I'd say we were better than against Leipzig. It doesn't mean much since I'm not happy with the performance anyway, but we should be able to create more chances against them. I'm not giving up hope.
Quite liked our first 10mins, we played high up the pitch and won the ball off them high up the pitch too. With Bergwijn ahead of Lucas meant Bergwijn was bringing Lucas into play.
Then they scored and we’ve been largely outplayed since.
Ndombele is miles off the pace and simply has to come off, I love his on the ball ability but he simply isn’t getting on the ball and is being beaten to the ball by a quicker Chelsea midfield.
Tanganga has a torrid first 20mins but looks to have played himself back in.
Had we not played in CL midweek I’d be wanting us to respond by upping the tempo, I just can’t see us doing that.

You Are Genius
What he does is retain and recycle the ball - playing the ball to the man who makes the final pass. A poor man's Modric if you will. Ok, a broke man's Modric. Point was that Winks doesn't fit well into a counter attacking side.
Dour first 45 there. Let’s have a bit of positivity on the thread for the next 10 mins...

He had a good game.
I’d be thrilled if he had another.
I like him, he runs his heart out and he’s being played out of position. His defensive approach is like ‘Scholes on ice’. Not his fault.
Let’s give Skipp a chance.
Modric had incredible playmaking ability. Winks has literally no creativity. The difference is huge, Dembele is comparable to Modric in terms of effect on the game, Winks is just a body.
Got to look at changing the shape. Vertonghen in all sorts of trouble trying to play out from the back, and dreadful for the goal.
Ndombele doesn't want to play for us anymore, he's so fyckinh fragile, as much as he's talented, the asking of time he's lying down over small touches is fucking shit.
Who sold dembele what a moron, all the players knows he's the best player that ever come to spurs, he can't shoot but all the other attributes outshines everything

Hard to play a low block / defensive setup when Toby and Jan are finished. Our problems are in attack, but our weakest positions are at the back right now. Even with 5 man across the back we concede shooting opportunities to less than killer balls.
Need to change formation / personnel second half to reinvigorate us.
