Tinfoil hat?,

Happens when you cook cod in it.

Is this really the strongest 11 we had available? A must win game and Sissoko and Victor in the engine room Is that really the best we could offer.

 

[SirNiNyHotspur]

if we can hold on for a draw Chelsea are 1-0 down!!!

 

[stevenurse]

Called it earlier that it would be so "us" for Chelsea to lose, but us not being even capable of the point we need to take advantage

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

It all went astray from Kane claiming that goal, it became all about him and less of the team.

Nah, we havent played well since the cup semi final. Was a huge blow to confidence.

 

[greaves]

Wow, Huddersfield - If only they could hold on to that

Huddersfield are us by proxy. But I fear a sucker punch. The Huddsucker Proxy...

 

[double0]

0-0 half time. Their keeper is player out of he's skin. I think I've seen this movie before

 

[homer hotspur]

Can't really feel too excited about Huddersfield when we look like we could easily lose. I will be if they're still ahead with 10 mins to go but am more concerned about us not losing to be honest!

I still expect Chelsea to win, probably with an infuriating late/lucky goal. It just feels so inevitable.

 

[Univarn]

Have you all not realized that by cheering for Huddersfield we're inevitably dooming them? Everyone ignore them! Pretend it is not happening. Do not send them our cosmic shittery waves!

 

[rossdapep]

I wonder if Poch is going to do a Harry and tell the players that Chelsea are winning.

Let's hope Huddersfield keep their noses in front!

Might not be a good idea!! Might make them more stiff!

 

[yankspurs]

He's looked like a right plodder the past few games. Surely it's not fitness anymore, what the fuck is wrong with him?

He's let the jokes of him claiming everything go to his head

 

[Sevens]

We look like we're in Preseason.

Sissoko off for Moura, Eriksen into CM.

We need a formation change. Either switch to 4-3-3 and Alli off for Moura. Or go 5-3-2 with Son off and Toby on. I know the second sounds like a defensive sub but I actually think it would open up space in the final third as there would be less players getting in each other's way.

But if we stick to 4-3-2-1 then I agree with your change.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Get Sissoko off, put Lamela or Moura on. Eriksen back into CM (with the help of Alli) and Get some control back over this game. It's a fucking mess, as bad, if not worse than the Watford shite. What the fuck is Pochettino thinking putting Sissoko into a CM2 in a game of this importance. It's the old "he'll be motivated against his old club" bullshit that wankers like Redknapp or Sherwood would pull.

If Son still hasn't controlled a single fucking ball within 10 minutes of restart, then he needs to fuck off sharpish too.

This game could be there for us, because Newcastle aren't exactly full on parked, but we are blowing it because of Pochettino's idiotic selections and tactics.

 

[OPModric]

Dele Ali worst player on the pitch, almost invisible

As always...

Wanyama Sissoko Alli in a midfield triangle. Poch must really hate creativity.

 

[KenTHFC]

0-0 half time. Their keeper is player out of he's skin. I think I've seen this movie before

We've barely troubled him tbh

 

[jurgen]

Ouch, those half time Kane and Dele stats..

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Not that bad???
It was awful. Just cannot believe how out of form and one paced the team is. He has options but he won't change it.

I agree it isn;t exactly the best of performances. But we have been attacking and probing. Some lead feet out there for sure, but it is far from the horror show that's being painted.

 

[TEESSIDE1]

You can’t make this up... if Huddersfield hold on we’ll be kicking ourselves if we don’t come out all guns blazing a win this bloody game

 

[glacierSpurs]

Guys, come on, are you lot really banging on Huddersfield to win for us? You know the script when comes to chelscum screwing us up over and over and over and over again..

We really have to do it ourselves given the initiatives...

God I miss Harry Winks.
