Match Threads Spurs vs Chelsea - Match Thread

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Beat stick is coming out for Mourinho. Disgraceful. Granted not the best games in both against United and today first 45mins, the players are just doing him a great disservice with such half-hearted performance.

He deserves it, the formation is shockingly shite.

Dier hooked again.......hopefully it's the last time JM puts us through that shit show of a midfield

 

[bozzaSPUR]

What's the betting that fucking Microphone Head will net a hattrick? **** - I hate him.

I agree f****** t****r

The team is set up really badly. I totally understand why Jose picked it first few games and it worked. But against any half decent side who have prepared the lopsided 4-2-4 won't work. We need to take off a forward and play Ndombele or Lo Celso. We need to take off Sanchez, move Verts to CB and play a proper LB. And then we need to buy two proper top class FBsas ours are a joke.

People are seriously digging out Sissoko?

Our front four have been pathetic, defense shocking, Gazza made a huge error. Dier looks like he is running in sand.

Some people have no clue

Can't defend that CM setup surely?

Eriksen... Fuck off

I'm at the game and I wish I wasn't. Jose's long ball/only one full back tactic completely found out. As most would have assumed against a good team. Chelsea not even fantastic but we have been so bad. Need big changes.

No Tottenham player is taking charge of anything including most of our stars...

Only just seen the pen incident. What the fuck?!?

Like Souness just said, why did he not just catch it?

Lack of bravery. Catching it may have meant being clattered. Very frustrating. But Gazza is back up keeper for a reason and it's unfortunate our first choice (who also wasn't playing that well to be honest) is out for such a long time. I do think Gazza is an adequate back up, it's just one of those things.

Eriksen ain't going to do shit. Ndombele is the only one that can keep the ball under pressure and drive through the lines.

Good to see you're positive.

We’ll score within the first 4 mins of the second half and it’ll be game on.

More likely to be an own goal. We won't score on them.

Look at us defending from the front. It doesn't happen. Look at how chelscum is doing, breathing down the neck of our front 4. Our front 4 basically let chelscum defenders play through them so easily. And they are only 3 of them in most occasions.

True

 

[wirE]

We must try and salvage a point here today. Dreadfull first half

 

[thecook]

Fair play to Jose, he's not afraid to make a change

 

[Gbspurs]

Awesome. I look forward to Eriksen strolling around like he’s visiting a national trust property.

Dier had so much space first half. If Eriksen gets similar he will do well.

 

[seppo]

This is the typical post 2015-Mourinho game - no systematic building from the back, instead we have Sanchez, Gazza and Toby pinging 70-meter passes that reach their destination every 10th try, lack of movement, Dier and Sissoko turns with the fall like freight trains, passivity, lack of tempo and just overall confusion - I'm absolutely bricking it as I honestly don't believe he's had the 'renaissance' many seem to believe. It will be an extremely tough 2-3 years if that is indeed the case.

Un in spired

 

[Ronwol196061]

Eriksen will get hold of the ball so that's good

 

[OPModric]

I'm fine with Sissoko but other than that I completely agree with you. Dier is a medium talent that maxed out his ability around 3 years ago. Why he continues to play is a question only Mourinho and his massive ego can answer.

Im fine with Sissoko too. He is trying and running.

System isn't helping them to be fair. We aren't playing as a unit. None of the players are close enough to each other in the right areas.
