Match Threads Chelsea vs Spurs

[Zippy1980]

Why is our captain so fucking soft and ineffective.

He never was the proper choice as a captain

 

[Trix]

15 set pieces conceded in the league now. That's abysmal isn't it.

It's 17 if you include the 2 home goals.

 

[rossdapep]

Surprise surprise another poor first half. The midfield pairing is not working.

It does go to show though that Ange isn't happy with it and we need reinforcements.

I think other than Bentancur, our midfielders need time and space when asked to be progressive.

We need some real intelligent players there.

 

[faze_coys]

Johnson has to have a tighter touch there on the dribble. He’s had very few opportunities to beat Cucurella and he should be taking every single opportunity to go past him 1v1 because he’s a terrible defender in those situations

He’s making him look like prime Cafu

 

[Fredo]

We're a clown team thats what we are

 

[TC18]

Anonymous? He living of scraps, if that. The service had been diabolical. Only reason Johnson looking decent is Porro keeps releasing him quickly and when he in space.

Come on, don’t make excuses for him. He is club captain, supposed to be world class and playing in a London derby. Go make something happen.

 

[Impspur1]

We look so short of confidence all over the pitch.

 

[Cavehillspur]

Kulusevski has to do more in that position. Lo Celso would demand the ball.

Son is up against a rookie and ... no runs in behind, no dragging him out position - nothing.

Yeah feel Son was hiding that half, so so poor.

 

[thecook]

carney looks liek shes been on the meth

 

[Dakes]

We are definitely still in this game.

Only because the 95 minutes aren't up.

 

[mattstev2000]

They've got an entire team, including subs, out injured and they comfortably out played us in that first half.

 

[LannerSpurs]

The only good thing that's happened this half is the rhubarb cider I've discovered this pub sells. It's fookin lush...

 

[Wadec]

Why? Interested

Elite finisher but needs space in behind to utilise his pace. Doesn't work as a CF as it negates his strengths in a possession heavy system that requires wide players to hug the touchline and create.

Don't get me wrong I love the man but if we want to back Ange we have to get him players who suit his system.

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

We need to buy some nasty bastards in the summer. We’re soft and timid

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

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

"PL football" is a bit of a stretch.

 

[Kirito]

Levy needs to get the chequebook out and sign a set piece coach

 

[jezz]

Royal off Rad on. Mickey left back.
Kulu off Gio on
Biss off Bentuncur on.

 

[Hawk_Spur]

Poor first half but not out of it. Confidence really low.

Hopefully see Gio on for Kulu but think he’ll drag Bissouma or Sarr instead.

 

[Oscar22]

Can’t imagine Bissouma comes out for the second half does he?

 

[h2005]

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.

The only hope I have for this game is that Royal launches Madueke into the stand.
