Match Threads Chelsea Vs Spurs

[Johno1470]

First half we were abysmal. Tuchel had us down to a T and the Chelsea players were proper up for it. Jorginho bossed it for the majority of time he was on the pitch.
Once we brought Richie on, our intensity grew. Emerson played well but didn’t do enough in the final third whilst Sess was too passive. We didn’t create enough and the fact the the managers became pretty aggressive, it helped us.

Early days in the season but I’m hoping for a better performance in the next few games. I thought Son and Deki were so poor today, not helped by James man marking Sonny and KK having a class game.

Richie has earned a starting spot and it’ll give Sonny a kick up the arse. Too many times early last season Son had quiet games, even after some amazing performances. This new level of depth and competition results in every single player knowing that if they drop down a gear, someone’s there to take their place.

There’s no point jumping to conclusions about the season based on this game. Early on in 16/17 Conte’s chelsea were comprehensively outplayed (and beaten) by Liverpool and Arsenal in consecutive games. They - of course - went on to win the league.

They outplayed us today but couldn’t see the game out. We hung on by our fingernails and managed to get something out of the game. That’s a very good sign. Luck was on our side today. We need to make sure that next time we don’t need luck.

Conte went on the change the team set up to wingbacks after the loses which won them the league. We are already playing his preferred system.

Now watch us get drawn with them in the league cup 3rd round.

For those of you who didn't see that Bentancur interception
.

I'm fucking amazed those neanderthal's know what the internet is. ****s. Let's start a petition to get Taylor in next years honours list.

Thousands sign petition to ban Anthony Taylor from refereeing Chelsea matches

Chelsea fans were left livid after they believed that both Tottenham goals in Sunday's 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge should have been disallowed by the officials

Thousands sign petition calling for Anthony Taylor to be banned from refereeing Chelsea

At the time of writing some 16,000 people have signed the change.org petition, which alleges that: "Anthony Taylor has continued to make big decisions against Chelsea over the years in big matches.

"Taylor has an agenda against Chelsea and should not be allowed to referee a game involving the club again."

That's absolutely hilarious

Romero should have his own ability/trait on Fifa 23

“Beast”

And his Tinder profile just says

“You know you want it”

Didn’t play that great. Walked away with a point. Good day for Spurs.

We played well enough to get a draw. We had the better chance’s. Its not all about the stats/pressure, we play on the counter.

That's absolutely hilarious

To be fair, I think a lot of decisions, that you would expect to go against us, didn't today.

As ineffective as we were in the first half, Chelsea were bang on it and swarmed all over us. Their fans seem amazed just how well they were playing and the best they’d seen in a long time.

We will improve, when we can truly handle a high press then we are in business.

Watching MOTD.

It's ridiculous Conte got 2 yellow cards, he wasn't the aggressor in both situations and I'm not sure what else he was supposed to do?

Also, cry more Tuchel and James

 

[kthwlsn]

I was that angry, I didn't even celebrate either of our goals. That's not what I want to see from my club. Not ever.

Finally, these last two games, Kane, Son and Kulu have been totally 'MIA' and that has to stop immediately. Wolves, you have been warned!

So you didn't celebrate an equalizer in stoppage and you include Kulu as 'MIA' week one? To each their own but those two things seem...odd.

Which no doubt will be forgotten when a match goes against us and allegations of ‘corruption’ are made

Like to know what is the set piece coach doing, does he deal with defending corners .

Yes having all our players ready for where the ball is not going! It happened again after the goal. Pretty poor.

Richarlison made big difference when he came on today. As well as attacking space his hold up play is excellent. What a class option to have.

 

[DarwinSpur]

Amazes me what a free pass Tuchel gets form the press. The bloke acts like a complete cockwomble week after week - not to mention he has serious serial killer vibes about him - but the press just let him go.

When the bodies start to surface remember this post...

 

[Arden]

Surely though someone has to take responsibility on the pitch and say to the five guys at the front post that they are outnumbered at the back post.

 

[SPURSLIFE]

I thought he was very good. Agree about the price tag though.

I thought he was one of their best players and they had a few. He was always up in attack then chasing back.

I don’t think we’ll ever be able handle a press that intense with Hojbjerg and Bentencur in midfield. Hopefully Bissouma comes on quickly, becsause we need his power and ability to get out of challenges in there.

Ref got it wrong to send off both managers. All a bit silly
