Match Threads Spurs vs Chelsea - Day 11

[Gareth88]

Romero got lucky at first. Why didn't someone calm him down? He had red mist

Agree he was lucky to be on the pitch

 

[werty]

Also think we've been suicidal with our approach with 10 men, and we would have been better off leaving Johnson on if we're going to insist on putting two up top.

 

[Reece_Spurs]

This officiating has been an utter disgrace.

Sterling has gotten away with two bookings for blatant dives, one which if the ref had caught live, wouldn’t have led to Romero getting sent off. Reece James elbows Udogie flush in the face and the decision is made within seconds? I’m done.

You're clutching.

We are lucky not to be down to 9.

If we lost this, it's all on ourselves.

Why the players lost their heads being 1 up and playing well is a mystery. Romero is a fucking idiot.

 

[greaves]

Look on the bright side, at least a meteor hasn’t hit the stadium yet!

I hate optimists

 

[crokey]

Richy has to come on immediately, he will get it to a 10v10

 

[Frozen_Waffles]

Get the club statement ready Pronto.

That first half has single handedly destroyed our season

 

[sundanceyid10]

Bring on Richarlison - he can wind them up

Richarlison could legit get one of Chelsea’s sent off.

Anyone blaming the officials here is off their nut.

A mixture of bad fortune and absolute idiocy has fucked us here. We're lucky we have a bit of a points cushion on realistically where we should be, because the next few weeks are going to be fucking rough.

You can blame the officials and our own players losing their heads. But crucially Chelsea players are as well. Nobody has a lid on it. Half time was needed for everyone and we went in level thankfully.

He's a vice captain, he should calm himself down mate. His head was long gone.

 

[George94]

Few thoughts

- my biggest VDV fear of him pulling his hamstring has come true
- the hatred between these two clubs, is fucking clear as day, Poch can go fuck himself
- we're genuinely cursed, everything that could have gone wrong has, this could not have happened to anyone but us

 

[Romulus]

Opposition fans around the land rejoicing at whats happening.

 

[mpickard2087]

Spectacularly bad play, mentality, and temperament to blow up the game situation.

Spectacularly bad luck on the injury front.

If it rains, it pours.

 

[dude573]

Eric Dier has been immaculate since coming on as well.

 

[Gareth88]

We've totally lost the plot here. It's like Battle of the Bridge all over again. Feel like the players have let the moment get to them a bit here.

But Oliver was letting so much go early on that it was going that way.

Disappointed in Romero, he was lucky not to go earlier for the kick out.

2nd half we need to be smarter

 

[iddebu52]

Lost our composure, sadly. Besides loosing 3 of our first 11 for who knows how long!!!

 

[Blue]

What the hell have we just watched?

Bunch of erratic prepubertal boys without their brains fully developed.

 

[Impspur1]

How to loose control of a football game by Michael Oliver.

Not sure I agree with this, apart from not sending Udogie off. I think he’s got the big calls right

 

[RuskyM]

If there is one manager who knew how to incite it... He definitely knew how emotional we can get..

Didn’t benefit him then though and I get the feeling it might not benefit him now.

 

[nferno]

With the way vdv runs I did wonder if something would blow out, and the way he went down with that hamstring it looks like he absolutely tore it to shreds. It looks like he’s sprinting at close to breaking point each time he gets his head down.

 

[Rout-Ledge]

Udogie deserves some slack because he’s a young lad, but he lit the firework with that stupid reckless tackle. Should’ve gone. We turned this into a battle when for fifteen minutes it looked like a procession.

Yep, but as you said, he’s a young lad. He needed the senior and very experienced leadership team to lead by example. Romero did precisely the opposite.
