Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea

Vertonghen and Toby having a battle to show who is on the decline the most

 

The way Spurs have played all season has looked like another drubbing isn’t far off, even the games they win, the opposition get far too many big chances

 

Verts is done at this level I’m afraid

 

That's a bad one by Lo Celso. Stamped on Azpilicueta.

 

No red card. Lucky to get away with that one. Should be off, in my opinion.

 

I think slo mo made it look worse than it was. Bad challenge but not a deliberate stamp I thought

 

Oliver Clattenburging the game by letting everything go and losing control completely.
I can see this getting ugly.

 

So much for employing somebody with a winner's mentality...

 

Lamela replaces Ndombele. Neither can play 90 minutes.
We need to change our shape and that doesn't do it.

 

Christensen booked for a cynical one on Moura.

 

Ndombele has looked like a bloke getting out of Chick king before his Mrs spots him, how the F**K can a professional footballer look so out of condition

 

This is sadly predictable.
In key most matches against the bigger teams we have been clearly second best this season.

I do worry that Maureen is being out thought most weeks and that our players are giving up the ghost...

Our decline is as brutal as it is rapid

 

How on earth is Lo Celso still on the pitch?

 

Don't know. Looked a red, to me.

 

Abraham replaces Giroud. Must be nice to have some strikers!

 

Again, for years we've been told he is the master tactician - yet so far we can say that's he's correctly prepared us for two matches, and we could say that about Juande Ramos

 

I don't think that's a high boot from Lo Celso, but it's a foul. He catches Kovacic on the hip.

 

Barkley replaced by Willian. Ran out of steam in the second half.

 

Alli and Aurier replace Bergwijn and Alderweireld. Still five at the back, then.

 

Decent save from Lloris and Abraham does a Phil Babb.
