Spurs next up and we may as well start the betting now on how many goals Harry Kane will score. There’s no point in saying: “if" - we just need to hope it’s only one and that we score more. Like the game at the King Power where he got cleaned out in the penalty area, but still managed to shin the ball over Kasper as he fell over.
I’m not going to bother speculating on formations and personnel as it’s pointless. We’re so inconsistent that we’ll either look like world beaters or spend 90 minutes passing the ball around aimlessly whilst Kane does his stuff.
Spurs look like they are in it this year. Jose seems to do what Jose does and sacrifice some of the prettier football for results driven performances. It would be interesting to know whether their fans think it’s a price worth paying and whether they’re feeling the Jose love?
Personally I don’t think that Tottenham will win it this year, but they’ll definitely be top four. We’ll have to be on one of our good days for this one that’s for sure and hope we keep Kane down to the one goal .... or hope he pulls up with a minor groin strain during the warm up.
Leicester v Spurs (how many for Kane?)

Plus Rodgers' comments after the Everton game were frankly terrible. I hate when any manager whose team have just been soundly beaten says "I don't know how we lost that", let alone our own. That really irked me, because I could see a great number of reasons why we lost it.

In case people are wondering Kane has scored 14 goals in 10 games against Leicester. More than against any other opponent.
I’d be tempted to just give him a goal in the first minute or two and, once that’s out of the way, have a proper game.

Or Leicester go 3-0 up and he scores a consolation goal in the 90th minute.

I can’t see us being able to deal with Spurs monster counter attacking at all. I fear the worst.
The best we can hope for is to sit so deep both teams just wave at each other from 60 yards and it ends 0-0.
Prediction? Comprehensive 3-0 defeat.

It’ll go something like this...
“Attack us so we can hit you on the break”
“No, you attack us”
“No, you attack us”
“I’m not going to go attack until you do”
“Well I’m not going to attack until you do”
Final whistle 0-0

Nothing but a Spurs win here, 3 or 4-0.

We are a cheery bunch aren’t we?
To be honest my big hope for this game is no more injuries and, hopefully, to get some minutes into the legs of the long term injured. It would be great to see Timmy back.
A win would be a bonus, but we’re often too easy to play against when we come up against a manager who knows how to set his teams up.

Not too bad from me there if only you got that 3rd goal though.

I always knew we’d win. I was just pretending to fit in with the rest of you miserable defeatists
