It just gets worse. Now its all Lloris's fault. Saving a penalty is purely down to guesswork- he guessed wrong- so fucking what.

Mate, come on, that's harsh.
And when you consider our injury situation how can you interpret it as good news?

I'm not blaming anyone in particular for today's result. We basically got the standard what's the worse can happen will happen vs them at their ground.
My comment was just a general observation of his goalkeeping when facing penalties. Obviously you knew this but because of your douche-baggery tendencies, you posted your reply.

I already said that it was a terrible thing to say about one of ours but the guy has been shocking for most of the season.
I am astounded by his incompetence at times and the amount of times he comes out of defence to intercept a pass and then finds himself in no-mans-land............it really is excruciating to watch.
For the games that we have coming up in the next few weeks,he would have embarrassed himself.
He is like a punch drunk boxer who hasn't got the sense to call it a day.
Somebody needs to throw the towel into the ring and thankfully a higher authority has.

We all know his standards have slipped this season and yes the pass interception cluster.f you refer to is utterly insane, I have no idea why he keeps launching into this but (and granted I'm taking the calm laugh over cry approach which I highly recommend) with the injuries and potential suspensions the alternative is something like walker or sandro at centre back or an untried kid. Plus our schedule is 3 games in 8 days so there's no way his injury can be described as anything other than bad news, pass interception cluster.f or not.

That is pretty much what naughton is at rb, a steady eddy
As for Dawson, I was shocked so many of his long balls came off but his defensive work is shocking at the moment cant keep a line for shit
Sherwood - Really bad, we pushed far too forward and Mourinho was happy to sit deep. We do this against Liverpool, the score will be embarrassing

What the fuck? Naughton kicked the ball inexplicably out play 3 times in the first 16 minutes, under no pressure, and left Hazard wide open behind him for the second goal? I know we have to expect these kind of things but come on lads for fuck sake.

His technique for one on ones isn't at the high level of the rest of his game. Its only a small gripe and certainly didn't cause our defeat or anything, but something I've noticed all season is that he doesn't spread himself and often gets megged in one on ones.

Dawson gave the ball away countless times, as per.
Siggy I kept forgetting he was playing. How come he starts ? What is Sharwoods thinkin?
Paulinho. What does he do? Useless player.

yes, verts vote is a bit sarcastic (attempt to lighten up thread/post).... but MotM seems a little silly in a 4-0 loss. 
Things looked quite good until the first goal,... and even that was not the end, but the ref killed off all hope with the red. now, halftime ratings vs end of match ratings might be a bit more telling. but, as everyone reminds, it is a 90 minute game and Spurs collapsed badly after suffering injustice - and not for the first time this season. just consider the verts vote as the "goat" option here, no malice intended.
I think they'll bounce back against Benfica and let's all be honest - VERY few SC members expected a win yesterday. GD has not been relevant for Spurs in 2014, so they just need to win 7 of their last 9 matches and let the chips fall where they may -- COYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If better players in our team gave a quarter of his commitment we would be chasing first place. stop knocking the guy. he gives everything. Verts is a much better player but looks disinterested as yesterday shown.

Timmy the Brave
Let's start where we often do and should. The team selection. Dawson (as it turns out in a high line, away at a top side) when Kaboul and Fryers were available wasfoolish brave. Lennon as a trequartista, especially after the last half dozen performances was fucking idiotic brave. The Walker/Naughton combo had defensive merit perhaps, but offensively was only ensuring our attacking dimwit quota remained healthy.
The first 10-15 minutes was typically lethargic, and the combination of Dawson, a high line and poor pressure on the ball from the front looking like a matter of when not if Chelsea would breach it.
But Chelsea seemed reluctant to commit to the game, choosing pragmatic patience, almost as if they knew what was to come (which if they'd watched other performances against top 4 sides they may well have done).
The rest of the first half - 30 minutes or so - was a decent, competitive affair and the way we actually retained the ball was pleasing and whilst we didn't create anything - mainly because the two or three great positions we did work ended up floundering on the rocks that are Walker's lack of composure when attacking - our control of the ball stopped them creating anything else either.
I assume people crediting that first half, recognise the similarity with performances of the previous regime ? Mourinho's post match comments about ball domination with no hurting the opposition could have been lifted from one of the anti AVB posts ?
Personally I quite liked much of what I saw that first half, but then I would wouldn't I. I'm a contrary **** like that.
The second half is not worth discussing. Individual errors, a fucking harsh decision and even harsher sending off by the ref and a subsequent capitulation were reminiscent of the ManC (x2) and Liverpool games. It was pretty much a case of very same shit on different day.
Hard to pick the bones out of who takes responsibility for what and how much, from there on in. Players that shouldn't be picked or played out of position, individual stupidity and then subsequent lack of discipline and intelligence.
A defensively impeccable and patient chelsea, a witless attack and a clusterfuck jamboree was always going to be hard to survive.
Individual mumblings:
Lloris - hard to weigh up, bit unlucky that two goals went through his legs, distribution was poor at times.
Naughton - functional at best.
Dawson - after a poor start I actually thought he did OK.
Kaboul - Hard to come in so infrequently, especially for tough games and excel, and he didn't.
Vertonghen - His slip and subsequent brain fart was the catalyst for our demise.
Sandro - Was busy but luck not to be carded sooner. Valiant as ever but must learn not to put himself on a card so soon in games as it inhibits him or risks us losing a player.
Bentaleb - I thought he had a very good first half.
Walker - His ever present lack of composure when at the heady altitude of the opponents third is incredibly wearying. A game like this wouldn't be complete without him donning his clown outfit and getting Lloris to sniff his lapel flower that shoots water in his face, and he duly obliged. In between he was Cafu of course.
Lennon - He's not big and it he's not clever.
Sigurdsson - Like a tall icelandic Lennon.
Adebayor - Worked hard.
