Match Threads Chelsea vs Spurs

[spurs mental]

Considering building Lego in the second half

Bet you'd be quicker at that than our build up play.

 

[mpickard2087]

Flaccid.

 

[Kirito]

A great player in his pomp, Son is just not a captain. And I’m questioning his continued position in the team. He’s done nothing of note, and has actually hampered us a fair amount. Not just tonight

Sonny always makes these kind of posts look silly. Again and again, season after season. Outperformed his xG again as well.

 

[Misfit]

I've no idea how the same squad of players can play one way at the start of the season and then produce this shit week after week as it winds down.

Pathetic from them.

 

[robhumphreys]

Please take son off. Don’t care who comes on

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

I would genuinely try putting Lo Celso on at left back - Royal is hopeless in possession and spends half the time in central midfield anyway

Son would not be any worse...


I probably just need to log off - I can feel the toxicity building inside of me from watching this crap.

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

Why is our captain so fucking soft and ineffective.

 

[Monkey boy]

Sick and tired of turning up to derbies like rabbit in the headlights. We know Chelsea, West Ham and the arse will raise their game yet it seems we can’t respond in kind without losing the plot.

pathetic mentality yet again.

 

[felmani26]

Can see Madders brought on at HT but honestly, you can make the case for several to be hooked.

More than anything we need an injection of belief we can actually get something out of this match

 

[Flobadob]

Really disappointed in Sarr in particular in that half tbh. He's capable of way more than this passive performance he’s putting in tonight. I was a huge fan of his performances earlier in the season but he’s really not been anywhere near that for a while now. There’s not a lot the lad can’t do and he’s shown that in the past but he’s playing with zero confidence at the moment

 

[Deleted member 13663]

Our defence is really proving to be less than the sum of it's parts at the moment and presumably that must be down to the coaching.

 

[Dakes]

Dr Tottenham has the right medicine for those Chelsea teens on their bench. They'll get the perfect easing in to PL football.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

We are definitely still in this game.

I agree. But I feel that we only have a chance when the players just abandon everything they’ve ben working on in training and just rely on natural talent and desire. That can’t be right, can it?

 

[Johnny J]

As we all look forward to what surely promises to be a rousing second half and the happiest of endings, why don't more managers sit in the stands? Surely they can't get a proper tactical view of the match at pitch level?

 

[chas vs dave]

Royal looks really out of sorts at lb.

I thought we've grown into the game. I hope ange gives them a rollocking at half time.

 

[idontgetit]

So what's the answer to having no control in the middle? Go three in the middle? Get Bentacur on alongside Sarr and Bissouma? Madison on for Kulu, as Madison will drop deeper and help link things up? Replace Emerson with someone more creative on the ball?

 

[KirstyG]

Ok. Just nipped in to watch a bit on small screen on my phone. Was almost caught by my husband. Although he had a notification pop up and I saw him smirk - rage surged through me but I held it in (ish). Ffs. Can we just do something. Chelsea fans are insufferable. But why we shopt ourselves in the foot all the time I’ll never know. All the promise at beginning of this season I was hopeful but it’s really feeling a bit sour.

 

[Metalhead]

I want to know what they're doing in training.

**** all by the looks of it.

How can you have only 1 game a week and be this poor?

That is the problem I think. Not enough games. No rhythm.

 

[jondy1]

every decision against us according to that ferret Neville is a goal,penalty or red card he must absolutely hate us

 

[jolsnogross]

This is rubbish football again, unfortunately. Our attack has evaporated as the season progressed. A whole half there with just 1 shot in anger, Romero's header. Just awful stuff playing nothing ball for such long periods.

Set piece defending gets the attention. But it's the lack of a purposeful attack that's fucking the whole team up. And the whole team, not just the forwards, share responsibility for that.
