Match Threads Chelsea vs Spurs - Match Thread

[spids]

Wow - what a shambles. Poch better change it! If playing Llorente we need to hit him early with runners. If not play someone else up front instead. Sissoko seems to be playing more as a RB than a RM. he needs to get into the middle third and take the game to them. We need to score so for me Llorente has to come of and put pace up top. Have we got any?

 

[SpunkyBackpack]

It looks as no one cars in our team.

Then we should have parked the bus at least instead.

 

[stormfly]

Poch is a genius! Conserving energy before the last 20 minute onslaught to which Chelsea will have no reply. In Poch we trust.

 

[parj]

Awful opinion probably based out of fear of what we'll be like without Toby next season.

Not at all. What is to fear? Look at how poor our defence has been this season compared to last.

Do you fear losing Toby to say that?

 

[Glorykid]

Lamela and Llorente need to come off, go to a back 3 as Rose is out of position all the bloody time.

 

[freeeki]

We should bring Llorente on for the second half

 

[Lumiere]

Not a surprising performance, a thread bare squad already minus 3 world class players and with a half fit Sissoko. Of course it's going to lethargic.

This is why you bring in reinforcements though.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

I honestly never want to see Llorente play for us ever again. If Poch actually thinks that Llorente is a better option than Janssen...Christ.

 

[bloodzeed]

Moura on for Llorente drop eriksen deeper want Sissoko further up the pitch we have to counter these

 

[Zippy1980]

I absolutely hate penalties when Spurs are involved but I would take them right now.

 

[fluffybunnyuk]

Its the old cliche whoever scores next...

 

[Hazelton]

Amazing how shit we are with our three best attackers not on the pitch

Is it though? You take any club's four best attackers out of their team and I dare say most would struggle, no?

 

[JayB]

Going into this season with the miles on our players' legs and no reinforcements was absolute madness.

 

[TheRevolution]

Where was the movement off the ball in their half? Too easy for Chelsea.

 

[Tonio]

The fact we've 3 out through injury isn't an excuse. This team should be able to perform better than this. The bastards should be fined a weeks wages for this. Disgusting ain't the word.

 

[SugarRay]

It was always going to be a massive slog but once that first goes through 10 players and Gazza’s legs this unfit patchwork of a team was always going to struggle against this bunch of champagne wankers.

Would fucking laugh my head off if we snuck a couple of goals and fucked them

Take solace of sorts that City stroll the final...unless of course we get there!*

* Obviously if we do somehow get there don’t take solace in us getting pissed all over in the final

 

[Blue]

Probably the worst i've seen us this season. No creativity or drive.. Our players look half-dead.

 

[Wig]

llorente offers absolutely nothing, playing him over janssen just shows poch makes bad decisions

We're not exactly playing to his strengths though are we

 

[Kingellesar]

Awful first half.

To be fair though even with our best team out against them in the first leg we didn’t push on. Just sort of looked content with 1-0. Going to the Bridge with a 1-0 lead was always going to be an uphill struggle.

Yes in the league we absolutely smashed them but in the one off cup games the atmosphere and mentality is different and this Chelsea squad are used to playing and winning in semi finals.

We just don’t look interested at all.

 

[midoshairband]

Just so fed up with this every season, 1991 since we last won anything meaningful....
nearly 30 years yet we are 10th richest club and have the higest paid chairman and the highest priced season tickets, yet we cant afford to buy a player to bring the squad
I agree the injuries are terrible but what do you expect with the training poch puts lads through and the summer our players had, if we finish top 4 with this squad, poch is literally magic but just cant see it as cant see us scoring at moment.
Levy has done wonders but has taken us as far as he can IMO
Cheers for the beer

if you’re not counting the last league cup win as amything ‘meaningful’ then don’t worry about this one either ??
