Spuds Vs Chelsea (PL) Sun 20 Aug 2017 KO 16:00 GMT

Very important win. Gives a lot of confidence after our result against Burnley, our attacking football wasn't good, but our defence looked very very strong, when a team has a strong defence then you have who to trust and now it's the time to build our attack. 

I won't lie, I felt like a CL game. That scream on Alonso's broke my TV:laugh2:

A Strong performance by us, I'm happy! COME ON CHELS!!!!

Brilliant defensive display from the whole Team, and Kudos to Conte for getting the tactics spot on. Spurs had loads of possession but only six shots on target, says a lot about our collective effort and team spirit. Christensen, Bakayoka and Morata all had good performances and the 'media crisis' bullsh*t has been put to bed. Perfect Day!

But... but... we're 12th, mid table anonimity! 

Can't wait to hear Jermaine Jenas btw :biggrin:

PROVEN !!!!  May be 2 years ago but i dont live in the past. Conte loaned him last season and hasnt even put him on our bench even though we are down to bare bones. The dude is past it... He shd be sold or gifted to someone.lol

Morata is getting slated. Yeah, he missed the a great chance but we had 33% of possession. He's not fully fit. He was totally isolated. 

 

He wasnt that bad, terrific defensive headers when we were under pressure. It reminded me of Drogba clearing the ball from crosses.

 

We won't play like that all that often, when Hazard and Pedro are buzzing around him, it'll be a different story. He'll get better.

We are 3 points behind Huddlesfield and West Brom we are in a relegation fight

Pre match Souness was going on about disharmony in the Chelsea squad, at the end he had to admit we showed fantastic togetherness. 

Bakayoko or Matic?  Well on that performance Bakayoko is going to offer us a lot more.

Rudiger needs to develop for the Premier League but he did well and Christensen was outstanding. 

Marcos Alonso was so good that I might have to change my avatar.

Has to be big questions asked about the ref...how did Dier stay on the pitch and how didn't Vertonghen get his marching orders? 

If Cahill's challenge met the threshold for red then they should both have been sent off

I did notice our guys were very careful to stay on their feet when tackling. I think that's why Spurs looked physically stronger than us in many one on one situations.

That's the issue 95-98% of the time Cahill's challenge isn't a red and whilst yes Chelsea don't see much love from ref's I very much doubt we will see that sort of challenge being given as a red again against Chelsea this season. It was extremely harsh.

People can easily claim inconsistency, but in real time each challenge and each decision is very difficult to judge, yes in hindsight it is a lot easier to call,but refs do have very tough job and fans will always claim the ref was against them.

For instance reading the spurs forum posted on here they thought the ref was against them, which I found laughable as for me the ref seemed to give a huge amount of soft calls in their favour.

But one mistake or harsh judgement does not define the law.

Very nervous about today...

But somehow I feel Conte will get our lads ready for this and I expect a 2 -1 win for us...

Will be happy as long as everyone put up a good shift..

so pleased the gut feeling was right....:smile:

Amazing response on the cock site! It gets so personal and comments made you almost feel sorry for them. They obviously can say anything without getting banned.

They get like this every time we play them. It's good to read back the comments from before the game, it's like Karma slaps them in the face. They are so bitter and hateful on that site it's unreal. Hilarious though :biggrin:
