Match Threads Spurs vs Chelsea - Match Thread

I suspect Jose knows this too. The thing which gives me a little bit of hope is, Jose is playing Dier out of necessity. He’s subbed him off twice in the first half now so he clearly thinks Dier is having a shocker. Dier is getting found out very quickly.

He doesn’t think Sissoko is a central midfielder. So again it must be out of necessity.

Winks is behind Dier and Sissoko in the pecking order. Which says it all for me and I’m glad Jose doesn’t rate him.

NDombele has been injured.

Now the question is who will Jose sign and will he be given funds? It is critical that we sign a DM. We
Will achieve absolutely nothing with those three wasters in CM. Dier is league one level nowadays. Sissoko is not good enough technically and winks is not good enough either. If any one of those continue to start in CM we are screwed.

Who on earth at spurs let it get this bad that our CM consists of Sissoko Dier and Winks? Was Poch genuinely happy with that?

1,000% spot on mate

Jose just found out a good deal more about some of the characters and 'quality' in this squad....

Gazzaniga is a fool. As is Aurier. Both simply not good enough to play for a team aiming for Top 4 in the Premier League.

Rose and Vertonghen are past it. Time to dispose of both ASAP.

Dier appears incapable of finding his old form.... Not sure whether it's time to give up on him completely, or is there any possibility that he could improve in a different role? (Remember his first game for the club when he scored twice from right back....)

Eriksen... we've all said it many times before... If he doesn't want to play for the club then don't give him the shirt. Same for any player.

Either way, without reinforcements in January, this team are going to struggle to finish in the Top 6. It's a long shopping list and not sure whether we can obtain the necessary players by the start of next season under the current transfer regime.

• Defensive Midfielder (it's been a major need for some time)
• Play-making 10 (of the same quality as the 'old' Eriksen)
• Right back
• Goalkeeper (even when Lloris returns, it's obvious that he isn't the player/leader he once was)

We will almost certainly will need to get rid of some, if not all, of the deadwood first. Problem is that the value of those players is falling significantly with every game that passes.

I live in hope.

This.

Why is the racism thread locked? There is what looks like a genuine witness statement which is exactly how I thought it was

Too many melts ruining it with EDL bollocks

Wasn't sure where to put this but apparently no evidence can be found to support Rudiger's claims.
