Tottenham have to be the most pathetic team around. All they ever do is try and force a reaction to get somebody sent off.

& it works for them. Clearly they have a plan. People wanted emotion & passion, well here you go folks!

Guaranteed if Potter doesn't take Ziyech off he'll get a red

Must defend the ref here. He was told to send Ziyech off but when he saw it himself he made the correct decision. The c**** in the VAR room are trying everything though.

I can only imagine what that looked like !

Got directed to yet another adult site when trying to stream !

We just get worse and worse.

Never seen that before. Good on the ref for doing the right thing in the end.

He caused it all by not giving out obvious early bookings, letting the game heat up and not cooling it down.

Nothing positive about that half. Only attempt and Havertz was offsides from Sterling’s shot. 
 

Same old same old.

Initially thought that was a farce (looked like Ziyech shoved Emerson). The VAR replay made it quite clear that Ziyech slapped him in the face.

I wonder whether Attwell issued the red card so he had the opportunity to see the replay.

Oh, he's rescinded it. How utterly bizarre.

For me it depends on the camera angle, from one angle it looked like a slap, from the other it was a shove to the shoulder that then caught his face afterwards.

What I can't work out here is if we forget the Ziyech bollox for a minute, wasn't Emerson Royal booked as well. Didn't he then commit a blatant dive to the floor not two minutes later. When did they bring in a yellow card amnesty for simulation.  Diving fcker. Surely that was a second yellow

Ziyech and RLC both confirming why neither should be the starting line up. Playing with 9 men. 2 subs at half-time please.

The worry is I just can't see us scoring whereas they have Kane and no doubt Son will be on second half. Will take a draw now.

Maybe people can stop whining about the ref now and Potter has another reason to hook Ziyech

then he can hook half the squad

and I will contionue to be nuclear towards reffs as they dictate with their deccions how the game will flow

We desperately need a striker. We haven't had a striker for so long to the extent that players have given up making long balls into the box.

jessica chastain?

If you say so

Sterling is 10x better on the left than the right. Bar the goal, he looks really dangerous.

Another meh half of football.

Hard to discern what they have been working on in training this week ...

Le Saux talking out of his f**king arse. It was a push in the shoulder and his hand slipped up onto his neck. Not a "slap in the face". Stupid twat.

Does Le Saux ever stick up for us? comes across jealous that his career was dwindling when Roman Abramovich came in.

Broja just needs to recover from injury, he's the real deal, #18 cool number too

Sorry for Silva but in the end we won’t see the future chelsea until fofana settles in. I’d hook ziyech at half time and need a bit more from RLC. Otherwise kind of ok. No goals of course v

Thankfully the ref over ruled that fraud Tierney

the red wa on a suggestion from the sideline reff

Now can we remove Ziyech. Either bring another CB or bring Mount or murdyk 

Fofana was surprisingly good. I really hope he can stay fit.

 

Another half of boring slow football . Both teams have lacked quality hopefully we take off zyeich he’s been awful and was lucky not to get a red 

Officiating aside, that was absolute dull as f**k from us. Time wasting mid way through the first half, Jesus wept.

I’ve turned over to BBC2 and in about five I have had more entertainment and heard a better atmosphere from watching our women’s team. The quality isn’t there, but the endeavour and enthusiasm shames our men’s side. And I’m not sure the quality is that different looking at some of our players.

Can we please have a game where we don't bore the viewers 🙏

I'm sick of these emotion runs high games against these lot. If the ref did his job properly from the off, we wouldn't be in this mess
