Now that was embarrassing. We are not as good as we think we are. I am talking about our players and those moronic so called supporters who were making racist chants and throwing objects at Chelsea players.

Very poor performance, just as bad or worse than anything under Poch at his worst. Thats the I see it so negative rep me all you want.

Sissoko my MOTM

Mourinho's honeymoon period is over in my opinion

Embarrassing day for the club...on and off the field.

I still don't know why we persist with Eriksen. Clearly doesn't want to be here and has been in shocking form for months. Especially when we have a forward thinking CM in Tanguy on the bench.

Obviously he wasn't the main issue today - that's the whole team performance but it just baffles me.

This isnt a good chelsea team by a long way, 1 PL win in 5 before this, but we made them look like world beaters

Most embarrassed I've been to support Spurs in a long while, on and off the pitch.

No intensity, no/negative gameplan (despite a free week to prepare), idiotic from Son and Gazza, and utterly unacceptable racism to top it all off. Gutted.

VAR 10/10

not corrupt at all, I’m so happy it is so consistent in checking every incident so that we, the fans, are treated to a fair game of football.

Dele and Kane most disappointing, you would expect from our English and HG talent and a captain much more in a derby game, especially at home. Gazza and Son simply stupid, Mourinho outcoached. Sanchez and Toby had some good and some bad moments. Vert is not a LB. More worrying than result is mentality, can't win trophies with those types.

Sanchez and Sissoko were both good.

Gazza made a crazy error.
Jan showed his age.
Toby was poor, struggled against Abraham.
Aurier cannot play against the top teams.
Dier is not mobile enough.
Son was poor and idiotic, really disappointed.
Dele was poor, however I think the problem is he is an output player, in a game we struggle in slow badly he will always look poor.
Lucas was non existent.
Kane was useless, thought his performance lacked intelligence.

Ndombele looked silky at times.
Eriksen was the Eriksen of the last 12 months
Rose did nothing of note.

Jose will need to learn from that and needs to start picking teams to restrict our opponents and give us a platform.

The problem is the totally unbalanced midfield. Jose will know this, it will get sorted

It hasn't so far... Keep playing the same 2 in cm that don't work together.

Hopefully Ndombele will start the next game, but I don't want to see Sissoko start as a cm 2 for us again.
He has his uses with the ball at his feet, but leaves us too open.

Hopefully le celso can get some game time with Ndombele, or we do some business in January.

Gazzaniga - 2 - Idiot. Could have just stood his ground and caught it. Until now he has been nice and steady but oh my gosh that was bad!
Aurier - 4- Needlessly gave away the corner and then was sleeping when they played a short one. Poor and we need to upgrade a.s.a.p.
Toby - 6 - Average but surrounded by calamity.
Sanchez - 4 - Looked hopeless on the ball and kept giving it away. Not helped by the CM not turning up until the 80th minute.
Verts - 6 - Average
Dier - 3 - Not a CM.
Sissoko - 6 - Not a CM.
Dele - 6 -Needs to be a 2nd striker playing very high or left out.
Son - 5 - Did little other than get sent off. Frustration which I can understand given he got such poor service and ended up playing as a LWB.
Moura - 6 - Did little. Tried hard, but did little.
Kane - 5 - Poor, Missed a fairly chance he;d normally score and was totally bossed by their CBs.

Ndombele - 8 - Needs to start. Our vest player by a country mile.
Eriksen - 6 - WTF was he taking the corners?
Rose - 6 - par.

Mourinho - 3 - Schooled by Lampard big time. It was obvious Fat Frank had out thought him after the first 5 minutes - but he did not change anything, Subs way too late. He cannot legislate for Aurier switching off or Gazza losing his mind to give away the worst penalty I have ever seen conceded, but he picked that team and he left changed tings way too late. Was like watching the final throes of Pochettino's reign.

I know all the noise coming out of the club is that we don't need to spend and Jose just needs time. Sorry, watching this team - and MOurinho has been exclusively using Poch's old team - they're at the end of the road and need a major freshen up. We need a new LB, a new RB and a new DCM as a minimum. The most disappointing thing today was we had no fight in us. Out thought AND out fought. We look weak, heavy and slow. Foyth, Sessegnon, Lo Celso, Ndombele - all need to be used in a major freshen up of this team.

Unfortunately we don’t have very many good players. Of that starting 11 I would say that 7 of them aren’t good enough for a top 6 side:

Gazza, Aurier, Vert (at LB), Dier, Sissoko, Alli and Moura.

Ndombele obviously is good enough so I make that 5 players I’m happy with. Every other player (apart from the youngsters) can all go to other clubs for all I care.

Sanchez the only player who looked like he cared. Our MOTM by a country mile.

Gazza - 0 - dreadful.
Aurier - 0 - totally pathetic.
Vert - 2 - got torn apart by Mount for crying out loud.
Toby - 5 - got shaken a bit by Abraham.
Sanchez - 7 - good game surrounded by morons.
Dier - 3 - just not good enough.
Sissoko - 3 - pretty crap.
Lucas - 1 - actually forgot he was playing in the second half.
Dele - 1 - nothing all game.
Kane - 1 - sat in Rudigers pocket and never left.
