I know people want to hate on Pauli, but he was playing deep where he was told to play. The first goal came because Davies backed off their winger for 30 yards allowing him an uncontested cross. The second was also due to poor defending. I dont understand ow Paulinho gets the blame for that.

Well, I did say I'd take anything take would take us through, and it doesn't get much more crazy than that.

I'm a big fan of both Walker and Vorm BUT there's got to be questions asked...

We were absolutely cruising then, a couple of minutes before their first goal, Dier hesitated over a clearance (waiting for a call from the Keeper) and both Walker and Vorm absolutely tore into him - when it looked to me like it was their mistake rather than his.

Minutes later they score. And Walker tears into Dier again - even though it's HIS man who is left free to score.

Reckon there's some bullying and scapegoating of the youngster going on. Not good. Not good at all. A defence that had been working pretty well, completely fell apart over nothing...
100% thats what i thought as well

Relief in the end. Should have been far more comfortable. We were poor after the substitutions. Paulinho and Townsend were awful. Walker's positioning and awareness is terrible. Davies needs to improve.

I'm hoping for a big clear out in the summer but Levy will need to take a bath on quite a few of our recent buys.
I just can't see Walker improving; I keep hoping, but he just makes consistent mistakes.

If that is the case, then Walker is a bigger idiot than I thought. We really need a proper right fullback.

People bitching because we struggled to get over the line against a league one outfit. People also bitching hat when our best player came off we fell to shit. People bitching because we are bailed out by the same 2 guys week in week out. Not good enough. Wake up and smell the coffee
Chelsea lost to League 1 Bradford at home. Stop thinking that we have the divine right to beat this teams with ease.

Regarding the Dembele sub, we don't know how injured he was.

When you say 'Wale up and smell the coffee', what do you mean? What do I need to wake up to?

It wasn't pretty in the end but we're Tottenham Hotspur and that is how we do things. We're going to Wembley. COYS! I am going to bed because it's 5am in Thailand

For the first time in actually giving up on Paulinho. Please sell this window.

You serious? I think he's an awful footballer and I struggle to workout how he has even made it to this level. And have thought that since last season when he had a run of games. Ok he did chip in with a few goals but overall I don't see what he offers the team. Has no pace, no vision, no fight, no passing ability, no engine.

Walker was an idiot for the first goal. If their guy doesn't score, it's very possible that they get a pen and he gets sent off IMO. His positioning was bad as well.
