Match Threads Spurs vs Chelsea - Match Thread - Carabao Cup - Round 4

[Shadydan]

Tanguy is stupidly press resistant.

 

[Spurs 1961]

3-7-0

The normal JM formation. It’s often worked against us in teams he has managed. Keep it to 1-0 and then unleash Kane etc and who knows. It’s his only way of playing and would not change so they better learn to defend for 90 minutes in games

 

[carpediem991]

Ffs we need to get a CB off for any bit of creativity

 

[TheCheeseRoom]

Is it me or does Bergwijn just not offer much?

Mind you with this system and starting XI I think most players would struggle to do much.

I sense he’d be doing a lot better running on to calls rather than playing with his back to goal.

 

[Phomesy]

Better

 

[The Apprentice]

Gedson is a bit of a nothing player isn’t he.

 

[ernie78]

I wish we were playing Fulham here. I could take losing to them, even another premier league club given our run of games. But the fact it’s Chelsea makes this feel like we need to beat them.

If we can’t beat Fulham then we really do have problems

 

[rossdapep]

The schedule for us at the moment is just utterly ridiculous.

People can whinge about how we are playing and not bringing in Skriniar but the bottom line is that it's been an absolute disgrace from the PL to allow our players to be put under this much physical pressure.

They gave City and United the first week off due to European endeavours, they should have given us at least a weekend off (Southampton/Newcastle)

 

[Pistols At Dawn]

Ndombele is ALWAYS looking to go forward. It's so refreshing.

 

[tiger666]

Reg is great at intercepting passes

 

[jonnyp]

Why aren't they passing it instead of trying to dribble three players?

 

[stov]

Not too bothered about this game I'm putting all my eggs on the Europa league basket.

 

[Mattspur]

Yay. We had a shot.

 

[glacierSpurs]

We just didn't go out guns blazing.

Great shot there Lamela.

 

[g_harry]

Typical spurs. Werner hasnt scored. Lets fix that. Chelski have a new keeper no worries no second striker to test him properly ease you in. FFS

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

Gedson Fernandes contributing fuck all

 

[felmani26]

Listen it's obviously not great but what did you honestly expect with Gedson and Sissoko in the midfield?!

Point is, there are rusty players, new players, new system and minus our biggest talents so perspective please.

Agree. Formation isn’t working, getting pegged back on the flanks and midfield is easily bypassed.

 

[idontgetit]

One of his biggest flaws in his all-round game imo

He's really good when the ball is pinging around with one touch passes but awful when he gets the chance to wonder what to do with it.

 

[TropicalYid]

Neither Lamela or Bergwijn works as striker.
