***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR v Chelski OMT***

[billyiddo]

i would never say that the other way around because we arent solid like chelsea. im not just saying it so when we lose i can say i told you so; its just my opinion on chelsea's style and whats going on here. ive never seen spurs suck a side in, whilst penning them into their own half in my life. so no, you're quite correct, i wouldnt say it the other way around because it would happen in a million years. the game is being played almost exclusively in our own half, regardless of who is in possession.

Well that's my point - it's based on who the teams are not how the game is being played - Spurs have possession : Chelsea are allowing them - Chelsea have possession : Chelsea want it

If we had played this half out how Chelsea had the commemtators would be talking about luck and how Chelsea had squandered chances, but as it's Chelsea it's all part of the plan

eriksen has been dreadful, poor guy must be tired.

 

[Yiddo]

Don't injure Droga ffs!

 

[Jurgen the German]

chiriches is such a crap footballer its painful. we need to get naughton on at half time.

No, "there's a player in there" ............... somewhere :lol:

 

[El Guepardo]

Lamela needs to come off, he seems to want to showboat far too often and at 2 down, we need players who keep it quick & simple.

 

[thfcsteff]

There are some miserable *******s out there tonight!!!!!!!:ross:

 

[Notmegov]

Getting very ragged.

Andy is that you?

if thats what you think i said then fair enough. chelsea are allowing us possession while we are penned in deep in our own half. when chelsea have possession its also in our half. they arent knocking it around the back four, the entire match is being played in front of our penalty area. not many teams can pen you in and control you like that.

eriksen has been dreadful, poor guy must be tired.

Will probably get subbed, that's usually what happens when he's a bit quiet.

 

[Rock Strongo]

Ah well. I'll take the positives, could have scored two in the first 15. Drogba is crying at halftime.

 

[Spur of the moment]

Chiriches at it again, attempting blind backheels in dangerous areas. he really is a complete prick. Trouble is Naughton almost as good at brainfarts.

 

[Kandi1977]

Blimey! Chirices can nutmeg someone 3 times in 5 seconds, but controlling a tame 5 meter pass seems to be too much of a task....

 

[El Guepardo]

There are some miserable *******s out there tonight!!!!!!!:ross:

Can you blame us? It's been torrid viewing for the past half hour

 

[Robbo]

To be fair, Chelski have bought one of the best teams and one of the best managers in Europe. Anything but a comfortable league title will be a huge surprise - they've swapped ****loads of cash for the best team in the PL, no doubt.

This was always going to be the toughest game this season, and it would have taken a bit of luck for us to get something out of it. Considering the circumstances I think we started very well and have kept playing ok, despite the blow from two quick goals.

Encouraging for the rest of the season, I say.

 

[Rorschach]

chiriches is such a crap footballer its painful. we need to get naughton on at half time.

Yep. He's making mistake after mistake now. Whatever confidence he has going forward really doesn't compensate.

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

Completely agree

 

[El Guepardo]

What have we achieved in the past half hour that can be described as 'playing ok'?

 

[Yiddo]

Hate all the Chelsea loving, they have not been all that imo.

 

[SpurMeUp]

Some quick passing from us. Created real chances to score early doors. They weren't ready for us. But through slightly sloppy defending the are 2 up. Lloris would have expected himself to do better for both goals. But as a team we're not defensively smart yet. Willing but not smart.

Bentaleb shoots rather than keep possession. Midfield lets opposition get wide too easily. Lennon pauses for s split second and does track the run. Fazio does come across to cover. Lloris doesn't cover his near post - almost does etc.

But we're showed signs of improvement. Just keep focused and tight and if the chances come - be ready to finish - and you never know.

Should I stop watching then? FFS Shaney...come on matey!!!!!!! COYS!!!!!

I admite your optimism, but all I see is Chelsea cruising along very happily. If our objective is to just keep it at a 2-0 defeat I find that worse then trying to win it and losing 5-0. I want to see us at least go for it in the second half, we have nothing to lose. May as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb.
