Match Threads Chelsea vs Spurs - Match Thread

[ackie]

I like the positivity but it's a bit early to know whether GLC or Bergwijn can produce anything like the consistent goal threat of Kane, Son and Eriksen. Fantastic players though and great signings.

I think one of Moura or Bergwijn will have to sit out the start of this match. I would be surprised if either had it in them to start a 3rd match in a week.

Indeed those three were a major threat to our opponents. Irreplaceable Imo.
You are right but it's in these sort of games that we really need a shrewd manager and the players to up their game.
Chelsea have had time to recover and to plan this match. We're playing out 3rd game this week with injuries to important players in specific positions.
Here's hoping...

Yes, you`re right. But I dont think Mourinho knows what`s strategically right to do now with our current available squad. He is testing it out. Probably and hopefully he has some more clues now after the Leipzig game, but probably he will need some games to find "the perfect line up and strategy without Son and Kane". But, yes, I thnk it it possible to find that recipe, but Parrott and/or Sessegnon might be a part of that "perfect team", and if Mou refuses to use them now, it could be that he never finds that perfect strategy and line up until Son is back on track..? I`m just speculating..

I admit that I'm surprised that he doesn't play Parrott. He has given Sess a go but imo he hasn't done too well to merit a start. He's played Stevie and tanGanga and has admitted he's been impressed with GLC.
He seems to be slowly finding his players but fatigue is a major concern with all our injuries.

Its our lack of goal threat mate, draw at best I think, really think we're fucked now with both Sonny and Kane out...shame really as the season could've ended on a high after the disastrous start.
I'm as optimistic as the next next bloke but this is just realism kicking in.

I reckon he might give a chance to Skipp and Parrott soon. He'll need to...

Not looking forward to this, think we'll get beaten easily.

Mustn't lose
rather than must win
which will suit Jose's
basic instincts.
Could be ugly
especially if Eric starts.
Two red cards rating.

5-0 spurs, lets shock the world.

So far this season we've been pretty awful when we start with 2 in CM. Chelsea will exploit that if that's how Mourinho sets us up. IMO, 3 in CM gives us much more balanced coverage of the key areas and gives us much better options to play football and find angles for passes. It would also cut out some of the panicky hoof ball from the back that has been such a feature this season. Midfield of Winks, Gio, Ndombele/Gedson might give us enough control to get into the game. So, double pivot it is then.

I don’t see they’re amazing especially without Kante, more concerned about our shortcomings tbh

Yes it is going to be a difficult run in to the end of the season

Was always decent going away there. You know which one tops the list for me but it’s still good going to the bridge..

Fulham, he loves those away days on the banks of the Thames.

Millwall?

What a draw that would be ?.

I hope Mourinho pins that tweet from chavs account showing top 12 when we were 13th

That should be motivation enough
