Casemiro has actually been pretty good lately

Amad looks lively, would be good to see him score

What do you make of some players moaning about too much training in that article posted in the ETH thread, some of the older players wanted more rest/different training, wonder if he needed it?

Surely it's all done on stats and science these days? Recovery and performance etc

good to see Ruud bringing on some youth players, like Hojlund and Evans

Tough to say from the outside really. Always have to bear in mind that things like that are always going to leak from the players that are unhappy. Don't think it was Casemiro, sounded more like Varane. Eriksen seems to have been playing multiple games a week just fine this season.

Foxes starting to foul now

Honestly, Zirkzee looks like we've asked the cleaners friend if he can stick on a shirt to make up the numbers. He's woeful.

He isn’t a target man though, he is a link up type of player. If you don’t play him to his strengths then it’s not surprising

Bit of an all over the place game. Not much happened in the first half then it was end to end in the second half. A couple of really nice strikes from Gakpo and we're into the quarters but it's difficult to be that bothered about the League Cup until the final.

WERNER nooooooooooooooooooooo

How the hell can he make pace, get into positions but CANNOT FINISH. (exception earlier)

 

[Liquid_Entity]

how many chances are we gonna miss

 

[BaZ87]

If Spurs don't score another soon then I think @Nemm is going to be posting a picture of his finger nails in the now eating thread.

The specific complaint was that senior members of the team weren't treated any differently from the youngsters when it came to workload and after hard games that they didn't perform in, the manager would then make them do extra hard training which just exacerbated issues.

Comfortable game against a pretty poor Leicester side. The quality of the likes of Bruno and Casemiro shone through.

Yeah Bruno is usually so restrained lol.

Only managed to catch the second half but both teams dire…
