‘I am angry and dissapointed’ Pochettino vents his fury at Spurs point
Pochettino is aware Kane needs some support and the Argentine remains hopeful of signing West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino. Spurs are expected to table a second bid for Berahino this week, after an initial £15million offer was rejected on Tuesday.
And his disappointment was backed up by goalscorer Alli, who said: “It was very special to score my first Spurs goal but I’m devastated we didn’t win the game“.
The England global was unable to help fire Spurs to a victor against impressive Foxes after Dele Alli’s opener was cancelled out by Riyad Mahrez. “The mistake (of conceding after scoring) we made today is hard to explain”.
“The draw was right, they had great chances and we also had two great chances”. For all that, the first half was poor. Considering that in the whole of last season Albrighton only registered 3 assists he is already on course for a much better season.
Jeffrey Schlupp: Impressed the most at the back for Leicester with his athleticism and focus.
Though Mahrez did not exactly sparkle after joining the main Le Havre side in Ligue 1 (he scored a mere ten goals in 60 appearances) still his move to Leicester in 2013-14 was probably the start of something new.
The draw means Spurs are without a win in their first three games – after Stoke scored two late goals to come back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 last weekend.
Inler, who is at last the replacement for Esteban Cambiasso that Ranieri wanted, could come into the midfield in place of Andy King or Danny Drinkwater.
With the ball zooming in, Mahrez with all the canniness of a classic goal-poacher somehow shadows his way between the two defenders, gets a faint touch to it and then…
However the young English man has proved his versatility by putting up a good show in his new found position.
“I see the young guys and it’s important to be in a squad who wants to grow up”.
“He will improve and at the end he could be a very, very complete player“.
Since the start of last season, Jamie Vardy has more Premier League assists than any other forward (9). I think tomorrow, he’ll be fine for the training session’.
The last time they met at King Power Stadium, Tottenham won 2-1. The quality of their players is very high. The striker has not had the best pre-season and is still making his way into the league, but the team need him to fire on all cylinders as soon as possible to keep their top four hopes alive. It’s a little bit of a shame because I think we dominated the second half.
