OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea

[Pirate55]

Fabulous move again. Son on target this time but great save from their keeper this time.

 

[Seedy Ron]

Would consider taking Son off.

I wouldn't. He's not got his shooting boots on but the rest of his game has been very good.

 

[mudshark]

What a time that would have been to score a third.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Best 45 minutes of the season. Granted it hasnt had much to be better than, bar a few exceptions

 

[markysimmo]

The phleghm’y scouser is watching a different game to everybody else, he is a joke

All brill for us but Dele & Eriksen have been incredible

 

[scaramanga]

Should have been a red

 

[Seedy Ron]

Excellent 45 minutes.

 

[scaramanga]

First one was a Pen tbf

Not complaining mind.

Doesn't mean it wasn't a dive

 

[NaijaSpurs]

How has Hazard not been booked?

He has now

 

[Goose]

best 45 minutes for a long time. Sensational

 

[mudshark]

That's the one he should have had for the dive.

 

[Legohamster]

Doesn't mean it wasn't a dive

He took his leg.

 

[Baleforce]

I wouldn't. He's not got his shooting boots on but the rest of his game has been very good.

He’s keeping them honest at the back, they can’t go man as they have no one who can match his pace

 

[Legohamster]

best 45 minutes for a long time. Sensational

Yep.

Should be out of sight.

Always a worry when playing this lot.

Considering how the last few games have gone - one team completely dominating the first half then losing

 

[Pirate55]

Ht 2-0. Best first half For some time. Great high pressing . Back to the old Spurs. Son could have had a hat trick. Chelsea came back in the last 15 mins but largely limited to a couple of half chances and one clear penalty shout. Keep it up Spurs. COYS.

 

[Rorschach]

Brilliant. Shame we didn't get a 3rd as that would have put it to bed.

The performance was based on good pressing and high work rate from the off, from everyone. You could see we were tiring towards the end and they were coming back into it. My only criticism is that we are still not clinical enough. Some of those chances we missed really should have been taken. Overall though I'm delighted.

 

[indospurs]

Well, who'd thought we'd be 2-0, ruing more at HT ? Very good thus far, need to start second half as we finished the first. Everyone has put a shift in, Sissoko has been on form much to @scaramanga liking, I'm sure

 

[milo]

Fabulous move again. Son on target this time but great save from their keeper this time.

 

[DubaiSpur]

The best half of this season, bar absolutely none.

There was movement, and there was fluidity.

But there was also *energy* - none of the lethargy that has affected us so often on so many of our godawful displays.

And that energy bred confidence - the sort of careless, supreme confidence that allowed Alli to shimmer and mesmerize defenders, to evade challenges that would otherwise have won the ball in more mundane moments. The sort of confidence that allowed Eriksen to stop, think, and gently, imperiously loft the ball past five defenders to Son for what should have been an easy goal. The sort of supreme confidence that allowed for razor-sharp, line-breaking passes that bypassed the entire Chelsea midfield and fell to the feet of an onrushing Son or Kane, thundering forward like charging bulls while Chelsea were weak, panicked and helpless.

The only regret is that we're only 2-0 up. It should have been 5.

 

[Kandi1977]

What a fudging beautiful 1st half!! Not seen us this good in some time! Should have been 4 goals in front!
Oh, and that fudging diving clam Hazard should have been off!
Let's smash those clams in the 2nd half too!
COYS!!!
