Match Ratings Ratings vs Chelsea

[Bulletspur]

I thought it was a very good tactical game where both sides were not prepared to lose. As it was, it was to our advantage as we only needed a point to go top.

A fair result considering but ..Lo Celso! I have never seen a player freeze in a game before, literally froze or more than likely we would have won.

Rodon had a nervy first 15 min at where I nearly shat myself, but he grew into the game and didnt give Tammy Abraham any change

My MOTM is undecided at the moment

Ended up voting for Lloris. That save from Mount was great.

Ended up voting for Lloris. That save from Mount was great.

It was but then he had this moment where he ran unnecassary off his line. Very hard call this time. Everyone was between 6 and 7 and the team effort itself an 8. Thought Serge edges it.

 

[journeyman]

Glad Rodon didn’t get punished for errors at start or finish. He did well otherwise.

Amazing the extent to which Hojbjerg is already our de facto captain on the pitch.

 

[delawarespur]

Serge for the overall performance, Hugo for the moment of the match for me with that brilliant save from mount.

 

[agrdavidsfan]

Reguillon best player on the park

 

[popstar7]

Hojbjerg MotM just for being his normal, solid self and protecting the new pairing at CB. Ndombele was good first half but faded badly in the 2H. Front three were feeding on scraps and Chelsea never allowed their defence to get turned.

 

[kaz Hirai]

Ndombele had some majestic moments as usual.

Aurier was super defensively solid again at rb
Hojbjerg was good

The rest were defensively solid, dier poor with has passing. Rodon good mostly but two very dangerous mistakes that led to a goal and the 2nd gioud should have buried

Special faceplam award for GLC

I thought spurs were wasteful up front and overall played within themselves. Unimpressed with most of the forwards to be honest but I know that's a bit harsh.

Happy with a point, but can't help but feel a little disappointed at the same time. I may have to adjust my expectations, but I thought a little more adventure might have produced a better result.

Thought Lloris had a great game and so did Hojbjerg. Honourable mention to Rodon. Horrible game to start in and played really well. Mentally strong performance from the young lad.

 

[MB31spurs]

Tricky to call MOTM a few good performances no real stand out as such.... one from ndombele Reguilon Aurier Højbjerg....Dier fluffed a few passes as well

 

[tommyt]

A super disciplined team performance.

Any doubt about Jose is well and truely gone.

The cohesion is so impressive.

 

[LionKing]

I went with Sissoko.. He didnt move an inch from the tactical role he was given.

 

[Yid]

PEH is my MOTM.

I'm so grateful he's one of us, and I can't even fathom what we're going to do if (God forbid) he's ever out with a knock or worse.

Overall a very hard earned point at Stamford Bridge to preserve our #1 spot at the table for now.

 

[DenverSpur]

Overall a good team performance. Thought we were the better team for most of the 1st half but didn’t pose the same threat going forward in the second half although if Lo Celso hadn’t had a brain freeze at the death we may have nicked it. Son and Berwijn worked really hard defensively which shows how much they believe in JM’s tactics but thought Son was under par in attacking situations and Berwijn really should have scored in the first half.
Gave MOM to Hojbjerg for his post match interview which showed why Mourinho bought him and how his mindset is permeating the team/squad giving them the belief that they can win trophies. We have needed a positive leader like this for so very long.

 

[spids]

It was a good point to get at a title rival. Disappointed Kane could not affect the game more. All our forwards put a real shift in though. Rodon was a very lucky boy at either end of the match with mistakes not punished m, hopefully he’ll learn from those. His first game at this level, but also his first club game for a long time too.

 

[DenverSpur]

Forgot to add Rodin looked good in defensive situations but made me slightly nervous when he was in the ball and he gifted them 2 of their best chances - the Werner disallowed goal and the chance for Gironde at the end. Why do defenders always try to pass back to the GK even under pressure when safety first says head it sideways out of touch. Part of the modern ethos drilled into defenders that keeping possession is the most important thing when it used to be if in doubt put it in touch and reset. The modern approach leads to so many silly goals.

 

[VegasII]

This talk of Rodin makes me think of Ronin

 

[yusrisafri]

Very poor in possession. For a club sitting at the top of the league, we should be more confident in playing the ball and keeping possession, but we looked like we were just content on defending in numbers and absorbing the chelsea attacks.

Good result and we're top of the league still, but we need to improve the way we play the ball from the back.

As usual, PEH my MOTM.

Nervy debut from Rodon, but good baptism of fire for him and will only give him confidence from now on to face other teams.

 

[Rout-Ledge]

Dier would’ve been MOTM for me but for a couple of sloppy passes. I’m giving it to Aurier because his performances have been so markedly improved lately, including today. Credit to both him and Jose for that. I have to admit I had given up on him but he is winning me back over.

 

[Spurs 1961]

The expected non entity of a game. Reguilon motm for trying to attack in a game where others looked scared of the ball
