Match Threads Spurs Vs Chelsea

[bsinghd]

Repeating to himself... Antonio wants a striker, Antonio wants a CM, Antonio wants a RWB, Antonio wants a Backup keeper...!

Conte wants a RWB, midfielder and attacker. Levy and Co will get Adama and say that he covers all three positions so job done!!

Nowhere near enough movement from our forwards when we had the ball. Second half was easier as Chelsea sat back but first half all of them were poor and gave the midfield very little to work with.

Desire and closing down was largely disappointing too. Lo Celso in particular was at less than full throttle on a number of occasions.

We need to remedy all of that on Sunday or I fear the worst.

One thing I've learned from 60 years of these NLD's is that nothing is guaranteed. It's all 'on the day' and coming off the back of a defeat such as we did last night, who knows, we might just click on Sunday. We fell off the horse last night. We must immediately get back on for Sunday.

Yes we can.

First bit of the post is great, 2nd bit not needed mate.

Don’t think our fans are spoilt just tired of the same mistakes and also some of them not being mean but don’t understand football to the deep level so might not always see the big picture, they will see it in time once FP & AC have had Jan and summer to sort out the squad we’ll be a lot
Stronger.

Spot on mate. Well said.

I'm afraid the reality of our situation is staring us all right in the face. Chelsea are on a different level to us at this stage of our new managers tenure, on a technical level. They keep possession far better than we do. They win possession far better than we do. They have stronger wing backs and a much stronger midfield who easily dominated ours.

I'm afraid to expect us to compete with them on an equal footing, when they're clearly good enough to challenge for the EPL title, is deluded. We're not there yet, but remember Conte has been with us just a matter of months and he hasn't had any opportunity yet to bring in any players of his choosing. But that will happen and very soon. Allegedly.

I hate losing to that bunch of ***ts but we can only do what we can do. The job ahead is to get to the same level as they are now, but Conte & Fabio must be given a chance to get their own players in and to coach them properly because God knows the coaching they've been receiving these last few years has been bloody rank, same as some of the recruiting decisions, but that's another story entirely.

Even so, I thought in patches last night we looked quite good with the ball, but those patches were far too short and too far between.

I'm as gutted as anyone else, but my heart still has hope that Conte & Fabio can and will make a real difference to us. Now, let's take our revenge out on the scum this Sunday!

I agree that they are a better side than us, the midfield in particular is worlds apart - we needed some luck and huge performances last night and over the two legs - the disappointing thing is that we gifted them their goals they didn't have to work hard for them and that's something we have to improve on.

I though last night overall we were ok couldn't understand the booing. I would have liked to be more aggressive and there was part of me thinking back to the time we beat them 5-1 and if you remember the Sheringham tackle really early in that game set a bit of tempo and though even since then football has changed I thought we were a little passive and that allowed them to play a controlled tempo . Having said that if you go gung ho against them you risk the chance of being blown away so who knows.

The second half in particular was quite good but when you are playing a top team there are some moments when you require that little bit of class or composure and there were a few moments last night when we had opportunities only to rush the final pass or cross. We all know the side is short in certain areas but there are reasons to be optimistic which we haven't had for a couple of years

Absolutely bang on mate.

Where was Bergwijn last night? Is he still injured or is he getting sold?

 

[topper]

Sorry, but no way he hides in there and isn't spotted straight away. His head will be the only thing shining.

Isn’t the Audi Cup big enough for Levy to sneak into?

You all need to watch this from 46 seconds to brighten your miserable day.

That's not very kind.

That's not very kind.

It is to all the Chelsea fans he was abusing. Race, sexuality the team you support, none of these are reasons to abuse someone.

 

[nedley]

And people wonder why some are frustrated with the fucking around of Traore. Absolutely no reason to not have got him in for this game imo.

Why not just go 352 with Gio?!? Tanganga is a walking disaster responsible for 3 or 4 of the last 5 or so goals against.
