We have emphatically not been the better team in the first half, but we have shown the mental strength, the ruthlessness, the defensive organisation and the finishing ability to merit out 2 goal lead. Chelsea have passed beautifully and mainly defended well, but two slightlapses have led to two Spurs goals.

But WTF are Rose asnd Dembélé doing getting involved in brick-loaded handbags when we're in control? We have committed way too many pointless fouls and we already have 3 yellow cards, which suggests, given the level of intensity, that someone will collect our first red card of the season in th second half. I hope we have a 3rd goal by then...

Big praise for Lamela and Eriksen for their calm control in timing the passes for their assists. Pochettino has asked Kane and Son to play on the shoulder and run in behind tonight, because Terry and Cahill are not especially quick, We have 2 goals as a result.

I think we can still beat Southampton and Newcastle with a midfield 2 of Mason and dier.

Hopefully. Newcastle we definitely should but Saints will be tougher. Dembele bossed Wanyama in the reverse fixture at St.Mary's.

chelsea are such a small time muppet club...remove the billions and they'd be nowhere. their players know they can't beat us or even keep the intensity for half of the half ...u can see they sent costa out to rile us and get under our skin. Unfortunately, our players fell for it and the dumb arse referee has tried to be the centre of attention from the get go..fucking clutzenburg. I hope we score 3 more and such these fucks and their plastic fans up ...

Ahh man we gotta keep our heads ffs! Dembele gonna get a retrospective?! Jeez come on boys we are winning this, dont throw it away ffs!!!!
Fair if he does get a ban but I presume Costa will too for his head push and genuinely being aggressive?

Same with Huth right?

I'm all for consistency

If both Walker and Rose get through this game without one of them picking up a red I'll be amazed.

Utterly stupid by Dembele.


Why are we lowering ourselves to these scumbags?

The game is out of control. BlueScum are just trying to get our players sent off

That has been their gameplan since kick-off. They know they can't beat us if they played a proper football match so they're baiting us to sink to their level and unfortunately a few of our players are taking the bite.

Basically were reacting to the the pressure of the game, this isn't how we usually are. It's not right, and Moussa's reaction was disgusting but I can understand why it happened, Costa fucks me off every time I look at him on TV, I'm nowhere near him on the pitch lolZ

I guess we should be grateful that we've still got 11 on the pitch. Hopefully HT will cool us down.

I know it's stupid from dembele and co and he will probably get a ban but how refreshing is it to see Tottenham Hotspur players actually caring that much!!
I'm angry and happy at the same time it's a weird feeling

I'm all for aggression, but we've lost the plot a bit. Can't see us keeping 11 on the pitch and Dembele is going to be banned. I know Costa is a ****, but that's just stupid from Dembele.

It's gotta be the pressure. I can't believe what I've seen and taken the shine off the score

I think Chelsea have been filthy before walkers card, spurs are up for this and are showing yes we have a dirty side, which is a catch 22 let's hope emotion does not get the better of but we still need to show we can't be pushed about, I am not defending our actions but when dembele looses it, then to me that's shows a) how much we want this and b) Chelsea are scum.

I was getting pissed off watching Kane get fouled repeatedly then lamela taken out so I can imagine for them it must be hard, even poch lost his cool.

Great game to watch so far and we look good as usual. Needed half time when it came and a couple of our lads need to be careful. Delighted to see Son get a goal.

We need to keep our shit together in the second half all we need to do now is play the percentages game. It's up to Chelsea to come at is if they actually want to bearing in mind they have bugger all to play for.
