no longer has the pace to go past defenders, so instead he plays sideways and backwards. Udogie was given a hard time and he didn’t look match fit. Vicario’s shouting and screaming at Bergvall was disgraceful – he is an 18-year-old in his first Premier League game! Awful from Vicario.
Karl: Wasteful, like the boss said! It happens too many times throughout seasons, year after year. We definitely should be picking up three points playing teams like Leicester, with no disrespect to them because they dug in and found belief.
Larry: Very disappointing and limp. Spurs have no desire to win trophies and it shows in their body language. Every players needs seconds on the ball and there is no urgency. Spurs are happy to take the lead in matches and shut up shop – Ange seems happy to let them do that as well. We could struggle to finish in the top 10 this season.
