Match Threads Chelsea vs Spurs - Match Thread

[yusrisafri]

Lucas really cannot control the ball. Almost every time he loses possession.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

This is horrible. Sitting deep and still wide open at the back. Cant string any passes together on the ball. Just horrendous.

The problem I have, is no Kane or Son shouldn't have an effect on how we play in defence and midfield. We can't pass for shit.

 

[seppo]

We're actually finished. Toothless dogshit Allardyce football without the only benefit of exactly that: good defending.

 

[markiespurs]

3 CBs just stood and watched for their goal, piss poor defending.

 

[ikky]

Poor from winks losing it there

 

[Phomesy]

Dearie me.

 

[Garbob]

Ffs couldn’t afford to lose it there

 

[Haddock]

We will just have to try to actually make use of the possession. Similarly to the Leipzig match it's clear as day that our plan is to sit tight and ping long balls towards Lucas and Bergwijn. We're hamstrung by injuries but that tactics is just so easy to defend against if the opponents anticipate it.

 

[SugarRay]

Not nice viewing at all so far

 

[jonnyp]

So poor Winks

 

[yiddopaul]

Simple really. Chelsea want it more than us. And they will most likely get it. We can't score, we can't defend very well. We have the players that can play good football, but for some reason (instruction?) are playing within themselves. The story of our season.

 

[Athenspur]

Tbf NDombele is a joke. Unless he has the ball served on his plate, he is a total passenger and offers not a single thing. It is like playing with 10 men, but worse, because he occupies such an important position. We cannot afford a passenger midfielder at the state the team is in. This has 4-0 written all over it.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

They are so in our face when we have the ball. They smell blood.

 

[TheRevolution]

So many poor giveaways. How can Winks lose his concentration like that? This is premier league football ffs.

 

[BigVic]

Winks is poor

 

[tobi]

The need to space themselves better to beat the press, there are two passers in midfield.

 

[yankspurs]

Giving Toby a new contract was such a shocking decision.

 

[YiddoTom90]

Alonso close f me

 

[CowInAComa]

i really thought the negative one dimensional long ball tactics we employed unsuccessfully against Leipzig would work today.

 

[TEESSIDE1]

Oh look a Winks special, a yellow card for a stupid challenge
