I was more referring to how much he currently looks like Pirlo with his beard. Not quite as thick but otherwise it's a dead ringer.

They had a grand total of two shots on goal (both good mind you) and otherwise did very little. I might be choked after the colour commentary gave them credit for "playing to win all night" when really they looked just over matched.
Maybe they were stronger earlier in the season? I don't really know how they've managed. Opportunity lost for Spurs though. They just couldn't get a goal despite all of their dominance, which is a recurring theme. Maybe considering they play Saturday and again Tuesday for the FA Cup reply they can press and sign a striker and get it over with?

That's how Leicester play though, almost rope-a-dope. Absorb the oppositions best shot and punish them with countering and late goals. And luck obviously too, but it really isn't too lucky when you have a guy so unmarked on a corner he has time to get his whole weight into the header.
