*** Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea ***

[Pirate55]

Now four and a half games with zero creativity. Only one goal from open play in that time actually created by us. That was Kane's last gasp strike against Morecombe. I'm not counting Mouras solo effort as he robbed the defender so no assist there.

Absolute gash.

After watching this why would anyone Not want Traore. Yes his final ball needs working on but he scares defenders and makes things happen. How many of our current lit scare anybody other than ourselves?

Scaring defenders is not going to get this lot anywhere near top 4 . Scaring defenders does not counter balance the fact he has Woeful end product .

I'm late to this, but has Hugo been kidnapped or something?

Some rubbish about lots of games coming up for Lloris and that Gollini has played in most of the cup games before etc.

 

[Baleforce]

nah, at the least he would have beaten him and stood up a (easy to defend) cross

nah, he'd have fallen over his feet and shanked it out for a goal kick

we'd be better off getting Sissoko back, even in his mid 30's he's better at everything than Traore

A still shows nothing, the tackle continued, it's where the final contact was made

Again some of this performance is on Conte. We were pressed relentlessly in the first game because of the lack of control on the ball of the back three, so to combat this he plays the same 3 at the back again! Add to that a GK who has not played many games, a RB at LB despite an exciting LB on the bench. Our problems are starting at the back which then means we don't have a platform to attack from.

My point is that if it’s a free kick, it’s a red card. No one is getting between PEH and the goal if he’s not fouled.

I'm going home. Train from Northumberland Park at 21:10.

Always wondered why people think defenders would be scared of a player that never scores or creates even though he has them on toast for speed - I'd love playing against him, you crack on mate I'll just watch you fudge it up from 10 yards behind

 

[braineclipse]

Not that bad, but needed luck to go our way to get the first goal really. Given the players missing I don't think we can expect that much more.

Individual errors, caused by having too many error prone players on the pitch.

Still in it even if just by the slightest of margins. Will be interesting to see what Conte does at half time.

 

[FolkestoneSpur]

And the boos ring out, as is now the norm.

Not sure booing at HT is going to help. The effort is there, this is just a very average first XI.

I think the booing is for Levy's benefit.

Tanganga in particular is making rash judgement trying to win tge fans over.

 

[Daisuk]

Not the worst half of football we've played, so people booing after that can go fudge themselves. Gollini gifting them a goal. Should've had a pen. But this is pretty much good night obviously.

 

[Rorschach]

Why not both.

Not much fun this Spur’s supporting malarky tonight?

Agree on his end product but this can be worked on no? Especially with a world class manager like Conte. He's the kind of player that gets fans on their feet and we so badly need that. It's all so boring at the moment.

Strangely I've never seen teams take that approach, they seem to more or less want to double up on him or prevent him from getting service.

I'm sure some manager at some point will catch up to your plan.

Don’t blame you. Safe home.

 

[AdamB]

Wonder whether playing Gollini is to prove or disprove him?
