Referee giving them every single free kick lmao

Is it just me or whenever we play with Giroud we don’t play to his strengths? We never get it into the box for him to attack or play it up and get players around him. Then he’ll go off and we’ll start doing exactly that. Very odd 

Callum has been the stand-out player so far.

One of the common themes with Frank's Chelsea is that we seem to lose shape easily amd players don't really know their places. So many times we see 3-4 Chelsea players goimg for the same ball or opposition player.

Oooooooooooo when the spuuuuuuuuuuuuuurs go marching in. Repeat ad infinitum

Giroud has been quiet so far. CHO excellent. 
 

Mendy likes to come out for the ball a lot doesn’t he?

Love seeing Mount in the middle, so much more effective there.

Wish we could find a permanent back 3/4 ...chopping and changing every games doesn't help...yeah I know its only a cup game but we don't play until Sat would be good to find some cohesion with our defence.   Need another goal before the break.

Spurs not even coming out of their own half, it's like they are protecting their lead in the 90th minute of a CL final. Embarrassing display.

Giroud needs to move better here. No one can play off him here. 

Kovacic needs to speed up his decision making.

The engine on Mount is incredible, the guy never stops running!

To be fair this is a good tactic against us. Give space to Timo and you lose quickly. They don't have their usual pace up front today. 

Better all round performance by CHO today, especially defensively which is what Frank was looking for.

Jose talking about he's giving up on this cup and meanwhile Kane is getting ready to come on

Calum is playing well 

Spurs obviously came to defend

That is Kovacic for you. Middle of the pitch he is at home. Close to a box he is out of his depth. 

Need to get in at half time 1-0

Typical Jose game plan when playing superior opposition.  We need to move the ball a lot quicker between the lines and down the channels.

Lamela has got one of the best punchable faces ever, the c**t.

That's true but they are not even trying to counter attack.

Second half we will see Kane so we will need to be aware and try to get the second goal 

I'm just going to come out and say it, there's nothing worse than a bald referee. 

What a pass from Jorginho, Giroud wastes another one

Apart from the goal we haven't had a shot on goal or any penetration despite all the possession, have we?
