****Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea****

Ahhhh well, a draw it is then ! But we did contain them well, they were parking the bus a la Qarabag. We had a few half chances, and in these type of tight, tough, top team games you gotta take 'em !

But I am so proud of this team of players that Poch has molded into a strong, tough and sharp side.

COYS !!!

Neither team played well. Chelsea lacking confidence, and we were not mentally physically fully prepared. Looked a little tired with no one ready to step up - bar Alderweireld. Lloris made an amazing save too. But we stopped moving second half.

If Son had found the side of the goal for his two chances we'd have gone on to win. So we weren't too far off. But we didn't manage to turn the screw when we were on top. Lots of dives and bitty game.
 
A couple of observations. Owen should commentate the races. We looked leggy from the word go. The intensity in our pressing was absent. Why so many long balls? Eriksen is a cheat. His pressing was half hearted at best and again he minced out of some challenges. No Europa and we would have won it. You could see the boys were searching for petrol tickets.
 
Sigh. Always a risk, given the exertions of the team against Qarabag, but we could have ended Chelsea's league campaign and jumped into the top four....and we fluffed it to an extent.

The positives are that it's a draw that keeps us unbeaten and that's a hard run of games out of the way. The negatives are that we can't truly consider ourselves a team fighting at the very top if we can't kill off a weakened Chelsea side that were missing Costa and still recovering from a horrendous melt-down, and we can't consider ourselves the finished article if we're still being relentlessly exhausted by trips to no-name tractor factory sides at the end of the world.
 
Just lacked our usual zip towards the end there to get past the parked bus, understandable after the midweek trip to Asia.

At least Pochettino has lead us to our best unbeaten run since the 1980s

@SpursOfficial: STAT: We're now 13 league games without defeat which is our longest unbeaten run in the @premierleague. #COYS
 
I don't care what our players say, fatigue was an issue today, you could see it from the 60th minute onwards. I'm sure they downplay it so to not show any weakness to the press, but I thought we became visibly off the pace the longer we played.

The mis-communication between the Aldierghen trio and Lloris was worrying at times.
 
Zzz turgidity rating of 8, as expected with Mourinho.

We didn't really show that zip and belief we have in recent games, fizzled into a load of wet farts with the odd follow-through

Good grief! Serious relegation fears. Astounding summation.
 
What an absolute bore-fest. Chelsea are so anti-football

Glad the grand prix is on so I could two-screen the second half.
