Chavski Vs Tottenham - League Cup Semi Final (1st Leg) - Wed 5th Jan KO 7:45pm, live on SKY

[Doom Funk]

I can't even talk myself into this anymore. We've had so many shit performances over the last ten years, where we've said "well they've got to spend now". Never fucking happens.

and if we do spend we'll spend foolishly

The Tottenham way

 

[Nuts]

Incredible we're only two goals down.

However, I remember us folding to Ajax and then having a half hour of magic so I'm not giving up just yet. But what a tragic performance so far.

 

[The Mercurial No.10]

Ashley Cole really does have a face you'd never tire of slapping with sore hands.

 

[ElTel]

We missed Virgil van Dier

 

[Zomb]

Romero and Dier will make a big improvement in that 11. We need a RWB, CM and limited injuries to compete for top 4

So So bad

Tanganga - had an absolute mare cost us two goals nearly a third
Doherty - played LWB has NO left foot - awful only ever looks to pass backwards
Hojbjerg - poor, slow, laboured, cumbersome. his worst game in a long time
Emerson - absolute attack killer, slow thinker

So gutted

Your last point is painfully obvious. Royal takes so long to make a decision / move / pass. A few times he received the ball in space but simply took too long to develop his play. By the time he decided to cross the ball his defender had caught up and blocked it.

 

[McCOYS]

We got beat 0.2 by the CL winners who are also the second best team in the league.

We're rebuilding 4 years too late and have bought poorly.

"if you compare the 2 teams there is no comparison"

Conte

 

[Andrew Y]

We should celebrate losing 2-0. Chelsea are a team that recruits the lots of Lukaku, Saul, Thiago Silva, Ziyek, and Haverts. We bring in Doherty, Roden, Emerson, etc in comparison. If my Sunday league team lost to Crewe Alexandra 2:0 we are having a team orgy. No fair bashing the mediocre players for performing what’s expected of them.
Expecting otherwise is supporting Levy’s grand scheme.

 

[Shadydan]

Reality check

 

[ElTel]

"if you compare the 2 teams there is no comparison"

Conte

Cant argue with that

Another nudge nudge wink wink towards Don Levy

 

[Airfixx]

Until we get a good right wing back we need to knock 3-5-2 on the head. It offers nothing.

It was 343.

352 would at least give us an extra body in MF which was desperately needed.

The difference was that Ajax were playing liquid, champagne football. I wasn't even mad down 3-0, it was fair play to them.

Chelsea weren't even good today, they just came up against a team that appears to have been mixing ketamine into their lucozade.

Last one in the shower is a rotten egg!!!

 

[Kane's left]

Perspective. Chelsea need to pick up the phone and rely on the russian to bankroll their classless club. Conte needs to put his stamp on team. And levy needs to deliver or we will always be chasing our tail.

And Conte needs to collect foodstamps and nectar points to get new players in. I know which one I'd prefer!

 

[FightingIllini]

I've finally found a positive. If we do somehow by divine intervention or similar miracle, go through in the second leg it will be the pisstake to end all pisstakes.

We were better tonight than we were the first leg against Ajax

 

[poch's coat]

I have tried to stand up for him. But royal is actually harming the team with his slow backward play.

I’d rather have Doherty there. To be honest I’d rather have a wheelie bin play there instead.

 

[Distaste for scouse]

Starting to wonder if its just better for us to go out of the domestic cups at the first hurdle every year rather than this endless stream of Semi-Final and Final no shows.

Our squad can't fucking cope so there is some logic to just doing a Burnley and sacking the cups off rather than pretending we are a big club while we spend fuck all and drift further behind.

 

[ElTel]

Doherty at left wing back :contelol:Conte unashamedly trolling Levy

 

[Sir Archibald Crooks]

It was difficult to tell but whatever it was whilst we only have Emerson and a dreadful Doherty, wing backs wont work, certainly against decent opposition. I also think to really make that system work you need a couple of really good ball playing centre backs as well.
