Welcome to the Spurs vs Chelsea Match Thread! COYS!

Feedback on the new Match Centre setup would be useful as we're still tweaking things

The main things you'll see are having the info (date, ko time, score, etc) above the thread as well as links to the lineups when announced.

All of BulletSpur's great pre-match buildup will be in it's own Overview tab.

I'll be delighted with a point from this to be honest. If we defend like we did against city but add the wildcard nature of Tanguy we could even nick all 3.

I've got a horrible feeling we are going to be on the end of a spanking though.

 

[daveduvet]

Reckon if we dig in, and play out of our skin then a draw is possible. Unfortunately I see a spanking too

 

[tototoner]

I think we'll be lucky to get 0 points from this game

 

[Saoirse]

Chelsea at home? We'll fucking smash 'em. COYS!

 

[Doctor Dinkey]

Going to this tomorrow and sadly not looking forward to it at all. The last two visits of Chelsea in the Prem were horrible and I expect this to complete the hat trick in style.

 

[Haddock]

Hopefully we’ll be more focused and fired up considering it’s a ”big match” and a derby.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

We’re all not expecting much, so let’s hope for some fight & effort atleast.

All ? on the line up as I think that will reflect on any increase / decreased optimism.

 

[yankspurs]

Is it just me or was there not a pre match press conference this week or any team news being released regarding injuries?

 

[Rob]

Presumably because we were training today?

Yeah just seems weird there wasnt a presser this week. Spurs released pre match team news that was just a rehash of Nuno's pre match Rennes presser with the added bit that we lost Lucas & Bergwijn to injury that match.

 

[JCRD]

Firstly kudos to the admin team and those mentioned with the idea - think this is brilliant.

Secondly, I genuinely hope tomorrow we actually give a performance that is not tepid and lethargic but one that is exuberant and with a bit more guts and everythign that the performance against Palace was not.

It is a long shot though but its not really about the result for me, i just wanna fucking enjoy it for once in my miserable existence (only miserable for a few months not like existence for ever)

Think a lot will ride on whether the quarantining players are back in the line-up or not.

Romero and Sanchez have had 10 days in Croatia to build a bit of chemistry and build fitness - if that's been effective and they start then I'll be much more confident about keeping Lukaku quiet. Similarly, having GLC back even if off the bench would be a big boost.

Other than that, I'd love one of Ndombele or Gil to get a start. If Lucas and Bergwijn are both out then I wouldn't be against moving Dele into the front three and playing Ndombele alongside Skipp and Hojbjerg. If Son is out too then add Gil to that rather than going to a back five.

 

[ajspurs]

If the South American players plus Dier and Son are all deemed fit enough to start I actually think we can put out a team that could trouble Chelsea, problem is I really don't think we'll see it. Like others have said though, I came into the City game with a similar mindset to this one so you never know.

Either way, it's not a game I'm nervous for at all as my expectations aren't exactly high.

 

[Serpico]

Get nothing from this game unless we play at our very best. (Whatever that is) And then we need to fluke it. Chelsea are better than us on a bad day so not expecting us to get any result of any kind in the real world. It’s a shame we have injuries and our so called best forward in the world can’t be bothered. Happy days.

Just got a ticket on ticket exchange , despise this lot COYFL

Cant seem to vote for a massive Spurs loss in the poll. Probably just as well I suppose. (Android tablet)

 

[wrd]

We’re gonna win easily and people will get to post bad photoshops of Nuno cupping his ear Jose style

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

I have no expectations today. We’re miles apart. That said I’ll almost certainly moan my arse off when things start fucking up because I can’t help myself.

Shame really, because a few years ago we really knew how to take a game to Chelsea
