OMG !! 1-0 Is this lead to early?

Nobody did.

This could backfire spectacularly or be a stroke of tactical genius. We will soon find out. Pooping it even more now.

Yes, we've been nobbled.

Exactly. Looks a bit bonkers to me.

Unlikely.

Looks like it. What on earth is he thinking? No Cahill, Costa nor Hazard. Are Costa and Hazard on the bench?

Spurs last win against us in the FA CUP was in 1982. They have lost 7, drawn 7 and won two of the last 16 meetings between the teams. This side is probably their best so the Stats count for nowt. I'd rather win the Prem than the FA CUP. I'd love to win both of them if possible.

Me neither, he gives me the jitters and JT is probably to slow now to cope with Spurs attack. Ake to start.

Yes, that's the problem......lack of height. Spurs play a high line defensively so balls over the top and Hazard and Pedro will have to run like whippets.

Not feeling too confident about this match. Spurs are on fire at the moment and we looked very poor against Man Utd. They will tear us apart if we are not strong in midfield. I'm sick of waiting for Costa to turn up and I would drop him. I'd play 5 in midfield and two upfront. Hazard-Willian or Hazard - Pedro. I'd bring on Fabregas later in the match in midfield. We need steel in the middle to stop the supply lines of Spurs. Cahill could be missing which is another headache. We haven't had much luck of late. Let's hope we get some today. COME ON YOU BLUES !!!

Totally agree. We have become too predictable.

Didn't know that. Morata has said he wants to leave Real Madrid in the summer and will work with Conte in the future. Be good if he came to the Bridge.

Yes he's a half a season player but we need to out him in the summer and bring in Morata. Morata has worked with Conte before at JUventus. He's a good striker I would like to see at the Bridge.

Costa told Sky Sport that at start of season he was wangling for a return to Atletico Madrid. From his performances over past few months it' looks like he's still wangling for a return to Atletico Madrid. He also told another news outlet recently that he wants to stay at Chelsea to continue his partnership with Hazard. LOL.

Maybe Zouma.

Conflicting reports in the media as to Courtois's injury and Alonso's sickness. All papers are saying both will return for semi final but FOOTBALL INSIDER are saying both will miss semi final. Who to believe? We will find out Saturday. I find it hard to believe that Alonso will be missing from Semi due to sickness and if I'm honest I find it hard to believe Courtois will be missing when everyone and their Granny says he will be fit for Saturday. We need both of them to play. Fingers crossed.

After yesterdays debacle I can see us getting smashed by the Spuds. Courtois and Alonso need to return for us to have any chance. Costa is a waste of space and I've given up on him. We are effectively playing with ten men. I'm fearing the worst next Saturday if our formation has to change due to injury/sickness. It's not looking good for our prospects this season in the FA Cup nor the Premiership. We look like we are in trouble.

Just one horrible day. Friends Kodi box wouldn't work and 5 streams went down on me. Plus all that you've mentioned above. Head F*ck of a day.

Bring on the Spuds...................

But that's the team we have played for nearly all the season. The shape isn't the same without those missing players. You can be asured that we wouldn't have lost if Courtois and Alonso had played.

Yes but they were fine when they had the normal 11 against Bournemouth. Against Palace we were missing Moses and today you know the story Today missing Alonso and Courtois.. If we have those 11 on the field we get results.

We said that after Palace defeat.

Spurs will smash us next week. Could be without Courtois and Alonso. Begovic seems to be an unlucky jinx. In reality we have lost to a goal that shouldn't have been allowed and a massive deflected goal. That's unlucky. Man Utd have deserved it as they played better but on another day we might have had a bit of luck. Oh and 5 streams died while I was watching match. What a day.

We are behind to a goal with a handball in the build up. Ref Should have given that It's ridiculous our luck today. You couldn't make it up. We are trying but our shape isn't good with Alonso out. We need a piece of magic from Hazard or Costa. PRAY.
