Closed Spurs 1-1 Chelsea

[edetarod 2,155]

whatever

a point away at Spurs

roll on next game

[Magic Lamps 11,655]

Probably it is just another false dawn of Torres

Mazacar is as many said still our best offensive lineup. But that Ramires-Lampard pivot which was unrightfully slashed so much has actually been pretty good. They absolutely had Paulinho, Dembele in their pocket.

Mata is my MOTM tonight, torres is sceond MOTM because of the red card

Mata coming in he second half made chelsea much much better

[The Skipper 20,593]

Regarding our first half performance - I think Mourinho got the team set up wrong. We were inviting Spurs on to us and when we did regain the ball we looked clueless going forward.

I'm glad he changed that during the second half - where we started high pressing further up the pitch a lot more. Mou read the game wrong initially but reacted very well. The Mata for Mikel sub at HT was great.

Again, hopefully this has opened Jose's eyes on the impact Mata can have on our team. Juan is literally the attacking brain of the CFC squad.

[Cosmin 2,484]

Lol. He ruined the mata question because he asked the stupid friendship question.

Exactly. He asked three questions in one (about Mata, about what Mou said to Fernando and about the friendship). Of course Jose only answered to the last one. Reporters these days...

I thought Terry was MOTM. Not only did he score, but he almost scored a couple of other times and was excellent defensively. Hopefully, Mata will start the next game. He provided the spark that was missing in the first half. Oscar was the worst player on the pitch. Torres looked very good. Second yellow was BS but I can't feel too badly for him because he could have had a red earlier. Overall, not a great performance, but a point is a fine result.

Mata is so great. We better not sell him in january.

Torres was fantastic.

And can someone tell me what is wrong schurle finishing

The same problem with many others such as Torres, Ramires, Hazard... it sucks.

Mata > Oscar/Hazard

[Nero 1,838]

fuck vertronghen.

[Cosmin 2,484]

Mata was fantastic, but how many times did you see him in the running as much as he did today? How many times did you see him recovering possesion, running for the ball, helping the defenders? Mourinho knows what he's doing! And this game was the proof.

Same goes for Torres, His attitude improved so much lately. Mourinho is an absolutely astonishing motivator.

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

Now we are seeing how good a man manager Jose is. I haven't see Torres play like that in a long time and Mata did he's talking on the pitch.

[laeth 527]

You can clearly see Mata is working his ass off when he doesn't have the ball; this has definitely come about because Mourinho told him he needs to adapt. Mata is only going to get better under Mourinho - good for Chelsea .

????? Our country has produced some of the most clinical finishers of all time. His problem is rather a lack of Germanism

Chelsea forum "inside" joke - CL Final!

MATA OUT...

Even though Torres played extremely well and worked hard, I have to say he is an idiot. What on earth is that to touch the opponent in the face and scratch??? It was clear that once he performs any kind of a tackle, especially against Vertonghen, he would be sent off.

The criminal first half with Ramires on the wing (Mourinho's selection) and Torres' behaviour cost us three points today. We could have won it in the end but not with 10 men.

I disagree it wasn't meant to be a scratch if you look a the incident again he put his hand on Vertonghen face and was pushed off.. to call that a scratch attempt is pretty harsh.. what grown man is going to scratch another man in his face on purpose..How the incident went down when watching it again Vertonghen dives torres goes to tell him not to do it by holding his face Vertonghen pushes Torres off where he already had a hand on his face.. and then the CUNT Vertonghen again wins the header then holds the spot of his head that the ball hit .. CON ARTIST!!

I also wanted to add that I have seen Terry do the same thing to an attacking player for trying to con the ref in a diving call and no one had an issue with it in the past
