Thought he put in a good shift, especially in the second half, tracking back and closing down, put some of the other players to shame with their effort.

Bayern wanted him in the summer. Offered Tolisso and 20 mil euros. They might come back for him, hopefully. He needs a slower league or a big team, who isnt pressed that much to show off his slow but good technique skills.

Spurs started frightened.
Cheatski pressed us and we shrank back, unable to string 3 passes.
They had runners and options and were knocking it around neatly with 10 yard passes that had 90% chance of meeting their target.
We were isolated, pressed by 2 players within 1 second, playing ugly scraped passes that had 10% chance of meeting their target.
This is the 27th time I have watched that performance at that ground against them.

tough match but we're miles away from Chelsea, Liverpool, City, if you didn't already know that then you need help.
Also, this wasn't a weak Chelsea outfit but their first team almost all over the pitch. Few changes, like us.
All i can say is, we're half decent with a full strength team, the moment we lose just a couple of that first team, we're utter brick. We have terrible depth in the squad that is totally unbalanced (Ndombele, Winks, Lo Celso in the middle but absolutely no one half decent at wing back or full back with Sessengnon out injured AGAIN).
Give Conte what he needs and he'll work magic

He's taking the correct pragmatic Italian approach with a squad that is sadly bang average. First thing is to stop conceding and since he's taken charge the team has been a lot more solid defensively than before. Sadly our away form continues to be poor and against top teams like Chelsea, we'll be especially exposed in ALL departments I feel.

Think he meant give them the clap.
Unfortunately probably only moura has been involved in more.

Couldn't agree more. If Nuno had said that, he'd be ripped apart. Love Conte but he knows enough about football to know we'd rather cut our hands off than applaud that mob.

Mostly agree and guess it's my anti pragmatic Spurs DNA that is always hoping for more attacking team selections.
We'll hopefully see more of that once Conte has a squad he trusts.

Yep
He has been here roughly 10 weeks I think

Hmm, looking at how close the shot was taken to him, he'd have had to have a superhuman reaction time to do much different.

He’s only been here 5 minutes tbf, taking on the Champions League winners, away, without his best 2 Defenders.
if Chelsea were up for it and didn’t rotate, which they were and didn’t, then we were always going to be up against it. I was hoping for a -1 deficit or better going in to the second leg, but I think -2 is about what I expected.
Hardly a disaster losing 2-0 to a team who are clearly at a higher level than us. It shows where we are at the moment as Conte acknowledged in his interview.
