Did well with the penalty shouts though. 

I get what you mean in regards to not being able to control a game. I've only watched since half time so not sure if anything happened first half. 

Well, both of them were so obviously dives that I’m giving him no credit for seeing those. 
 

Doesn’t control games at all. Let’s clear fouls go ahead, playing the advantage even though there is none. But on the other hand, he regularly blows for absolute nothing. Zero consistency around his decision making. Worst of a bad bunch.

Leicester need to get in a new keeper.

We do, but more pressing issues lie elsewhere in the side.

Need a new LB and a RW. 

Someone better than Soumare, too.

Kind of surprised Leicester didn't get rid of Brendan Rodgers & get someone in, like Tuchel perhaps, or whoever. Ok, they had improved from 20th, but they are where they are. And that still seems far removed from expectations. It's a frustrating place to be when most other fans think you're doing well..

But it is crazy Newcastle are doing what they are doing. With many sides still not really fully expecting it. With Eddie Howe & not having gone crazy with transfers yet. They just have done some. For a change. And equally that it looks like Leicesters bubble has well & truly burst as dramatically as it seems to have done.

Of the other 18 sides, there are an increasing number of sides expecting Top 4 style opponents vs Newcastle & an increasing number seeing Leicester as a possible winnable match.

If I was pulling for Leicester I imagine I'd be quite disappointed the manager is still there & wanting to hear what keeper is being belatedly brought in when the transfer window opens (if he's at fault again today)

Only caught the first half, we played well but didn’t create. Shame to lose a 2 goal lead, but also you need draws in this league to keep you away from a relegation battle.

Not a fan of the you let your country down chant, feels like the early 00s again with that attitude. The whole point of the current set up is a sense of togetherness, some England fans just don’t deserve success at any level.

Sigh. Nothing changed then. Come away pretty aggrieved not to win, dominated the second half, Kane hits the bar and has a stonewall pen turned down. Brentford didn’t really create much but edged the first half certainly. 

Same old Tottenham this season though and growing tired of Conteball. There is no way players like Bissouma should be shackled as they are. He looks so poor but that’s what he’s being asked to play like. The back 5 still the real weakness. Dier needs upgrading, Tanganga not good enough. Two defensive mistakes/lapses cost us there. Lenglet was excellent though.  It’s so frustrating watching these turgid first half performances, playing so far within themselves and not asserting ourselves on the game at all. There was more than enough talent on that pitch today to go and win the game comfortably but we are so slow and so sloppy until we give ourselves a mountain to climb every time.

Must admit for a new build kinda disappointed with Brentford’s new stadium, expected a lot more but it’s pretty average. And that pitch was an absolute disgrace today. Could tell there was a rugby game on it a few days ago but not fit for premier league football. Also that ref is the worst in the league.

No improvement at all since half-time.

Soumare continues to under-perform. So lazy and languid. Not actually sure what he does. 

Vardy has made a slight difference.

But it's still very much utterly crap from us.

Thought Bissouma was non-existent in the first, have been surprised really as he was earmarked as a Liverpool midfielder at one point. Don’t see why you play a back 3 and essentially two DMs, you could be some much more creative and dominant in midfield

He was terrible mate, didn’t improve much either. But genuinely do think it’s what Conte is doing to him. He should and could be running games but he’s not allowed to in this system. He’s still a very good player just cannot flourish in contes system. And yeah I don’t like it. Doesn’t play to our strengths at all and it means too many poor players in that back 5. But he’s so inflexible. Bentancur Bissouma could be brilliant if they were freed up. 

Toney is such a handful, not sure how you replace him when he’s inevitably banned

Every inch as abject as early season. Just like that the positivity vanishes. Disgraceful display and I'm sick of saying that. We can't just lose narrowly or be edged out, we have to totally shame ourselves.
