To quote the article:
"Questions over Lamela, Townsend, Chadli and Mousa Dembele rise again. If there's one area Spurs need to buy quality it's in this area to complement Eriksen."

I'd keep Chadli and Lamela has to be better than he's shown in a Spurs shirt, but I'm ready to be rid of Townsend and Dembele.

The only tactic where chelski out played us was with the ref, any little nudge and there players went down, by the end of the game it was embarrassing, especially when there left back tried swimming like a fish while using his arm to Shepard the ball and the ref still have them a free kick.

Just another game where collective cheating prevails.

The only praise I will give Chelsea is that they defended very well.

They played us on the counter like a classic away team performance and if anything drew us into their gameplan. We're a front foot kinda team and they knew it. Had we got a goal then things would've changed and they'd have become more open. Sadly that didn't happen and they skanked two shitty goals.

That's it really. Walker did a sterling job on Hazard as he didn't affect the game at all really. Rose was also superb. I really can't fault any of our players defensively. It just wasn't our day.
