Match Threads Spurs vs Chelsea

[southlondonyiddo]

We have a defence! Praise be.

VdV has great pace but not great in the air and can get turned

Romero is a nut job, prone to flying in

Porro & Doggy can’t defend

but yeah, we’ve got our first choice defence that help the team further up the pitch as well

 

[deeyid]

Got too love that team coys

 

[CookieYiddo]

It's Chelsea so my confidence is still low but with the boys back ...i have perked up a little

Romero red card and VdV hammy in the first 20 minutes.

you’re not Spurs if you didn’t automatically think that instead of enjoying the news

 

[JayB]

I hope they haven’t been rushed back into the team like Odobert was

 

[Jamturk]

I mean, we can't really defend with Romero or VDV either but its nice to have them back nonetheless

I think it will give the rest of the team a boost in belief.

 

[muppetman]

In yet more positive news, I’m in out of the rain, have a cold pint and just had the chicken, leek and mushroom pie and it was decent!!!!

 

[soflapaul]

Well that starting lineup created emotional whiplash. Started at dread and now at hope.

 

[Jamturk]

I hope they haven’t been rushed back into the team like Odobert was

I would imagine they were always aiming to be back for this one.

Whether they're ready or not we'll soon find out.

 

[dirtyh]

Hope Romero smashes that prick Jackson. Coys.

 

[jondy1]

Feel strangely optimistic that we will win today

That was pretty much my first thought when my mate sent me the lineup.

Feels a bit of disrespect to Dragusin and a bit rushed to get both VDV and Romeo back. I really hope we have not just rushed them back when not fully fit.

 

[spurs mental]

Is it? He was massively at fault for the goal v bournemouth

Romero has been at fault for many goals this season.

Dragusin has shown he's capable, he was flawless vs City.

Hope the fans don't get on their backs while they find their feet after being out for a while. Would expect a few hairy moments in the first half playing out from the back.

Team looks good but there have been some long lay offs so they'll be rusty. Bench looks decidedly weak too. No expectations for this one.

 

[Dr Know]

I hope they haven’t been rushed back into the team like Odobert was

Who? Is he a spurs player? 🫣

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Ange is under pressure to deliver results.

I don't understand the "disrespect to Dragusin" angle - he is not better than Romero or VdV, and while he is a good 3rd choice, nothing I have seen suggests he should be starting over either of those CBs.

Dragusin did what he is paid to do - fill in when a starter needs rest or is injured/suspended. He will be back in the line-up soon enough - and I would not be shocked if he finished the game out today.

We all know who to blame if this happens
