Bluewolf Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 Would be surprised if we got a result in this... expecting defeat so anything else would be a bonus
True Blue Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 Spurs four wins out of five in the league, Chelsea four defeats out of five? It looks like it can go only one way, hopefully we can bounce back from the current relegation form.

You would have thought having worked under Mourinho and knowing what it takes to win things that some ( not all ) of his defensive tactics might have rubbed off on him a bit...

On the less negative side I think we will score, just won't score enough...

You definitely have a chance

So were West Ham, Everton & Bournemouth... total goals conceded by us in those games 5 scored 1 and that was against sides that were struggling... I do not expect any sudden changes in our approach which will leave us open at the back let alone adding in playing our old manager who has just started getting Spurs back on track...
Subscriber Dan+ Posted December 20, 2019 Subscriber Posted December 20, 2019 All logic tells me Tottenham win this. This season however, this kind of logic just doesn't seem to apply, therefore it's a 1-1 draw, with Chelsea going ahead and chucking it.

carefreeluke Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 We went to City the other week and had more of the ball than them and that's not gloating at all as we were made to pay for individual mistakes off the ball or on it and that's been the story of our season in these big games really. Our trajectory since Man United away at the start of the season where we were defensively poor as a unit and in transition, to the present day where it's purely individual errors and game management that are costing us, is an interesting one. As I said those problems about transition and defending collectively earlier this season have been addressed, it's individual errors within the style and general game management that's our current Achilles heel. People may put that down to the 'young players' but in recent weeks we've had the likes of Kanté featuring regularly which wasn't the case earlier in the season and generally relatively more experienced starting elevens but the problems are still apparent. Likely to be Dier and Sissoko in midfield? Every game is different but I'll imagine we'll dominate or have more of the ball if that's the case but I can't see us having a game where our individual mistakes will be eradicated or a game where our game management is of a high level. History this season suggests we'll play with a lot of personality, take the game to you, maybe even score but miss some good chances ultimately to concede a goal from a set-piece and another goal to someone falling over at the back and leaving a big gap for you to exploit but football is football I guess. Let's see..

Don't expect to get a result but if we draw I will consider that a decent result away and if we did manage to get the win then obviously all the better..
Cicero Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 Yeah, never let Willian cut in like that. Great finish
Bluewolf Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 Bloody typical... my daughter pops up to ask me about a laptop for xmas and while I am looking at it online we score....
DeadLinesman Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 Dier and Sissoko in the midfield. Boy this takes me back 12/18 months
Bluewolf Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 I would be booking players for blatant blocking and shoving with no intent to play the ball.... no skill in just barging someone off the ball and yet they get away with it.. bit of a joke
Cicero Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 He hates Spurs. Tactical masterclass so far. I’m astonished.

Although Spurs have been dreadful it has to be said. Nobody wanting the ball in midfield for them at the moment, no options. They can only improve second half.
Bluewolf Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 I have not seen a flying kick like that since Cantona.. what was he thinking?? Glad we got the second... playing really well, credit where it's due

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted December 22, 2019 Subscriber Posted December 22, 2019 FFS, Jose out and bring back Poch.
