It did, however that seems to be the way teams try to line up against us. They know that the LW (Whoever it seems to be) won't get back and help out defensively, allowing them to overload that side and get past Bae.

Dont think he should ever have slid in for that tackle unless he was 100% sure he would make it.
It was the only mistake he made either. Torres completely losing him at one point was embarrassing.
It is extremely suitable - I love seeing Spurs do well. Hence why I made that comment.

"Come On Your Spurs" is something we sing in support of your team - is your comment about Hudd really getting behind a player who tries as hard as anyone else?

Huddlestone hit more successful passes than anyone b the pitch. I thought his set pieces were poor but no where near as bad as some comments

That's how I saw it too except for Parker who I think is a liability to the team now. I'd give him a 4 or less. The funny thing is I used to be a big fan of Parker but now I think he adds almost nothing. He had a few good moments near the end including one excellent tackle but the game is passed him by for 80 mins.
He's not good enough. I don't care how hard he tries, he did nothing to help our team tonight.

Then COYS really isn't an appropriate user name for you.
It is when you want him to do well, but he can't. If I played for Spurs I'd try even harder than all our current players. Does that mean I should?

Amazed at the criticism of Hudd.
Il be honest, i watched the game in a pub, sinking pints to ease the nerves so perhaps i misread things....But i thought tommy was great? Lots and lots of quick, clever passes that we dont often see since Mod left. Some poor set pieces but that does not constitute a bad game. I was thinking that 433 has made Hudd a viable possibility, as his awareness shone through on many occasions this eve against a great midfield.

I'm stunned too. Sometimes after reading this forum I often think I must know very little about this game
2nd goal was a mixture many players. Mata was left unmarked in midfield, which meant Dawson couldn't drop back as quickly as he wanted. Either Hudd or Parker should have been out there. Then Vertonghen lets Ramirez sneak in behind him by focusing on the 2-on-2 situation in front of him.

Lloris 7 - Sharp and very, very confident in the box during a tumultuous first-half.
Walker 8.5 - Best game of the season for me. Absolutely superb effort, determination, drive and strength. Basically played the right side himself...and then some other positions too!
Dawson 6 - made me nervous the entire first-half but tightened up. Courageous stuff from the skipper.
Vertonghen 6 - terrible first-half, very credible second.
Ekotto 6 - tough one to judge. He did not have a great game at all, however once again he was absolutely alone on the left for much of the match.
Parker 6 - would've been my bet to be subbed, with Holtby moving ito his slot, but credit to him, he kept plugging away and the last 15 minutes he was great, ironically on the right-hand side!
Huddlestone 6.5 - not bad by any stretch, but never had the chance to really express his talent. Again, did well to hang in.
Bale 6 - almost a sacrificial role in the sense that he went wide and took men with him every time, leaving spaces we should've exploited more.
Holtby 6 - effort, industry, I'm just not convinced he's clicked into the side and it's ways yet.
Lennon 5 - good he gave it a shot, sad it couldn't have been fully fit Azza as their full-backs were total brick!!!!!
Adebayor 8.5 - 4-3-3 and he was loving it. Excellent performance.
Siggy 7.5 - must start at the weekend. Immensely decent today.
Dempsey 6 - got into it and gritted through some stuff, fashioned that fine chance for himself from the cross-field pass only to ruin it with a weak finish.
Overall I remain proud of the chaps!

Solid ratings Diego, I would agree with that.
Cheers for the stat on Hudd, thought some of the comments here didn't fit with my impression of the game. He wasn't great, but nowhere near as bad as some were saying and it was a really tough game for our central midfield.

Lloris 7 - Some good keeping but his distribution was poor
Walker 8 - Great game from him, I loved watching the Chelski players bounce off him as he went forward, very strong!
Dawson 6 - Out of position too often although made a couple of good blocks and tackles
Vertonghen 7 - Struggled as he was often covering for Snoop
Assou Ekotto 5 - Average, average, average. Made poor decisions going forward and got caught out too often. Good block though
Parker 5 - Another average performance from Mr Average, didn't notice an abundance of pirouettes though!
Huddlestone 5 - Not a starter!
Lennon 5 - Still not fully fit IMO and was marshalled well by Cole
Bale 6 - Not a player of the season performance but we expect so much!
Holtby 5 - A terrier around the pitch but seemed to pass to a blue shirt more often than not
Adebayor 9 - Thats why we bought him! Great goal and the flick for the second was just sublime, play like this in the next 2 please Ade!
Dempsey 6 - No time
Sigurðsson 8 - Made a difference in the second half for us, good finish and movement for the goal too

Bout right for me as well.

Agree on the first goal.
2nd goal was also at least partly down to Parker. It's always going to be difficult for the defenders if runs like that from midfield are allowed to go untracked. I think Parker pushed to far up beyond Holtby attempting to put pressure on Chelsea, but doing so on his own so he got bypassed and he couldn't get back in time to pick up Ramires.

Lloris - 7 - Poor distribution but it's so great to have a goalkeeper who seriously just claims the majority of crosses that come into the box, he has great handling.
Walker - 7.5 - Getting better every game, I have been critical of Walker this season but I imagine it was just the high standards he seemed to set last season.
Dawson - 6 - Not his best, gave away silly fouls, out of position at times, but his heart is unbeatable and he must have a sore head.
Vertonghen - 7 - Was pretty solid, wasn't the best for Ramires' goal but he made some great challenges and last ditch headers.
Ekotto - 5 - He was shocking last night, gave the ball away countless times, tried to be to smart at times and Chelsea caught on, saying that good ball to Ade for our equaliser.
Huddlestone - 6 - Not his best game, if Parker is on the pitch with him though, I'd much rather THEY switched places, Parker should be the one shielding defence not Huddlestone.
Holtby - 7 - Was quite surprised at his sub, his work rate is so good, I'd like to see him deeper but when he's in a midfield three on Hudd/Parker and himself, I suppose he should be the furthest forward.
Parker - 6 - Once again, another game that passes him by. Should have come off late on for Carroll but it just wasn't to be, shouldn't start another game this season.
Lennon - 5 - Quiet game, Certainly not fit, would much rather have had him come on as a late sub, Imagine him coming on late against you instead of Dempsey.
Adebayor - 9 - His best game this season and his best game in well over a year, absolute beast mode entered. Cracking goal, brilliant assist.
Bale - 5 - A poor game by his high standards, Chelsea did well to contain him, maybe that worked in our favour to open up space for the likes of Ade.

Sigurdsson - 7 - Came on, worked the ball well, scored a cracking equaliser.
Dempsey - N/A
AVB - 7.5 - Once again, his subs work, I do think he brings them on a little too later than I would like and I do think he should have brought on one of Defoe or Carroll when we went to 2-2, really could have made a difference.
Walker - 7.5 - Getting better every game, I have been critical of Walker this season but I imagine it was just the high standards he seemed to set last season.
