Chelski v Tottenham BT 5:30

Sugarlumps

Won't catch this tomorrow. Best we could hope for is a draw, haven't won in that shít hole since Jesus was roaming the lands. No idea how the back four is gonna line up. I like Conte and Costa. I guess out of all the teams in the league, I detest these the most.

Kiith

I expect them to beat us. They've been playing very well, and we've been poor. We've also been holding onto this "Undefeated" tag for too long now. Let's get rid of that and start trying to figure out what the problem is. Obviously, i'd take a win or a draw, i'm just still pissed after the last few performances.

4-1 to Chelsea..Hazard and Costa are on fire at the moment.

Heart says draw, but brain knows the answer....Poch please reuse your City plan and stuff the bastards.

DubPerryman

Hard to see past a defeat, though we were low before the Arsenal game and we pulled a draw out there. A derby is a derby.

I hope we don't lose our heads like last season. The crowd will be on Dembele's back so he will need to take it easy.

With the injuries we've got, it's most likely going to be four at the back.

tippspur

I don't know who is going to play left back but surly Vertonghen has to play CB after the way Dier and Wimmer played together against Monaco,no pace whatsoever between the two of them,or else play a back three,dreading this game but you never know, last years encounter should give our lads a bit of motivation at least.

Left Back on the Bench

I may be completely wrong but i hope we start laying into them from the word go. They're a bunch of plastics with their blood money.

Besides it being a derby last season must still sting. Any news on Toby being fit?

Kimsang

We always play better when the pressure is off (I like most others here see Chelsea clear favourites). I hope we can give them a game and play good football.

I read toby is back training for Swansea game.

prodsc

Lloris (C), Walker, Dier, Vertonghen, Wimmer, Wanyama, Dembele, Eriksen, Dele, Son, Kane

Subs: Vorm, Trippier, Carter-Vickers, Winks, Onomah, Nkoudou, Janssen

Beaut Eriksen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tippspur

Some strike !!!

Jason 5pu45

This is more ****ing like it.slick passing, high pressing and eriksen finally finds the net.let's keep it going

golfball37

Looked nothing but that was a penalty on Delle there

Jason 5pu45

Oh piss off the most undeserved equalizer ever

MonkieSocks

He got too much space to spin and shoot.

Great Goal though.

Terrible to put in all that effort and dominate the game and concede just before half time.


COYS

Go again lads

Jason 5pu45

Easily out most impressive 45 except for the city game.if we keep it going we can win

NomadicGray

Good play and very importantly a good attitude so far. Keep it up and we can have something here.

tippspur

Pity about that Chelsea goal,it was probably our best first half of the season so far.

Diers inefficiencies as a centre half exposed again.Is toby ever coming back,?

Jason 5pu45

Dembele giving the ball away all night

MonkieSocks

Ah Jayus.

Giving away the ball cheaply caused that goal.

Our crisp passing game has gone out the door

Jason 5pu45

Dembele again caught in posession ffs

Jason 5pu45

Our left side of defence is so exposed.Wimmer all over the shop and Moses having all the space

golfball37

Son is stone cold useless

MonkieSocks

Son's first touch, very poor.

We need Rose back, quickly.



Bring on Winks. we need his urgency and pace

Yes, awful first touch. He has had very few good games for spurs
Ship him out in January

Jason 5pu45

I hope poch asks santy for another decent centre half, another creative midfielder and a striker.Our squad is starting to look stale

We haven't played badly yet haven't created a chance of note. Season in a nutshell.

I don't think we have played well this season but for 1 or 2 games anyway unbeaten run goes and unless we improve our squad it's back to a top 5 or 6 for us

tippspur

Decent enough performance,we need Toby and rose back in defense asp.

MonkieSocks

Their equaliser just before half time , against the run of play, changed the whole game.

It seemed to suck all the confidence out of us.

We need to get a run of wins together, now the unbeaten tag has gone

KingdomYid

Dembele had a stinker, cost us both goals. looking like top 5 at best now with the squad we have.

Eric Dier also.his defending is shambolic at times

positivenote

we lack creativity big time imho. Lamela is missed, and again I cant understand why we paid €30 for sissoukuo (?)... and yes I do wish that that was not a typo and we put the money towards a no. 10.

DubPerryman

The first half of the match was enjoyable, we dominated and played confidently. I was praying for us to go into the half time break one up but then Pedro's goal changed the game. The confidence seeping out was quite visible. The heads started to go down, Chelsea started winning all the 50/50s and the passing game from the first half disappeared.

Before starting our three London derbies in a row I said we will draw with Arsenal, beat West Ham and lose to Chelsea - so I can't be too disappointed.

We've gone long periods without key players and we've dropped to seven points off the top. Poch needs to get the players back fit as quickly as possible and look to revert to the 3-5-2, it is the most balanced system that suits our squad.

I notice Coutinho and Ferminio are injured, plus Mane is heading off to the African Nations Cup, so it will be interesting to see how Liverpool play without their key players.

I do think they will drop off now. However, they are playing one game in a week at the moment so it's benefiting them too much because, they can do Gegganpress (sp?) effectively. The real test will be next year when they will have to play twice a week (if they manage to finish in top 5 or 6).

The only player who does this hard pressing effectively is Lamela and his through balls always lead to a chance. However, we do not know when he will be back.

Re: Sissokho - Poch said he did not make the bench because of tactics or similar. Should we believe him?

I also read McKenzie has also left the job. Is it true?

Nothing to do with tactics, he isn't trying a leg in training. Unless he shapes up, he'll be banished. Once you get on Pochettino's bad side, your as good as gone.
