Good to see Vialli at the ground considering his recent health battles.

I don't understand why we won't kick it up a gear. This is spurs 3 rd game in 6 days. The worst thing we can do is keep the game close because anything can happen with 20 mins to go especially with that twat Ali and lamela to come change the game

To be fair, pressing for 45 mins is nigh on impossible for any side. Gotta take your foot off sometimes. 

Totally agree but we’d only been doing it for 15 minutes when we scored!

Am thinking now we could do with Willian.

I expect/hope that he’ll come on for Barkley at some point.

That's not true, he's a left striker back 

 'back' ???? is pushing it a bit.

Maybe the plan is to tire them put and then unleash Willian, Tammy and RLC in the final 20 minutes !

Jesus Barkley is f**king sh*t, keeps ruining good opportunities. 

That’s who I’d bring on Willian for 

1-0 up at half time is good for most teams but not us. No faith we will hold on 

 

Good to have the lead, but we need a second.

A one goal lead makes me nervous.

Willian on for Barkley at HT please. He's getting into the right areas I'll give him that but he's wasting so many opportunities in the attack, that was a truly pathetic display when he was 1 v 1 with Sanchez. 

So the key here is not to fall asleep in the first 10 min of the second half.

A good first half, we deserved to lead the game, but our biggest test this season is the second half.

We should continue with the press, tactically focused in the defense and keep that possession forward. 

Everything works well, but I really hope that Lampard have the right words for the second half, let's not lose it, let's win it.

COME ON CHELS!!!!

Give Barkley a break, he's out the team most weeks, but when he shows up he puts in a shift, and remarkably we usually win.

Well HT 1-0 up and every fiber in me body is saying that they will bring that dele on to turn the game for the Spuds since we cant seem to put games to bed .

Hope iam wrong ,but thats just how games at SB have panned out so far .

question is can Spurs play just as bad in 2 nd 45 mins ? 

Maybe we are saving ourselves for second half. I hope so anyway!

Happy to be winning but this spurs team is poor, we are good enough to get a few more goals. It’s cool though we have Loftus Cheek on the bench! Abraham and Willian too. Strongest bench we had all season.

Well said Coco.

Happy to see we are winning at HT but sat here with a 'WTF' look with the number of times we have been 18 yards out from the spuds goal only for the ball to go alllllll the way back to our goalkeeper. Cab must have had more touches than Jorghino this half....frustrating.  Need another goal to see this out. Wouldn't mind seeing RLC have a bit of a run out this half as well as Willian to drive at Spurs back line.

It's the danger of the 3 at the back you can't do much and it's way safer to start all over again than to lose the ball in midfield. Just too many players all around the midfield, this is why it's good to pass into space.

Mason Mount should be called Jack Russell. f**king love the kid.

He gets kicked so much and just picks himself up and keeps running. Amazing young player, proper Chelsea right there.

He's not a kid anymore, he's 26. He's out of the team because he plays like this.
