Wasn't able to watch because was in the Porto stadium. The statistics show that we were the better team. Were we?

Ah I don't want to see Sissoko again, useless.
I always find that question nigh on impossible.
Yes in some respects but never so dominant as to say yes with conviction.
I did not think this is a game we will not lose today and last season I nearly always felt that.
For me we do need players but even more we need our stars to wake up which of course they might if we had more players.
Better team? No.
I agree. That's why I don't get how some people could say we'd get on fine without Walker because we have Trippier. He is good but he is no wingback
I'm sorry but Davies and Trippier are simply not good enough.
Our full backs are integral to how we attack as a team.
On that wide pitch, we need a much quality wide as we can get.
I know it's only the second game, but Poch needs to boost our squad with real quality in the wide areas.

It was weird. Everyone surprised. It looks he's on his way out.
Thanks mate! And now I'm sad.
Fuck Chelsea. Fuck them.
Also, they stole those 3 points. It happens, because football is cruel.

Not good enough to be honest. As Poch said, it's not the pitch if we're good enough.
Today we weren't and the players let us down. So much for the Chelsea "crisis". Still, 3 points next week hopefully.

I think we need to downplay our dominance. The game that i watched, how the hell did we so fragile defensively, at one point i saw Eriksen tries to cover LB without a backup behind him, mind you its not counter attacking play.
Maybe Davies is tired, thats why Poch take him out.
Lloris should had save that, but i dont understand why anybody could blame him for his throw. Yes now it looks suspect considering how Wanyama plays all game, but we are trying to win the game at that time, and Wanyama is the best way to sent the ball on counter. GK will never consider the form of his teammates for a distribution. Unless maybe there is Eriksen being really close to Wanyama, then he should have pass to better player with the ball.
I bet you any other player would have sent the ball on a dangerous counter besides Wanyama, Dier might i guess. Dont know why but he often dont aware of his surroundings whe he is on the ball.
Also i have said this for quite a while, we need a player that is good with corner. Davies is not a setpiece taker. Eriksen not bad on corner, but also not great.
Yes they are lucky to win this, but we should be better, much better.
This defeat is on Poch and Wanyama though. Hope he catch up real quick. How did Poch think to play him on CB is a curious one. He is way off today, even in short period, we see people get pass him at ease.
Shit, i hate losing to this lot.

Yes, we were. Except for Wanyama who played a shocker. They had a perfectly executed free kick, a goal from one of Wanyama's many mistakes, a huge chance for Morata early on in the game and a shot from Willian hit the post, other than that we ran the game and created the chances. The last fifteen in the first half and first thirty in the second was all us, and it remained a mystery for a long time how we failed to score.
They had two shots on goal and two goals. Did to us what they did in the semi last year.
That one really hurt. In a week that's seen some fucked up terrorist shit happen in my back yards, a row with my mrs and a family member at death's door, it would have been some nice relief to have been able to walk or of wembley without hearing several thousand racist cunts lauding it up over us. Special wanker badge to the cunt and his family in the flat overlooking wembley way bravely goading us with his Chelsea flag and wanker signs.
Fuck Chelsea and that murderer who scored for them today

Even though I don't agree that we didn't dominate, I will say that we should've done more to win. The few times we tried to go through the middle with some quality, their CBs looked very fragile. Should've been exploited. Rudiger and Christensen were not solid.
Strange and frustrating day out.
Embarrassed by the flags and silly drum - understand that the club are trying to kindle some WHL atmosphere but just let us and the players get on with that...
We were slow and sluggish to start. Morata missed a sitter with the header and when Alonso lined up the free kick it had goal written all over it.
Their goal woke us up however and the 15 minutes leading up to HT should have seen us equalise at the very least. In the 2nd half we carried on where we left off with a flurry of chances before regressing back to the error strewn and tentative beginning of the game.
Our goal came out of a set piece at a time when I was beginning to think it wasn't our day. From that point onward though, there was only one winner - fucking US - until a big flapping balls up hurt us massively.
I was quietly concerned about our season at Wembley, now I'm shitting it. We have a mental block against Chavski - this lot we're there for the taking today and we bottled it.
Couldn't agree more about the full backs and yes, I too never want to see Sissoko in a Spurs shirt again..

Can't remember a single game last season that made me as dissapointment by the result as today's loss to a shit Chelsea. The thieving cunts did not deserve this. It hurts so much more to lose to those fuckers than most other teams. I think they are now my number one most hated team.
They have no redeeming features, kind of liked Conte for a bit last season, but he's turned into a cunt as well...
5 wins in 51 Prem games against Chelsea.
Yep 5 in 51 - nowhere near acceptable...
Crystal Palace would be disappointed with that sort of return
