Match Threads Chelsea v Spurs, match thread.

[theShiznit]

Need to stop playing a pass into congested areas. Far too many passes went up top to a player surrounded, if you do that you need other bodies closer to that player but most of the time they're 10 yards away.

Having said that last ten we've started to work it better. Stay tight, don't concede then turn the heat up.

If they're sitting in though the only non congested areas are going to be centre backs or keeper.

I don't know about you but I don''t fancy a game of two touch between Toby and Sanchez

Spaces should open up for our forward players from 55 minutes onwards.

The way he saunter around still pisses me off, regardless of whether he pops up with the odd winning goal.

Remember when Modric was leaving and he had a fantastic final season, something to really remember him by. I'm not getting that from Eriksen.

Modric was twice the player Eriksen is though.

Results around us really aren’t going our way. We need to step it up in the second half and test their fitness.

 

[homer hotspur]

Survived the early pressure, which was to be expected after the final loss and at home to us. Grew into the game after that, 0-0 at half-time. This is certainly winnable from here.

Their bench looks potentially dangerous, ours not so much. Our match winners are on the pitch

There are players out there. Obviously want him to stay but he IS replaceable.

Not for what we'd be willing to spend imo.

Light interlude for you guys.
I've post this on a few other threads but it may lighten the mood in here.
The club I coach u11s team for just got ball launcher device. The first test was a success lol.

That boy's got some reaction speed!!

Rose on at some point around the hour mark, reckon he would have a fun time on the flank the way we've been getting forward and his crossing is dangerous.

Be tempted to get Llorente on for the last ten minutes as well, depending on how it's going. He's looked more confident recently and we're not shy of a cross so far tonight, so put him in for Son when his battery runs out.

0 shots on target and only 1 off target... Need to create better chances and hit the target!

How does that work, Kane had a shot deflected for a corner and Winks hit the bar?

 

[riggi]

Holy shit these yank adverts are killing me

 

[slartibartfast]

Getting on top towards the end of the half, should be having more pot shots at Willie.

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

Lol the fuck man?

When Trippier plays, Sissoko plays better. He seems to know exactly what his job is, ie boss the middle & cover for Trippier when he's up the pitch. Simple.

When Aurier plays, no fucker knows where he's going to be, or what he's going to do. Sissoko has to concentrate on his own game, but also constantly monitor Aurier.

Burnley was his worst performance for ages, it's not a coincidence.

I'll win you all over in the end.

Shame about half time, they wanted the break a lot more than we did.

(That's the spammiest post I've ever seen tbh)

They will tire after playing and losing on penalties after 120 minutes of football Sunday evening. We had a day's extra rest, and in any case we have one of the fittest squads in the league. That's why we get so many late goals. The chance(s) will come, I believe.

 

[Springerding]

Not a bad game so far, we have grown in the last 20 mins, I hope Poch has a word with Sonny and gets him to close down quicker, he has been jogging towards his man half the time,

Harry seems sharp considering but has got 2 n 3 players on him quickly,

I think someone should have a word with Mariner at half time but that said he did let both Llamela's go even thought they were good challenges but at full speed a weaker ref could have booked him when the crowd put the pressure on.

i'm having a little Winks love in atm

 

[nedley]

Nothing wrong with the effort on the whole that half. Cannot allow a drop like Saturday.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

I wish there was a super disagree button.

You can synthesise one. You just type ‘ I super disagree’.

 

[StevePil]

Come on lads, huge 45 coming up.

 

[slartibartfast]

That boy's got some reaction speed!!

Believe it or not he was a fairly good goalkeeper. Played for Lowestoft Town. Big headed fker though so I was delighted with that video lol. Btw that ball was doing 55mph

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

Lamela looks really slow

Bit harsh mate. I'd admit he looks a bit lesbian-ish, but not slow.
