Chelsea Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[samspurs92]

It's not the result that's got to me, it's just those cheating unprofessional fuckers.

How can they get away with all the shit they tried tonight? Every foul they were surrounding the referee. They should be embarrassed at their behaviour, Costa and Fabregas are a disgrace. No ones talking about Costa elbowing Walker or Vertonghen.

Thing is, we've seen it too many times in the past that when we try and sit on 2-0 we fall deeper and deeper and end up trying to defend a game out from our area.

Rarely ends well. I prefer a knockout blow approach because at least you still seek to play.

but we did sit back really deep, goal was coming and once they got the first you just knew they would score again!

Surely Kane was fouled in the build-up to Chelsea's equalizer?

It is what it is, mate. The forces have all been pushing in a certain direction for a while now and the desired outcome has materialised.

The fairytale has been written.

Have our fans burned Chelsea down yet?

Disappointed Mason didnt finish his huge chances properly.

 

[lol]

sometimes we win, sometimes we learn. today was a good lesson

 

[Indisguise]

How many of our 9 yellows were actually deserved?

 

[BaFa94]

On a side note has any team ever celebrated with that much passion over handing their title over? Losers..

They will look back on it and their joy will turn to ashes in their mouth.

I think @lennon180 may well be a Chelski infiltrator - fuck off mate.

Why's that then?

I thought the same, Batternburg lost control of this match and allowed most Chelski challenges go but couldn't wait to brandish the yellows to us.

Congrats to The Foxes, what a story, I don't begrudge them their title, I wish it were ours but hey ho let's go for second place, one more point should be enough but six would be better.

Could there really be a points eduction for 9 yellows?

Speaking in general. Today was a special event tbf. The pressure was ridiculous and that place was a pressure cooker of pure hate and bile.

Poch made a big mistake in his first sub bringing on mason. It should have been clinton.

I think that's where we really went wrong - we needed a pace outlet.

All of them.

 

[For the love of Spurs]

Not that I have heard of, a fine most likely.

I think part of the issue we have is that the press and playing style is either super effective or self-harming. It's an all or nothing tactic. You need every single player on the pitch united with the same mentality and the same intent. Press, press, hunt, attack. And we've done it unbelievably well like shown in the first half today. But it only takes a few players having some uncertainty and the whole system breaks down. Last year if teams attacked us hard down the wings early on our fullbacks could be shocked into staying deeper which broke the system. This year I think it's more a case of the uncertainty coming from taking a lead and being unsure whether to stick or twist. The Newcastle game come's to mind as much as this one. I seriously reckon if we'd gone out into that second half looking for 8 goals we'd have won the game comfortably. As for the poor behaviour I'd accept anything the F.A throw at us, but in the end I'm proud of the whole team. A young bunch of warriors who seriously gave a fuck.

He wasn't so sublime tonight, I think he was at fault for both of their goals. But he's had a great season overall so I can't really complain.

Just annoying that after they scored, we never looked like scoring at all.. They looked more likely to get the 3rd until they decide to take it into the corner. I mean seriously lol.

IT's a fair viewpoint - but I wouldn't blame TA - I think the whole team hasn't learnt how to hold on to important leads yet. Same happened tonight as last Monday against WBA - We weren't quite "sure" how to see the game out - end up sitting too deep and inviting pressure - that has been our biggest flaw this season and needs addressing. And Hazard changed the game and he should have come to Spurs! No complaints , well only one... that Chelski actually exist.

"William Hill are pricing Leicester at 25/1 for the title next season and at 16/1 to go down"

Haha. The bookies see them as more likely to be relegated than to win the league again.

Right, just went back through and saw that I must of give you a spam rating on accident, fat fingers and all that. Just removed it for you. Seeing as its not been a great night I'll forgive the insult.

Yeah I thought so at the time, i think something similar against Kane happened at west brom the other night which led to their corner and then goal.

wrong subs and at the wrong times as usual tbh.

I was crying out for Njie to come on just go for it with his pace.

Thing that annoyed me was we had alot of time to try and win it get another goal but we just kept fouling, didnt have a shot or get near their goal.

Proud to be a spurs fan this season but also very worrying how many times we start of well but then throw it away and let teams back in the game
