Lucas has to be sitting there utterly befuddled. He was our biggest threat against WBA, drew two yellow cards within minutes of coming on, and somehow hasn't gotten a look in while Sissoko is given a start.

Too slow and ponderous. You need to catch managers like Benitez off guard, not play into their hands and be predictable.
Eriksen is trying to get the game by the scruff of the neck but he needs someone else to be more fluid alongside him.
We may as well put Toby in midfield tonight - at least he has vision. Siss simply can't engineer anything unless he has space in front of him.

To be fair to Poch his options are very limited in the middle so he is handicapped slightly.

A must win game and they actually serve up this. Fucking atrocious. Can we get any worse? The skill, technique, mentality and passion have all left this team. No leaders. Tired. Lethargic. Nothing. Dead.
Some of us feared this and now we’re all seeing it with our own eyes.
For fuck sake Tottenham get your act together and win this....COYS??

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

I disagree. Yes Wanyama is still off the paces, but based on top form, Wanyama is a much more well rounded player in the destroyer role.
Sorry mate, but this Wanyama is not the Wanyama of last season. Today, and in some games he has played, he's so fucking uninterested.

This game highlights exactly what we miss when Dier doesn't play. He's much quicker than Wanyama to move the ball. Eriksen is having to come deep to get on the ball because of it.

Absolutely fucking awful.
Chelsea losing though.
Don't panic,
I would if I was Poch. Get Kane off, Son up front Moura on
Sissoko off, someone from the crowd who brought their boots, on
Sod it someone from the crowd in carpet slippers.

We do tend to look tired across the last few games of the season. This is garbage beyond measure but definitely over this and the leicester season we dropped off.

We start the season slow and generally end the season slow. But the performance is nothing new. It's happened a few times at home this season. We struggle to break teams down that are organised. We often have had to rely on a piece of magic from Eriksen or Kane.

We could do with his energy and close dribbling. Poch will then sub him in at the 85 minute marker coz Poch.
