    See it for what it is. This is easily one of Wanyama's worst games for us. He should have come off and Dier stayed on. Poor choice by Poch.

    CM has been the issue today.
    Terrible control when the passes/tackles are pinging around,
    and AVB 2013-14 when they decided to sit back.

    2 shots on target...2 goals. We simply aren't ruthless enough.

    That's twice now that Conte has won the tactical battle against Poch

    Worst possible way to lose that. Need a massive win at Wembley next week to put this behind us or the psychological pressure will start to suffocate us.

    It's going to take a while to make this place home. When you think about it, Chelsea have played there twice since we last did.

    Piss poor all round. If we're going to have any kind of decent season, we need to sort out two things:

    1. Get shot if this nonsensical psychological Wembley barrier and get a big home win ASAP
    2. Kane to get his scoring season to start before November

    Yep.

    After the 2-0 at WHL he knows not to what to do
    against the current Spurs side.

    Worst possible game to have had as our first at wembley. One of 2 teams that ALWAYS turn up against us.
    The wembley hoodoo continues. So frustrating as they were terrible and somehow we lost. Really bad result.

    We need some pace in attack, I'm fed up of watching us have no answers to a parked bus, and trying the same old **** but only ever getting half chances.

    Another example today of how we have nothing on the bench except Son.

    So why are you going on about it ??
    Pochettino was correct : if we do not play well at home we will not win.
    We did not play well today. We lost.

    On the bright side we did have the chelski scum on the rack second half but that's football .we didn't deserve to lose but chelski unfortunately defended really well.
    On another day we could have come out with a win.onwards and upwards COYS

    Hopefully Mr Levy is watching and realises why it's important to get your transfer business sorted early! :emoticon-0121-angry

    Yes because the players clearly showed nerves and apprehension. So many misplaced passes, caught in possession, second best in 50/50's. That wasn't a WHL performance.

    I think that was the worst I've seen Wanyama play since he arrived. So many giveaways.

    So we fans have to stop any thoughts of a Wembley hoodoo and just stay behind the team.
    And while Sissoko is in the squad he deserves our support too.
