Chelsea Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[zubs]

Gutted yet so proud of the team.
Hazard coming on changed the game,what a player!
Can't understand how he was left out of the during the season.
Anyway we'll be stronger for years to come in MOPO we trust!

Well at least weve secured 3rd place unless we concede a lot and city score a lot next few games

we're 3rd at least, city play scum so if they beat them scum would have to overturn a 20 goal advantage, we're pretty much 2nd if we beat southampton or man city beat scum.

 

[hellava_tough]

Certainly we need to keep our discipline, but it may surprise some that the greatest teams in history could also be the dirtiest.

You don't get to 2nd in the league by not being able to mix it with the best of them, once in a while.

 

[Hoops]

Maybe just me but I was glad to see fight and passion, shows the players care and it hasn't always been the case with Tottenham.

We knew this would be a brutal game

It shows we have longevity. Thats the reaction I want when we lose, or are close to losing against our rivals. Hazard will learn to keep his mouth shut

Dier man'd up big time. We are blessed.

 

[nightgoat]

Lost our heads. Could've been down to 9 men. Secured 3rd but feel a bit empty.

And neither Terry's elbow or Costa's headbutt in the first half were penalised. If we go in 2-0 up at half time against nine men we win 3 or 4-0.

 

[LSUY]

Full credit to Leicester, they know how to finish teams off and that is definitely something we need to learn.

 

[thinktank]

I am not listening to any radio or watching any tv on the 'fairytale' until it all dies down.

All of the L'ster players went round granny-face's house to watch this game. He's probably letting them all have a go on his wife and pouring champagne on them whilst they drill her senseless.

 

[rossdapep]

I really hope all of the players and manager take a huge lesson from that.

When you're 2-0 up, you kill the game by doing everything simple and if you need to just knock it long then do it.

When youre opposition are kicking you, pulling you, pushing you, by all means stand up and puff your chest out...but don't react.

And seeing the opposition take joy in denying you the chance of victory, take that into your determination for future.

 

[Jamturk]

Walker proved today that he just can't deal with pressure.

He was awful, could have got sent off and went on to have a nightmare, he doesn't have the mentals.

 

[Mattspur]

Well, it was always going to be a long shot after the result against WBA but we gave it everything we had tonight and we came up against a Chelsea side who played their game of the season.

Have to say a big congratulations to Leicester. No matter how they've played this season its no mean feat keeping it up for 38 games and it is an amazing story for them.

 

[ClintEastwould]

Another chapter written in a distinguished history of failure.

We fuck it up time and time again.

I feel sick and I want to cry.

Me too, man. Angry also

But so are our players. That performance spoke volumes. We could have won 10 nil and Leicester would still have won the title because these scum bags would have just walked the ball into their own nets on the final day. I'm not glad that we drawed and we may have come across as sore losers but the title was already over and I'm glad that we took out our frustration on chelsea scum*spits* and showed them a taste of their own dirty medicine and then some. I felt the emotion in every late challenge.

That game was a roller coaster of emotions and one I will never forget. I hope we storm to the title next season but if we don't this season has been AMAZING.

We only need 1 more win and that is IF Arsenal beat City. Disappointing night but lets get some perspective.

I think they'll beat city and they got villa last game of the season.

 

[Phil-spur99]

Poch needs to sit in on that lesson. Mason for Son was not a good change.

And for that see also Mason for Lamela vs Arsenal at home. He is a player we can improve on in the summer.

 

[millsey]

Arsenal are going to finish above us now. Just gutted.

What are you talking about. We probably don't even need another point to finish above them

 

[BaFa94]

We only need 1 more win and that is IF Arsenal beat City. Disappointing night but lets get some perspective.

City are absolute gash.

 

[Ironskullll]

Our inexperience in these types of high pressure games really showing now

That's correct. It's not qu

Got to learn from games like this.

Chelsea have been getting in our heads since last week and it intensified tonight.

Had to comment because that's two sharp and correct posts from you in a couple of minutes. The fact that we lose leads - of course it's a weakness. Some might call it bottling but I associate that with fear and with caving in - I don't think this is bottling - this team still fights and shows up. They're brave but there's something missing that we really need. Things to learn and areas to improve. I don't think it's in the subs or in the half time talks. I think it's something tactical. Just before their first, Toby tried one of those sweeping crossfield balls that are often so penetrating but the game had already swung a little and had entered a phase where we weren't picking up the second ball. It just turned possession over at a time when we should have been holding onto it. You almost wanted AVB's team to re-emerge and just hold onto the ball for a while. As others have said, it's about on the field game management. Something to improve - something to learn.

 

[LSUY]

I fully expect Chelsea to start selling merchandise proclaiming how they won the title for Leicester.

I feel sick and I want to cry.

If you'd have been given second or third place at the beginning of the season you'd have taken it fella!
We've had a fantastic season in the league, big shame we flopped in the cups though.

 

[gushayes11]

That is the most disgraceful refereeing performance I have ever witnessed. That jumped up little fuckwit offered no protection to our players whatsoever and booked us for every little foul.

How the foul on Kane went unpunished in the build up to Hazard's goal honestly blows my mind.

The commentary was also sickening. Sky have disgraced themselves this season with the constant cock sucking of Leicester City.

I'm glad our players tore chunks out of those little rentboy ****s. What a tinpot, garbage club.

He could've sent off 3 of our players.

 

[kaz Hirai]

didnt handle the pressure did we?

Let's face it, whilst some of the yellows were tactical Dembele and Lamela did stuff they should have gone for and will be retro banned for.

But the turning point was their first goal, what a season Toby has had but he went missing to enormous cost. Someone like hazard is always likely to pull something like that out of the bag, when motivated, so we can't afford to present the opposition with such poor goals. Just like wba. Champions don't let goals in like that.

Not sure what team we can put out on Sunday, but we certainly need a point.

Nah lamela's was nothing. Just that past it git crying and throwing his toys around over nothing
