Match Threads Spurs vs Chelsea - Match Thread

[Marty]

Yay to the PL for once again differing from UEFA protocol.

The biggest concern for me is the constant line coming out from the club that we don't need to spend money and Jose is happy with the squad!! How the fuck can he be happy with that squad!

Alli has been our best player since Mourinho came by far but today he was pance,as Son,Moura and Kane all were too
Sissoko actually was one of our better players today (its not saying much) but NDombele was brilliant when he came on

Thought Alli was totally and utterly dreadful against Wolves and against West Ham he did nothing at all. Alli will still have a few good games but I personally don’t think he is very good.

I thought Sanchez did quite well

When Chelsea took there foot off the gas
Lets not kid ourselves, if Chelsea wanted it could have been a hiding

You’re right, brexit is the cause of racism in a stadium full of 90% labour and remain voters

Shit I don't belong then! Supported Spurs since I was seven (1961) - when I was old enough to watch Grandstand on a Saturday afternoon and then stay up a little bit later on a Saturday night to watch Spurs. I voted Conservative last week and want out of the EU but apparently my support is both not valid nor wanted! Happy Christmas!!

 

[fuzzylogic]

Christ are we doing politics here? The fact of the matter is that if you are a racist yer a fucking idiot. We are all equal and the same no matter what. As a club and a supporter it's actually very embarrassing. The people responsible have let us all down with their views. Hopefully they will be found and banned as there is no excuse what so ever!!!

 

[Spurus]

I tend to agree with you but that’s not how it will be portrayed in the press. Will will make every headline, every back page and probably in every country.

I feel quite positive that the headlines will not be “a few racists at Spurs”

I've had a look on social media at the reaction, and especially twitter, and it seems to me Chelscum and Arsenal fans are using this to make us look worse as a whole.

 

[bozzaSPUR]

When will people get it Pochettino had been crying for changes for the last two years -for us to send players out and refresh the squad he’d got 5 plus years out of many and it was time for Levy to back him especially when they down tooled.

Levy bottled it and went for the cheap option thinking a desperate Mourinho could work miracles.

Hardly the cheap option!

 

[BuryMeInEngland]

So I guess we’re not winning the league now? ?

The Fair Play league? No probably not.

 

[worcestersauce]

Just to add insult to injury my train pulled out as I got let into the station.
I'll be interested to see the red card again it happened right in front of me and Son definitely caught him in the chest but it didn't look malicious,Son had been knocked flying and was upside down and it looked to me like he kicked up to swing his balance back rather role over his head. Whatever the truth Rudiger played it for all he was worth andd got Son sent off.
That said we were never really in it, much better when Eriksen came on then it all turned to shit.

 

[adamsky]

Is not just the mentality, we have a right side of the pitch that has Sanchez, Aurier, Sissoko & Moura. Which of those can you bank on being technically good enough under pressure. They are all capable of a good game but we have seen it too many times when they can’t pass a ball between them. Throw in Dier and a wasteful Ali and you have over half of the team that are not what you would call possession footballers. The teams balance is all wrong, we desperately need players who want the ball and look to pass forward. A couple of these and the aforementioned players suddenly wouldn’t look so bad

 

[Wsussexspur]

The fan(s) will be found and banned for life and rightly so, but giving Chelsea the moral high ground is the real kick in the gut.

The banning for life doesn't work by the way! At the old WHL I had this moron (happened to be that same guy who was all over the internet and papers doing coke on the pitch at the last game at whl) who used to sit in my row who was banned from the ground (or so he clamed) any way he came every home game and saw him at most away games I went to as well. He just got a season ticket in someone else's name

Alter their contracts to pay on wins only.

Not for you per se, but does anyone honestly believe Mourinho does not think we need to sign players or would have come to Tottenham if he could not sign players short term or long term?

 

[spurs mental]

That was abysmal again in a big game. It's like no manager will ever fix the mentality of this lot no matter what they've done. Perennial nearly men.

Mental isn't it. We haven't had a right side of defence this poor since the days of Chimbonda and Hutton, we have central midfielders who are either chronically unfit, still adapting to the league, want to leave or are not good enough on the ball.

Upgrades are needed ASAGDMFP.

 

[Sir Henry]

I actually feel sorry for Jose, I genuinely think he inherited a good team lol. He's not a stupid manager but he's giving that shower of shit waaaay too much unwarranted praise.

 

[sebo_sek]

In theory we should be getting 9pts in our next 3 games.

 

[ardiles]

Wonder if Toby is now regretting signing that new contract

Edit : it was a joke.

It possible Mourinho was not comfortable so much in Ndombeles fitness or reinjuring his groin etc to not have played him ealier. But Ndombele shows just tremendous control and class. His presence in a game will create space for the others. Mourinho in hindsight left it too late to put him on. We have no real time to get into a flow which we probably would have had he played from the off
