Match Chelsea fuckwits (H) - 1st November, 530KO

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

As we’ve been shite for so many years now I’m generally over the loss half hr after the game. Maybe a bit longer if it’s against rivals.
I have no expectations at all this season, as we have so many average players, but the game last night was diffferent. The way we played was so unacceptable. The decision making. Nobody wants to take any responsibility. I still can’t get my head around that fucking free kick
 
Football is pathetic you’ve got players pretending to jog off the pitch at slower than walking pace. No shame left
This is the thing even if players are crap and you have Tamworth fc level of mentality at least fight , show some passion and generally be up for it. That is all on Frank to make it’s in place. We saw nothing, no desire , intensity or anything like that. What happened to Frank promising a fromt foot team and all he said on Friday.
 
Man, it was probably time to let Son go. But holy shit. He still would have been our best attacker and definitely would have scored more than our clowns attackers combined. As for Xavi, i am truly lost for words.
 
You just kne
Really tired of seeing us conspire to pass a ball from the edge of our opponent's box back to Vicario.
w when we won the ball back high up or in midfield we’d go forward for a bit but ball would end up vic. Happened so many times. What is so dumb is that the players and all of that big back room team Frank has put together and himself no Vic is the shitest goalie with ball at his feet. Why give it to your worst player to try make a long pass. Surely Porro or VDV should just do it. Can’t be worse.
 
We were very lucky not to concede many more goals

Shocking performance
Chelsea coulda/shoulda got 5 or 6. Maresca been telling them as much, I'm sure.

I can't get over how ridiculous our 'defending' was on their goal. Xavi clearly not interested in having the ball and just getting rid of it without any prior scanning, plus the pass was undercooked. Micky thinking he's Paolo Maldini, got all the time in the world and just gonna waltz past Caicedo with ease. Then the 'effort' from Bentancur (new juicy deal) & Danso at winning the ball back, plus Vicario (who apart from that was great) getting put on his ass too easy by Joao Pedro.

You want a goal that sums up Spurs of the past few years, you got it. Lazy, selfish, moronic, no shits given.
 
I just don't get it

He should be screaming at the players "What the fuck guys" after a fuck up like that.

But he just stands their clapping like a seal??


It doesn't make sense
He said in post match pc he will need to review why the game panned out like it did. He said theyd prep for press. Wdf could he not see after 20 mins of the game. We could all see what our tactic was and we could see what they were doing. Won every first and 2nd ball and pressed high up. We sat back and let their players have 5 yards space betw them and nearest spurs player.

This

A defeat would usually leave me reeling for days , especially to a rival

But 5 minutes after the final whistle I was over it yesterday

There is nothing being built with this squad , there is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow , there is nothing to be invested in

This squad needs ripping up and starting from scratch once again and we all know that ain't gonna happen

Just given Bentancur a new contract FFS

We are in love with mediocrity, until that changes , we'll continue to bumble along in a depressing circle

I was, am, a Thomas Frank fan but yesterday was abysmal, no need to go into detail as we all saw it.
The lack of "drive" and movement ahead of any player bringing the ball into the middle of the park was non-existent, which allowed Chelsea to quickly close down our ball carriers and win the ball back, or see us having to watch them play backwards.
We were devoid of ideas and far to many of the squad yesterday were technically way off it.

All I can take from the game that everyone involved (especially Frank) learned enough to make sure we never put in performance like that ever again!
Wait for Tuesday ...
 
Wasn't it the Chelsea game that signalled Ange's slow descent into the PL abyss? I hope this isn't the start of a similar slide.
Its always the Chelsea game
23/24 - The ridiculous high line with 9 players... our season crashed and burnt from there on
24/25 - Two up and lost 4-3, and from that point the league was an after thought
25/26 Last nights debacle which will hopefully be the beginning of the end for Frank.
