How amazing will it be if we can go the whole season unbeaten at white hart lane in our last season there. Will be the perfect send off

Brilliant!!!!!!!

Turned those slags over and ruined their history.

Just brilliant.

I love you Tottenham. X

The fact that we can't just dip into a bottomless pit of money makes it oh so much sweeter

Fantastic performance tonight. We made a team on the verge of creating history look very very ordinary. That has to be the most relaxed I've ever been watching us against one of our big rivals. Chelsea didn't look like they were ever going to have a shot, let alone score.

This formation suits us mainly because it allows us to get our best 11 footballers on the pitch together. A lot is said about tactics and whilst it is clearly important it is the players, and having no real weak link, that make most difference.

It will be interesting once Lamela returns as for me he is the only one who has a genuine chance of being considered in top 11, but for me I would keep as it is. Dier is a really good player and I wouldn't want him dropped.
Agree. It also allows Eriksen to find more space between the lines and operate more centrally than being stuck on the sides of a front 3.

He's looked very good the times we've played this way.

Anyone notice one of Chelsea backroom team in second half handing a bottle of water & a pill of some sort to Moses I think it was.. I found it very strange
The owner doesn't suffer losses lightly. Someone needs to pay the consequences.

I agree we did defend well against a very good in form team but I don't think we absolutely thrashed them which seems to be the general opinion on here. We had two chances and took them.

Maybe I'm just being a boring prick but I think we shouldn't shout about it too much and concentrate on the next games.
Yeah but we were never going to slice and dice through Chelsea, the fact we created two sitters which we scored and a couple half chance, while serverally constricting Chelsea is a world class performance, just not what most people think of when they think of wonderful performances.

Maybe I am being harsh we were very good defensively I just don't think we were outstanding going forward. Kane wasn't involved in the match and we only created two chances but luckily that was all we needed!

Take a good look at Kane when Alli scores his goals. They effectively double marked him, meaning that Alli was heading the ball in from within the 12 yard box without a CB in the frame.
Kane's presence alone opens up space for midfielders to run into. Souness called it right, this was not a game for strikers, but where our defenders treated Costa like any other Striker, Chelsea were obviously terrified of him gaining a 1v1.

even the ref had a good match -give him some credit for not dishing out soft yellow cards( I know Dele's was 'soft' but they always get a yellow for that)

Oh and those moaning about Sky, I love how butthurt they are. I love that they hate us. I literally turn on at kick off, turn over during half time and turn instantly off at full time. Fuck them.
