Tottenham vs Chelsea: Match Thread

[LexingtonSpurs]

Looks like Bakayoko is in the match-day squad - based on Chelsea twitter - no word on if he is starting.

Fuck the nerves are starting to kick in

Didn't really think about how big a game this is because it's so early but it's still huge

 

[Donki]

Hugely, massive, gigantically big, collosusly important match today I feel no fucking about like last week out of the blocks and pressure them right from the start. If we show any signs of nerves early on I feel this could be a very hard game to watch ch.

Trippier!! Fuck yeah that's big for us

Mousa higher up the pitch, glad Trips is back.

Is that a 4-3-3 or 3-4-3?

So important to set the tempo in this one. I thought we controlled Newcastle for most of the match but didn't really click into gear until Son came on (which actually got a bit overlooked because of the red card). A slick pitch will certainly help today.

For those new to Wembley I hope you have your binoculars with you. I'm sure you've heard people talk about how big the pitch is and I can honestly say it's fucking massive.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

hmm... 433 - or 3421?

He'll be so rusty.

Surely it will be three at the back with Dembele in his usual position.

He's starting. Pedro on the bench.

 

[pablo73]

Really, really hope that is 3 at the back rather than Dier and Wanyama in midfield. COYS!!

 

[Mr Pink]

Best starting 11 we could field, Chelsea line up?

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Hope so - he does start. Hazard still out though

 

[gushayes11]

I read it as 4231, we'll see.

 

[mil1lion]

Could be 3 at the back which we did well with against Chelsea last season.
