Match Threads Spurs vs Chelsea - Match Thread

[StevePil]

Mate its because Aurier decided to ignore him for the first and gazza practicing his karate fit the 2nd. Not because Willian is exceptional.

Fully agree albeit that was some strike!

Levy hates spending money on the football side.

F***in stupid comment!

 

[paulcumpstone]

am convinced poch is still in charge, same rubbish tactics, swapping dier for Eriksen will have zero effect on this game, need to swap system to even have a chance of getting something respectable

 

[LDNYid]

Another early bath for Dier.

There's a clue for you somewhere Jose....

He’s lost it, whatever it was... Dier has to go - DM and RB have to be addressed as soon as possible.

 

[NEVILLEB]

I keep saying it’s the player recruitment and not the Managers at Tottenham. I’ve been saying it since Martin Jol got fired.

 

[Johnny J]

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

Just a shame his go-to sub is the player who doesn't want to be here.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

This is either going to work and we score at least 2 as they work 10x harder or we’ll get spanked. Hopefully its the former.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

The SC match thread is not the place to start the season of goodwill to all men is it

 

[LondonOllie]

And as we know, Chelsea are very likely going to heavily invest in players to improve their starting 11 in January.

What will we be doing? Anything? Our squad has serious limitations and I’m not one for spending money for the sake of it, but it’s blindingly obvious that if we want to try and maintain our top 4 status that we need to do some serious upgrading.

 

[Sevens]

I think that's a terrible sub. Let's hope I'm wrong! We'll need a disciplined DM on that field within the first 10 mins of the second half to stand a chance of winning.

3-2-5 formation

 

[Thenewcat]

That was utterly abysmal. Sissoko the only player not to embarrass himself. Having said that, that wasn’t a penalty. Alonso changed direction and stepped into the challenge. When they collide he isn’t running even vaguely in the direction of the ball

 

[Col_M]

Eriksen thinks he’s playing v a Sours midfield, not expecting to be challenged

 

[poc]

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

Your right but it’s Jose that’s at fault we shouldn’t be playing this game with that front four it’s a joke this was always going to happen we just have 4 2 4 with those players you cannot do that against decent teams it’s suicide.

 

[Hazelton]

This is the second time that Mourinho has taken Dier off early, he surely can't continue starting him.

 

[Gbspurs]

I know it's fashionable to hate Eriksen these days but if people think bringing him on for Dier changes nothing they are mental. He is 5 times the player Dier is and 100 times more creative even when he can't be arsed.

 

[bozzaSPUR]

I think that's a terrible sub. Let's hope I'm wrong! We'll need a disciplined DM on that field within the first 10 mins of the second half to stand a chance of winning.

helped win us three points against Wolves!!

 

[hutchiniho]

Aurier is such a dumb footballer. Just doesn’t think.
Please please please can we find a new RB in January?

 

[felmani26]

Aurier is just pure bantz today

 

[ikky]

idiot aurier, why foul him?
