MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Tottenham have won their last four home league meetings with Leeds.
This is their 100th meeting in all competitions, with Spurs ahead by 37 wins to Leeds' 33.
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham could equal their club record of four league games without a goal for the first time since 2006.
Spurs have managed just nine goals in the league in 2021-22 - only bottom side Norwich have scored fewer.
At the same stage last season, Son Heung-min had scored 10 league goals and Harry Kane had eight.
This season, Kane has scored just once in 10 Premier League appearances. In all competitions, he has gone five consecutive Spurs games without a goal for the first time since 2016.
Tottenham have benefitted from four own goals in all competitions this season, more than any other Premier League side.
Leeds United
Leeds have gone three league games without defeat for the first time this season (W1, D2).
Marcelo Bielsa's side have not kept a clean sheet in any of their five top-flight away matches so far.
Leeds have drawn five Premier League matches in 2021-22, as many as they did in the whole of last season.
Raphinha has scored 45% of Leeds' goals in the Premier League this season (five of 11), opening the scoring in a joint-high four matches.
Tough call but Spurs have Kane whose confidence will be high, but I've a sneaky feeling he'll be firing blanks against Leeds..........Sneaky 1-2 Scoreline with Rodders and Harrison finding the net

Massive agenda against Roberts
Chris Wood got abuse - scored 27 goals next season and fans didn’t want him to leave but he did.
Kemar Roofe got abuse - scored 26 goals over 2 seasons and became a very important player for us
Patrick Bamford got abuse - his goals took us to the premier and 9th placed finish.
Madness

Its ridiculous. Over the last few years in the championship there were clear agendas against Bamford, Cooper, and Dallas, amongst others. Each have played crucial roles in the years Bielsa has been here.

Roberts isn't there problem. We have some fans who always hang their abuse on one player. God knows why but they do.
O.K he’s not what we need going forward but he’s certainly not the reason we lost today.

The problem.

Oh fgs don't give me the agenda nonsense. That sort of remark really gets my back up. If you are implying what I think you are implying then that is against every sinnue in my body as my family background encountered prejudice of the most abhorrent kind.
Why can't you accept that fans can love and support the club and still constructively, which I try and do, critique a players performance with no agenda just an observation and an opinion.
I don't need my eyes testing iether but I think some on here think they are the oracle, the font of all knowledge regarding football that no one must disagree with them and if you do they try and dismiss an opposing view with insults of needing your brains and eyes testing.
Come on.. I thought we were better than that on here.
Guess what you're not always right and neither am I.
Agree to disagree and move on.
And incidentally the first touch of Mckinstry before he was fouled was a peach too and I seem to remember there were a number of fans on here doubting Gelhardt should be given a first team chance but I think you would agree he wasn't too young or overawed by the occasion today and in my opinion Mckinstry looks a similar character but we will see and if he isn't I have no problem saying I was wrong. Time will tell.
Peace and Love.

It’s not so much an agenda as it’s more sheep following the crowd.
I know so many fans who berate Roberts without even watching him play.
He comes on and it’s “oh not Roberts, he’s crap!”
Same at ER - he comes on and you can hear the groans.
No wonder he has little confidence.

If you don't want me to bring up agendas then don't have an agenda. Pretty simple. You can say you don't all you like, but I'd criticising Roberts was amongst your first reactions after the final whistle then, and I'm sorry to tell you this, then you do have an agenda.
One game where he played okay doesn't change my opinion that Gelhardt isn't ready to start at this level.

Joffy has had 1 premier start 0 goals or assists.
He’s completely useless
Let’s keep abusing all our forwards
