Match Threads Spurs vs Chelsea - Match Thread

[Mr Pink]

Because it's a derby and everyone knows form means nothing in a derby. Chelsea have the quality to punish any sloppiness at the back, which we know we do have in us at times. Chelsea may not be the Chelsea of old, but they still pose a threat. Personally I see both sides scoring, so que a 0-0 incoming.

I think our recent record, particularly at home, has been good.

Add in the Jose factor and I think we're favourites.

Not looking forward to Sissoko and Dier v Kante, Jorginho and Kovacic.

Dele's going to have to put in a huge shift defensively you feel. Dropping into that no8 position.

I think jose might opt for leaving moura on the bench for sissoko. N'dombele and dier cm and bring moura on later in the game

First game at new stadium, couldn't be a team I'd like us to smash more either

Probably one of the hardest games to predict in a long time. Chelsea on poor form but very capable. Spurs playing more to their strengths but still far from their top form. Chelsea's midfield is scary while their defense its frightful. Spurs midfield is weak but our attack is scary. The one thing in our favor is that Jose had finally had a week to prepare the players and Frank is still learning thre ropes. 3 to 2 Spurs and first goal could be critical

We beat them around this time last year when they were in better form to move ahead of them in the league table. At the moment they're in poor form and can't defend for shit, no reason why we can't do that again.

From memory we were 2-0 up pretty quickly in that game, same again please. Ease the early nerves!

 

[Stamford]

I feel super confident of a win here

Must admit I'm looking forward to the game as opposed to feeling anxious, feel like these are the games we are paying Mourinho the big wages for.

Um... That was true up to the united game a few weeks back wasn't it?

That was an away match. The stat referred to home matches.

All the best to the team and management today hopefully a win against these would be a nice Christmas present.

Must win game today, not just to go 4th but to stop the rot against the bigger sides and start winning more of these fixtures

 

[dickieven]

Excited for this, getting up to 4th after where we were a month ago will be pretty amazing. Will be a tough game but hopeful we can sneak it. Interesting to see Jose's midfield for this one.

 

[Spurs2020]

a game we should win based on each teams current form but Chelsea is always tough

 

[RichieS]

I think, given the relative strengths of the two sides, our CM will be tasked with doing nothing other than defending.

I just can't go into any game feeling confident when our CM pairing is Sissoko and Dier...
