Match Threads Chelsea vs Spurs - Match Thread

[The Apprentice]

Llorente makes Janssen look like Berbatov.

 

[Bulletspur]

Not sure what Lamela is doing out there

Actually think take off Lamela and put Lucas on to run in behind.

Llorente can still be useful for set pieces etc.

What the fuck do you expect him to do when he has only the great Llorente for support? At least he is trying, we losing this has nothing to do with him. Take the fuck Llorente off, push Lamela up into his spot and bring Moura on. That is how it should have started in the beginning

 

[parj]

Lucas needs to come in. Nando is done for me. Offering nothing. We need someone who can carry the ball and inject some pace.

 

[thecook]

Have we even crossed the ball once? Pointless having Llorente on the pitch if we again don't play to his 'strengths', whenever the fuck they are

 

[nedley]

I guess this is the fundamental issue with us and the lack of spending. It’s effecting us now.

United and city have 6 forwards for 3 spots who could all be starters

Liverpool have 5

We have 3 in reality. 4 if you include Llorente.

 

[Grapo2001]

If Poch doesnt change something then I'm done with him. Fuck building a legacy when you choke at first serious step. Like always.

Take the three best attacking players out of any club and they will struggle.

Imagine Arsenal without Boomerang and Lacazette,

Chelsea without Hazard.

Liverpool without Salah, Firminho and Mane.

Any club would struggle to fill the void.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

On the evidence of that half we stand zero chance of making it through.

We’re going out with a pathetic wimper. That was absolutely dire

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Lamela has been decent I think, nice link up play. Winks has tried very hard.

Pretty much everyone else has been shite.dier and Llorente unsurprisingly look miles off the pace.

I agree, Lamela and Winks getting shit and I think they have been alright considering there is zero movement around them.

You can't be real.

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

Take any teams best three attackers out and they’d struggle. We’ve got nothing going forward. Llorente is well past it, like playing with ten men.

But you just know he won’t change it.

 

[Sevens]

Those who thinks Aurier offers much more than Trippier, think again.

I said it before. The less Aurier plays the better he gets in Spurs fans minds.

Awful keeping for their goal (if Lloris had done that he'd have got slaughtered). Davies, Aurier, Lamela and Llorente utterly atrocious. Dier rusty, Sissoko just doesn't look fit.

Neither Eriksen or Lamela seem that keen to be running beyond Llorente so he is slow and isolated.

Poch needs to switch to 5-3-2 in the second half. Moura on for Lamela, play Moura and Llorente up top and drop Dier into the middle of a back three.

 

[CarrickSpurgus]

Llorente has to get hooked, Moura needs to come on straight away, llorentes fault for the first goal and he's giving us nothing,why the fuck can't eriksen step up instead of hiding,can't see a way back tbh, hope I'm horribly wrong.

 

[Saoirse]

Why the fuck did we start Llorente? Again he does nothing. If a youth player was this bad in the U23s we'd be releasing him, this guy does it at senior level and gets two starts in a row.

 

[morris25]

First goal was lucky and Toby left hazzard totally in marked. Didn't need to concede either of those. Toby really going downhill

 

[YaBoo]

Lorente must be some player on the training pitch.

 

[Phomesy]

It looks as no one cares in our team.

Oh fuck off. Seriously.

We are running on fucking empty with tired unfit and out of form players. They are, if anything, trying TOO HARD which is beyond their physical capabilities at the moment and leaving us exposed.

But fuck off with the not trying stuff

 

[The Mourneview Ace]

Not reading through 30 pages but that was terrible. First goals in horrendous and the second wasn’t much better. Second best all over the park. Offering nothing up top. Good job there’s no one out there that could improve this team.

 

[ShaunL84]

Moura needs to come on for somebody. We need pace in the side.

 

[kaz Hirai]

The front 2 are having very few touches of the ball really.
This is when dembele is perfect

 

[theShiznit]

Not great but we can still get into it.

I played my first game of footy in about 6 months last night and my legs felt like they weren't mine, so I know how Llorente feels

Just not clicking going forward and a bit of a hot potato at times but I feel chances will come. Winks and Sissoko playing well.
