"If spurs can get to half time with the score being 0-0 then they have a small chance".

Just a small chance then.

COYS. A good team selection. I think we got this and Llorente scores!!

I met him on holiday a few years ago. Literally the nicest guy. Not as thick as I expected either.

You’ve spoiled it for everyone...

 

[nedley]

Just don't understand why Rose isn't playing.

 

[Bobbins]

Fuck the haters

Llorente and Lamela to score, 2-2 draw!

Surprised it's not a back five. Dier could possibly go back there I guess. Shocked Rose isn't starting though.

I imagine Dier will drop in to allow the full backs to push on when we’re in possession.

I love Five Live, but so far we've had 34 minutes of Chelsea, 4 minutes of cricket, and 15 seconds on Llorente.

I predict a red card

Fingers crossed for a great Llorente game, I know this might come across as insincere due to the own goal but he very much will have a big part to play in defending corners tonight.

Lamela, nailed on.

This is the name of a short work of fiction I’ve been writing.

Lamela, nailed on.

sounds like you should check the odds!

Interesting observation - so you would concede that Trippier out = strong defensive side?

No, it's just Serge is poorer going forward with the ball and offers less than KT through his passing. We're away from home, a goal up and don't have many options. Dier, Winks and Sissoko in midfield seems to be set up to make us solid.

IMO The reason KT is so often so far up the pitch (and does get caught forward on counters) is because he's supposed to be up there to make use of his delivery.

Tripps had a good game in the 1st leg and we kept a clean sheet by the way. Although why do some of you seemingly have to make it about individuals instead of the team dynamic? Is it because I defend a player I rate and feel is often scapegoated? Anyway...COYFS!

Exactly why I would have hoped Rose would play.

Having said that Davies is capable of a quality cross and hopefully on Llorente's hood.

Fuck me chelsea fans are cringe as fuck

This Chelsea song, with the dee-dee-dee-dee bit, is the worst in football history. Sounds like a budget funfair ride.

For who?

Lamela?
