Match Threads Chelsea vs Spurs - Match Thread

Poch has the faith. Not sure if it's blind though.

I guess we will see if Llorente comes back out.

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Bring on Chris Armstrong.... Oh sorry, wrong era.....

It is what it is. The injuries and players back.from injury is just part of the rub of the green. See what they can do now.

 

[yankspurs]

No changes

 

[roslau]

wrong set up by Poch. too rush to put Dier and Sissoko to start together when both of them have been out from injury. if Poch thought Llorente would give an impact. he should have started 3 at the back and used the wing back systems. how many crosses have me put in? zero. why do we need a lamp post on the pitch when he did fuck all.
move Dier to the back 3 if Poch doesn’t want to make a change at HT.

 

[Phomesy]

Lucas is obviously nowhere near right either

Dier's way short of fitness and touch. Sissoko's been excellent but can't stretch his leg or move quickly enough as we saw when he let hazard go past. Winks has played too much football.

If we were a racing horse they'd have shot us by now

When I see Spurs fans defending the failure that is Levy this season I gain a greater understanding why people like Trump become President.

This proves if we finish top 4 and nothing else it will be an exceptional season of insane proportions .

 

[VancouverSpur]

Few of our lot just don't look match fit. Going to take a massive change to turn this around, but Lucas for Llorente will be a good start as we have not stretched them in defense at all.

 

[ajspurs]

Llorente out for the 2nd half, fuck sake.

 

[murichej]

Lets go nowwww, 2-2 or 5-0 will both be ok with me.

 

[Tonio]

I know this is going to prove unpopular but I really don't rate Dier at all. All I see is a big lumbering messy player. He might be the "big hard as nails" type but that's all he has.

 

[stevenurse]

He's Stubborn (apparently) you know....

If Poch and/or Levy cant see we cant go the next 4/5 weeks like this then there's a serious problem. It doesnt have to be a panic buy, but if its required, pay the premium to get that player in the next week.

 

[nedley]

Poch happy to continuing playing with 10 men.

Brave.

 

[maltahotspur]

Whilst our attack is anonymous, I was not expecting us to come here and dominate or have the upper hand and attack. It's our defending that is in absolute shambles. I just pray that this does not end up in a slaughter for us. Just shut up shop and keep the score as low as we can hope for.

 

[Sevens]

Llorente does not deserve to be picked for a semi final and his limitations are costing us.
Dier is showing why he will never be first pick in midfield again. Jogging around, out of position, absolutely no awareness of the dangers around him.

Lucas needs to be on now.

Dier's not match sharp and if you think Poch will drop him then you haven't been paying attention. Dier didn't have to start tonight, but he did. What were the alternative choices to Llorente?

I think Poch got the tactics wrong. He should have started with 5-3-2. But to be fair his selection has been severely hampered by injuries and there wasn't much more he could do.

 

[cjbyid]

No changes.Wow.

Usual 75th minute sub so

 

[EaMidSpurs]

Be better off asking anyone in the local boozer for input. Joe Cole is there to make Jamie look like a footballing genius! Says it all

Joe & Jamie.... Dumb & Dumber.... they should roll out Merson & make it The Three Stooges... glad I'm not paying a Sky subscription to watch those mugs

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Everyone is quite cheerful considering.

Me N’ my big mouth

 

[Frozen_Waffles]

We are no threat, we are like little puppy's yapping at their feet. Hazard and Pedro are tearing us to pieces at the other end. This could get embarrassing.

Not much to do really, sissoko and dier are not fit, Winks is probably knackered, llorente and lamela have not been good enough. I don't think Moura is the answer here but he's the only one we got.

Is Skipp on the bench?

 

[hughy]

How did Toby get away with his challenge lol.

Yeah that was a huge risk. Had to take it though because that was as good as 3-0 if Hazard was through.
