Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea

Good shot by Aurier. Shame Kepa's not playing.

 

God I hate them so much I find it really hard to watch this match

 

Like watching a heavy weight fight both teams sizing each other up before the knockout punch

 

Ziyech in the book. Cynical one on Reguilon.

 

Ndombele should've gone for that. Our final ball's just not quite been right today.

 

We all know we are going to lose today even if we do play well. It’s just what happens away at Chelsea!

 

Good bit of RCL there CJ

 

I always always think negative in this match! I have £20 on Chelsea to win! I will do my best RCL’ing. I’m a work in progress though a long way from the finished article

 

Good pace from Reggi to get us out of defence

 

0-0 HT. A cagey, close match, so far.
Neither side overcommitting very often and very few chances for either side.
Both managers determined not to lose.

 

They are definitely afraid of potential Spurs counter-attacks.
For Spurs the issue is no forward ball-carrying in CM.

 

Would you be happy with a point?

 

Neither team really doing much to test one another’s keeper. Lot of stray passes from both sides too. Kane and Son not been involved enough.

 

Yes. We've got an awful record at Stamford Bridge and I think it's one of the toughest fixtures for anyone this season.

 

Always happy not to lose away.

 

Tense watch but Spurs have shown Chelsea the quality they have which has inhibited them a little. Either side have the quality to change this in the blink of an eye, all a bit scary.

 

Quite an even match I would say, even though Chelsea has had more possession. Chelsea are definitely wary of Spur's counter attacks.

At the moment, I would be content with a draw but I am hoping Spurs can nick a goal because at the moment, I think Spurs are more likely to score.

 

Just be grateful if you're watching this without a) Andy Townshend commentating and b) feckin' Keys and Gray in the studio!!

Otherwise... Decent half, just hope we don't rue the missed opportunities...

 

100%! We have won there once in 28 years! I was at that match and it was unreal! But we always seem to lose even if we are the better team we will find a way to f*ck it up

 

Thought we started really well but faded after the first 20. In a way that's a good thing as we rarely string together two good halves but I'm worried that we'll make some costly mistakes.

Rodon looks very green and I think he's probably starting for squad management purposes more than anything, as he can't play EL. Long term it's probably the right call but I'm a bit worried it might cost us today.

Sissoko's been very good so far.
