Sarri will change it and we will be better 2nd half. Poch has outsmarted us by having 4 attackers and closing down our creative players.

Everton did something similar first half last time out.

Looking at hazards first penalty appeal. It’s pretty astonishing we didn’t get it.

Might be worth tkaing Jorginho off, putting Kante in his normal DM position and having Barkley on. But I feel like Sarri won't change the system.

Even the Swedish commentators saying Atkinson should be suspended for not giving that 1st penalty...

Why are you peopel still doubting this or that ref?.........ITS ALL OF THEM........the sh*t is bent as f**k and it seem no matter how many times we get done for people still dont take it seriously. When was the last time we got anything vs spurs? Hell vs anybody. We are crap yes.....but whomever are in power constantly make sure we get nothing and opponents everything.......f**k epl.

We don't have a plan B, nor the players for it...The only player that can make a difference is Hazard and he will get kicked down. I don't see us scoring this game.

That 1st half was extremely reminiscent of 15/16... the lads don’t even look interested. And how tf is Martin Atkinson a premier league official?

BT have literally just shown Martin Atkinson looking directly at the foul on Hazard and he’s said that he’s looking at the upper body? What was he squinting to not be able to see their legs as well?

People say VAR will sort these decisions out, but I'm not so confident of that. Just wait, we'll be seeing the " it wasn't a clear and obvious mistake" rule used against us a lot next season.

The worrying thing is Zola said we had a plan if Spurs tried that! I hope this isn’t the plan!!!

Absolutely pathetic. So many flaws in the team. Not one player has shown anything.  Morata being Morata. Kante is seriously so average in this system. I am glad he has signed a new contract but I must say for the reported figure he has signed, he has not shown the performances anything near what he is earning. Another average display. You compare him to Sissoko who does all the running like Kante but has a much bigger effect on the game. Sissoko has actually had a better season than Kante imo but he won't get the credit. Not scapegoating him but I find it bizarre that people can't see how average his performances have gone in this formation. Azpi has been roasted too and I would rather we bring on Zappa because he has that piece of attacking nous. We could be like 5-0, 6-0 so actually I will say the only player who comes out with credit is Kepa. Bring Barkley on too as none of our midfield three will score goals. Ridiculous.

Easy, they have wanted it more than us since kickoff. You don't start slow, especially against your rivals. 

I think physicality is a factor here also 

Our defense are too deep. Not brave enough at all. Kane and Son are dropping deep unopposed and running at the back 4 at will. We need to be brave push further up the pitch - if they beat the offside trap then so be it. You could fit a plane in the gap between our defense and midfield. If you allow Kane and Son to pick up the bar between the lines unopposed and run at our defense, we’ll concede 1 or 2 more.

Saying that, we were not allowed to gain any sort of foothold in the game as the referee has been absolutely shocking from the 1st minute! How does this always go against us in the big games!!? Bring on VAR, I cannot wait. Kane dived for their free kick for their first goal - never a foul. Hazard’s was fouled for a jailed on penalty, but what a suprise, nothing given. Hazards 2nd wasn’t a pen though. Every time Kane goes down it’s a tee kick , the cheating c**t and incompetent refs.

Well if by that you mean the fact that Spurs players can go hard on our players but when our players try to do the same it's a foul...
...then yes Spurs could afford to do whatever they wanted physically this game just look at the yellow card that Hazard got and compare it to how Alli jumped on Luiz and kicked him down.

Come on Chelsea

THeres absolutely no way we get anything now.......even if we score 1 goal you Watch how the ref will even it out. Its a done deal.......

At least the new server is passing the acid test.

We can’t do much worse in the second half but I can’t see this team getting three goals tonight. At this stage I’d be absolutely delighted with a draw.

This. They are getting away with a lot more physically which mean we need to move the ball quicker and not be slow, but our players are playing like they just game jogging from their countries to London

Kepa is world class. He's been the only standout today.

Come on new server !!! Up the Bandwidth !!!

That is the problem with Kovacic in the side over Barkley, he should have been the one looking to get on the end of that cross from Kante, but he doesn't have the attacking instincts to do it.

Who is that Number 22? What it is Willian, what is he still doing on the pitch!

Morata and offsides...

Lmao. Morata flagged offside again. We have an expensive paperweight up front.

FOR f**k SAKE - HE'S OFFSIDE AGAIN!!!

willian cannot f**king weight a through ball to save his life, Morata will score but it will be offside, his runs are all mistimed
