Closed Tottenham 0-0 Chelsea

[cosmicway 1,333]

We lost 3-1 to lesser quantities.
Re. the league it's a shame to see teams like Utd-Lei-Gooners-City ahead of us.

Idiot? Seriously? You didn't see the last goal we scored in the PL?

Look closely at the Norwich goal, he had more space to do it, but today in a crowd of Tottenham players with the Ref right in the mix, he failed, but the reason i called Fabregas an idiot is, while he hitted Willian and could have hurted him at that close range if the ball hitted his face, imagine if the ball hitted one of the Tottenham players, in a game of this nature you could have the same scenario as last season against West Brom, where in this case the Tottenham players would surround the Ref and Fabregas could have been sent off for violent conduct, and maybe costing us the game in the process. It´s a hypothesis, and we definitely don´t need the FA breathing down our necks again ( Costa, Mou´s comments, etc ), because they like to use anything they can against us. Cheers

Happy with that.

Im not happy. We need a bit of the Klopp philosophy. The way LFC play is incredible, Klopp has changed average players to world class players. Mourinho is tough on players, but we need the Van Gaal style tough.

my wife who is highly intelligent (cept in marrying me ) recognised at once the qualities that Klopp has .. Wish Marina had been so perceptive

Taken from another Chelsea forum by regular match going supporter with a view that many match going supporters had today.

"Time to shut the tvvats who moan. I was in the away end today without the need

of a commentator to tell me what to think. Chelsea were the superior side even without a recognised striker up front. The attacking midfield worked their balls off and our defence was solid.

Spuds could only stop us by fouling the granny out of us when in promising attacking positions. That is the most dangerous we have looked against alleged title contenders (sic) after players two sides I wouldn't wipe my behind with. One of whom drew against the flawless Arse today.

Two elbows in quick succession agst our players in the second half... And then a Spuds player moans cos one of his shoes fell off.

We were happy to take a point with 10 minutes to go. Pedro, Willian, Hazard and Oscar look a great combo up front. Fabregas did more shoite than good, but his good stuff was defence-splitting.

Now go and watch a match live... Go to Kiev... Go to Tel Aviv... And stop regurgitating the usual stuff that so many schadenfreude-loving "neutrals" love to hear."

Points made about the match I agree with

Just love it when fans have an opinion just based on stats without seeing the whole picture.

We were far from being very negative and looked better in possession than we did earlier in the season

[Laylabelle 9,535]

Our next 5 games are Bournemouth (H), Porto (H), Leicester (A), Sunderland (H), Watford (H). Keep your chin up people, hopefully we can get 10 points or so out of our next 4 league games, beat Porto and then everything will be looking quite rosy. We'd qualify top of our CL group and would be in about 7th in the table going in to christmas. Hopefully the players can start bringing the finishing touches to their play.

We've gotta win but at the same time teams above us have to drop a lot of points.Which probably will happen hopefully wrong but cant see it being quickly.Be nice though to zoom up a lot.Less ahhhh more ooo

I think that's pretty reasonable of ZolaYes. Some people express opinions that they decided on well before before kick-off.

oops twice

[Chelsea Buzz 487]

Played better but failed to win. A draw is "ok" considering the start of the season. Performances are better, except for Cesc who has lost his mind. Thought we just missed on a few attempts that were either just barely wide or a great save by Llorris.

The effort is improved and hopefully we can finish out 2015 strong over our 5 matches in December. Are there 3 or 4 wins in there? We have only given up one goal in our last 4 all competitions and only 8 over the past 10 matches. Need to find some goals to go along with our improved back line.

Come on you Chelsea!! :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

Klopp and Ranieri are doing well, with average players.

I have n't seen the Spurs, neither yesterday.

Gooners, City and Utd do not impress me.

I like City's type of passing game though. But somewhere there is a fly in the ointment in that team.

Perspective.

Something a great many of you lack.

We're enduring our worst start to a season in twenty years, and you expect us to go away to a club on their record unbeaten streak in the Premier League and win, when we'd only won 40% of our matches prior to that?

Two wins and a draw from three games - including two away from home - with three clean sheets, since the international break. When things are going badly, you need to rebuild, and to start from the back. No point scoring two in a game if you're conceding the same amount, or more. We've put together a decent little defensive run now, and that is the foundation to further success. Beat Bournemouth and Porto in consecutive home games and all of a sudden we have some real momentum.

Spurs kicked our arse when we were flying with a bang average team last season??? So where's the perspective in that?

I get your need to defend our display - but calling for perspective is a little over the top IMHO.

And saying no point in scoring two when you will concede. When (against any decent opposition) have we ever looked like scoring 2 goals? I would say Southampton last season. That's the really worrying thing for me - we couldn't score in a brothel right now...

So there's no need for perspective, the results don't lie - we are a team that can now defend better, but still cannot string a few passes together and look like scoring. Nothing has changed from *any* perspective

I think we need to take the situation into perspective. I think you may have misread my point: I am saying we should be content with a point. Right now, would we be disappointed with a point at Anfield, the Emirates, Old Trafford or the Etihad? I don't think so, going by our performances. And right now, you have to put Spurs up there with those teams. They are bang in form and could turn any side over right now, IMO.

We need to build from the back. There is literally nothing in football that breeds more confidence than a clean sheet. It encourages the forwards who know the defence behind them is playing well. Things will click into place soon. This is the start of a season-changing run for us, and we'll need to look on this as a good point won, rather than two dropped.
