Had a little butchers at The Shed End match thread just now. It's hilarious how victimised they feel for being poor Chelsea.
It's salty and sweet all at the same time and they are suffering because of it. Very enjoyable

I was worried for a minute when he went down injured, was praying for him to be alright.

On the BT Sport coverage, Jake Humphrey was saying how they'd spoken to Zola before the match, who said that Chelsea had a plan for if Spurs try to smother Jorginho like Everton did, but Zola wouldn't say what the plan was.
Im going for 'give David Luiz a couple of ecstasy tablets and see what happens'.

He was the striker I wanted for years. He led the line for a Valencia team that wasn't too dissimilar to our team at the time in terms of style but then we just had a massive overhaul of the team with Bale going and he actually didn't fit anymore. But what I still love about him is he didn't blame us. He said it was head and he did go through some horrible personal stuff whilst at tottenham. Love that he still follows us.

Totally agree but they have had time and know each other. Sometimes you need an X factor in a team, that's Moura for us

If x factor means being able to do something special to change a game then i think eriksen, son, moura, lamela and dele have it. We are blessed in the second 3 role.

We had them for years. They became the team. The xfactor has to be something different. Moura runs at pace and panics defenders, but his first burst of pace is what scares.

Son didn't run with pace at chelseas defence?
I get what you are saying, think moura is brilliant. Just think the others are too.

Yeah it was definitely noticeable that Lloris went long more today than he ever has done. It worked but in fairness it’s something that lots of people have wanted us to do for a while rather than inviting trouble. With having Kane and his fabulous hold up play we should do it more.

I haven’t read the match thread yet as was at the game then on the mega death lash but has Dier’s game been highlighted?
That was one of his best performances for a long time. He was asked to be more defensive and play to allow the attackers to do their thing rather than joining in himself. It’s how he should be played and he did the role fabulously.

Come on, he's been playing well for weeks now. Not just this game. This guy has been pivotal to our season which is weird to say but his performances speak for themselves. We truly have a special manager in Poch and what he can do with players.

Agree, i think the fact i'd didn't notice him speaks volumes for how disciplined he was and how he dominated the area in front of our CBs, real professional performance by him and i think this year most people (incl. me) have raved about Chelsea's three in Jorginho, Kova and Kante, but our two 6ft plus powerhouses Sissoko and Dier won that battle quite comfortably and made especially Jorginho and Kova look very average and like a couple of youth players Chelsea had promoted if i'm honest. Real energy and dominance from these guys!!!
Jack Pitt-Brooke and Liew have a great admiration for Poch. JPB is a City fan, but I'm not sure who JL supports. His writing in other sports is good, too.

Watching it back on bt atm... I'd forgotten about his foul and shirt rip on Kane. He's just an all round bell end isn't he?
Someone swapped the Es for laxative, because he shat himself.

Enjoyed the game tremendously yesterday. What a game! What a team! One of the best Spurs goals ever, a horrible team that hadn't lost beaten. It had everything.
Anyone who missed it because they find Wembley inconvenient missed one of the best games ever.

I agree. As well as Moura has played this season I think he’s a bench option. We are so much of a better team with the normal front four. They just know eachother’s game and are better tactically together.
