Chelsea Vs Tottenham: FA Cup Match Thread

[TheHood]

are you serious? they can bring on Costa, Hazard and Fabregas and we have N'Koudou, Sissoko and Janssen on the bench. We have a great starting 11, but that game changed with the subs.

Costa and Hazard are two of their best players who start virtually all of their games. Let's not pretend that these, Fabregas included, are their fringe players. And we had to get ourselves back into the game twice prior those players coming on You can deride our bench all you want, it still cost £60 million, not many teams can spend those sums on squad players.

When we win the league all of this will be forgotten

We didn't control the match, Conte wanted to play counter attacking football.

No doubt conte a better manager than poch. Poch will get there one day, just has to learn

 

[jonathanhotspur]

its his composure at the back which worries me too

With the ball at his feet, yes.

We didn't control the match, Conte wanted to play counter attacking football.

Excellent point.

You simply can't get away from the fact that the best defence in the league shipped 4 goals after a change of set-up and personnel at the back.

Also it's a bit embarrasing to fuck off home early.. what kind of message do the plastics think they are sending to the players when they look up and see our end is half empty? Or maybe swap thay scenario with one where the whole end stays, cheering and fighting on to the death.. which one do you think might have a positive effect on our players? Well done to everyone that stayed

Sorry it's sour grapes and a cop out.

Chelsea win things.

We do not.

We need to change that. If it means playing dirty sometimes, so be it.

Saying we have less resources or lose with style is like the person who got a C in the exam saying "yeah I know you got an A, but I didn't do any studying while you did loads!"

Kind of agree except for that metaphor, that's rubbish! We did not make the active choice to not get financially doped by a Russian billionaire's dirty oil money.

It's more like being narrowly outlifted by some meathead on steroids.

It's too simple to say we accept defeat too easily, especially since we've lost fewer games than anyone. And if you think Spurs bottled this game you're mental.

And it's too easy to say that it doesn't matter that Chelsea have benefitted from financial doping, or that it's a level playing field, because it fucking isn't.

I sincerely believe that if Danny Risecwas at left back instead of Son, the entire game would have been different. So not having the cash to stock-pile top-rate players in every single position will cost us the odd game. Denying that cash counts is nonsense.

It's shit to lose. Really heart-rendingly shite on days like today. But please don't confuse recognising what an incredible achievement it is to go toe to toe with Chelsea and to out-gun every other c***ing team in the country means we accept defeat too easily. Sorry, but that's just your frustration talking. I share the frustration but it doesn't blind me to how good our team is, and how much better it's going to get because of the way it's developing.

If you can't be proud of building the best young team in the country without having to resort to throwing endless pots of dirty money at everything that moves, I feel sorry for you.

It's not our fault, it wouldn't have happened if Abramovich had not bought Chelsea.

Are you suggesting we can't win the league?

 

[UncleBuck]

7 semi final defeats in a row. Wow to be a Spurs fan

As I said, we are proud of losing...until we shake this mentality, we'll always be bridesmaids.

What a total prat. What do you want? Shall we get on there backs? Give them stick? Boo at the final whistle? Shall we start chanting poch out? Levy out?

Jeez wake up you spoilt brat. None of the above will help will it? The best that can come from any of the above is that it disturbs oir progression and our best players start to look to move. They whole team would have been gutted and it would have hurt them all today. We have come a long way in a short time so what more do you want?
If you want to spout total drivel about how we should all be fuming at the the team/coaches/club then youre supporting the wrong team. Go support juve or madrid.

No its not like that at all.
I couldnt watch that shit Chelsea just served up.
If you can the go follow them.
We dont play that way.

Just answer me this, who do you think were the best team in that game today?

 

[mpickard2087]

He just has that little wobble in him for the biggest games, unfortunately. A mistake like that inside the first 5 minutes from your captain, your most experienced player, your spokesman. And isn't he the captain of France too?

Lloris should save it but unsighted, and was purely him planting his feet/shifting his weight and not being able to get back. We're talking split second stuff. I'd be concerned about that the freekick came from first I think Kane dawdling and getting caught on the ball, then a ball played forward that Batman was first to react to unchallenged, then Pedro is second to react and clean through on goal as our defence is caught square and sleeping. The first 15 mins we were second best, actually not even second best tbh, all over the park and clinging on.

 

[SEANSPURS1975]

Hindsights a wonderful thing but...
I love Pochettino like the next man.
He well and truly fucked up today.
Son left wing back. Lol.
Walker not starting. Lol.
There is no doubt we should have beaten that Chelsea team today... gutted.

 

[Graysonti]

Listen - happy with club and way going.

But on day - we gave them first two goals, the 3rd we didn't mark/close down and 4th the bloke will never score one like that again.

The lads worked there arses off but what can your do ?
