Closed Tottenham 5-3 Chelsea

[Beepu 1,714]

To be honest we were pretty good going forward and I knew we we would have good chances to score, we did. Sadly we were let down by the defending, absolute travesty. Most of the goals conceded are avoidable with proper defending and tracking which sadly didn't happen! Cahill and Ivanovic had a tragic day and it's getting more frequent.

We are level on everything with city, it's back to the starting point for both

Chelsea's next 6 games

10 Jan 2015 v Newcastle (H) BPL 17 Jan 2015 v Swansea (A) BPL 31 Jan 2015 v Man City (H) BPL 7 Feb 2015 v Aston Villa (A) BPL 11 Feb 2015 v Everton (H) BPL 21 Feb 2015 v Burnley (H)

City's next 6 fixtures

10 Jan 2015 v Everton (A) BPL 18 Jan 2015 v Arsenal (H) BPL 31 Jan 2015 v Chelsea (A) BPL 7 Feb 2015 v Hull (H) BPL 11 Feb 2015 v Stoke (A) BPL 21 Feb 2015 v Newcastle (H)

They have slightly harder games coming up but they are in better form, but we've had our tougher games played and hopefully we can consistently winning matches again while hoping city to slip here and there.

we move on

[Beigl 1,387]

It's even more frustrating than the 5-3 against Arsenal back in 2011.

[bluephoenix 1,125]

I blame everything on Frank Lampard as club legend shouldn't have gone to city !!!

[Special Juan 27,099]

Not when its 5-3 absolutely not

It's a bad result but too many around here want to go to bed, and forget it, it won't go away it's football and it happens.

Just deal with it and go and batter the Geordie scum.

happy fucking new year

meanwhile lampard's busy rubbing himself in peanut butter and touching himself

[DYC. 7,542]

Ivanovic was awful

Cahill has to be dropped for 4 games minimum

Willian does not win games hes been so lacklustre of late

Oscar is the same

Fabregas needs to massively work on set pieces. Countless times he didn't get corners past the first man or hit freekicks into the wall.

Mourinho really needs to make more influental changes earlier he leaves it too late.

Disappointing

Think you should watch a vid of Fabregas' assists this season WHS. Set-piece assists galore.

Agree with the rest. 8 point lead; poof, vanished. Sigh...

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

Mourinho looks like he wants to explode with rage.

Salah should definitely start more often, I think he's better than the other RWs. Finally, Oscar had a bad game, got rolled over. Ramires is fucking useless, I have no idea why so many of you rate him.

Finally, ZOUMA FOR CAHILL, and Azpilicueta on the right. Ivan deserves to be benched indefinitely.

[LAM09 6,546]

Hazard was the only one who turned up, and our defence today was the worst is has ever been. Mourinho needs to thoroughly look through his options, and pick the right line up against Newcastle.

[mannyfreshh 164]

Cahill should be dropped to the championship, his decline is that rapid and bad. Courtois was bad, matic was bad, Oscar was bad. Embarrassing performance .

[LemmeBorrowThat 124]

- Tottenham thoroughly outplayed us

- Our guys are clearly tired

- Mourinho has to rotate more and make changes quicker

- Our defense was terrible. Terrible terrible terrible

At least someone else around here is speaking some sense!

[yuvala 2,167]

Man.. coming home from the army to this, thats tough.

Great start to 2015 ah ?

We'll win against City I'm sure

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

Oh and hand the shirt back to Cech.

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

After this performance, our future captain poll's results look ridicilous. Cahill and Brana are not captain materials, they can't be leaders.

Credit to Hazard, Cesc, Costa, Terry, and last but not least Dave.

Yeah probably a bit of a knee jerk reaction from me, but his set pieces today were well off par.

[chrismada9 1,948]

Not very many people make Cahill and Ivanovic look ordinary...

Harry Kane made Cahill and Ivanovic look ordinary

Still sitting in the corner..

[didierforever 7,349]

awful awful awful performace.

even at 3-1, we dint need to be so gung ho. no composure whatsoever. gc and iva were terrible. JT had another off day. cesc and matic were horrible. why does cesc need to try his hollywood ball everytime we win the ball back especially when there is hazard right fucking next to him. the set piece delivery of his was another disaster today.

hazard was just brilliant. probably his best performance.

we need to regroup. a string of 1-0/2-0 wins.
