Match Threads Spurs Vs Chelsea

[slartibartfast]

Chelsea were massively underwhelming, really surprised they didn’t get themselves up for this one. Looks from the outside they’ve got a lot of players sulking who aren’t willing to pull their socks up.

They will have. You buy that many Billy big bollocks players so you cant play them all then they're gonna sulk.
Only way he turns this around is do a Ten Haag, drop those not putting in a shift (Mason will), pick you best 11 not 'your best 11 individuals' and stick with them. He's probably under to much pressure from above to do that.
Unprecedented car crash.
Great innit.

We also got a bit lucky with Silva going off injured. For all the signings they have made, they seem to lack leaders on the pitch.

No one was giving the players around them a bollocking, and that's why they are in the mess they are currently. No-one there who wants to leave everything on the pitch.

It's great to see.

A big win against a team that traditionally have the jinx on us. More important it was a win for a great team performance in all departments. The cherry on the cake was both goals were from by “one of our own”. Our next few fixtures are very winnable so we need to build on these last 2 wins to go on a good run to cement a top 4 place.

Yeah kind of funny that after spending 600m their most important player is still probably a 38 year old.

It doesn't matter now, because we won the game. But I was thinking about the Ziyech situation earlier. The referee had a yellow card in his hand (for Ziyech) after the foul on Richarlison. Then Ziyech slapped Emerson in the face and got a red card. But the clown changed it to a yellow card. Wasn't that his second yellow card and therefore a red card? What a clown referee haha.

You mean to tell me we're on last?! Pfft.

I really enjoyed watching that today and I can't say that about too many games this season. I know the cohesion in the final third is still lacking (neither wb's are suited particularly to the system) but to a man they were throwing themselves into tackles and playing with great intensity. I think all fans love that. Skipp MoM for me, great game lad. Royal deserves so much credit for the way he is playing. But as mentioned above, you can see the attacking role asked of him does not come natural.

Just watching the highlights and realised the ref had his card out to book Ziyech for the original foul on Richy. So at the very least he should have got 2 yellows

The card was out to book Havertz.

Ultimate twat more like. Been to war then?

Love beating those pricks

The card was out to book Havertz.

For what? The foul was by Ziyech

edit: just watched again. The card is in his hand and havertz is walking away having had zero involvement. The card was definitely for Ziyech

 

[DenverSpur]

Watch again. Havertz kicked Royal before the Ziyech foul. That was was why the ref got the card out but then it all kicked off. Havertz had no involvement in the ruck but got a yellow which was for the earlier foul.

The yellow that never happened was Havertzs kick out at Richarlison a few seconds before. The yellow he looked straight past Ziyech at Havertz

That’s pure conjecture. Ziyech commits a bad foul right under the ref’s nose and he gets his card out.

 

[DenverSpur]

Not going to get in a pointless argument but I suggest you have a look again at Havertz kicking Royal before the Ziyech foul.

Real Madrid have scored more goals in England this year than Chelsea.

One thing missing from that Chelsea team (apart from a striker) is guts. They’ve always had some nasty bastards in the team but this version seems so weak. Both Chilwell and Havertz visibly shrank when in proximity to Romero. I think I even saw Havertz apologise after Romero had flattened him.?

 

[davidmatzdorf]

Skipp may well be the best player we have produced since Kane.

Marcus Edwards says hello.

Then Skipp.

That was a fantastic win. I'm surprised to see people say that was a flat performance from Chelsea with no guts or fight. It looked like a bloody good London derby smash up to me and every 50-50 was keenly contested. And the most impressive part of Spurs performance was that physicality and aggressive challenging for every ball, and some sensible fouls. The ref did well to keep things under control and Ziyech's push in the face was a yellow, though you see those given. By not blowing up all the time for aggressive challenges, the ref played his part and Spurs didn't shirk.

Stellini has done and excellent job and makes sensible selection and tactical decisions. Hopefully the dynamic won't change too much when Conte comes back....if anything it would be great to have his come back help us kick on from here.
