closed Chelsea 0-0 Spurs

[Special Juan 27,429]

They are waxing lyrical over this point for Spurs, I don't get it, they didn't have shot in the second half and Kane and Son touched the fucking ball less than me.

Eng footy media....being biased is the name of the game.

[MoroccanBlue 5,306]

Good news is Pulisic/Werner/Ziyech is back and our defense is still sound. 
 

Let the media rim Spurs. Long season ahead. 

[Atomiswave 6,072]

Tottenham in the second half:

41% possession

0 shots

0.0 xG

0 dribbles completed

A masterclass indeed....or so we will be told.

completely outplayed them, City also outplayed them and created many chances, but they couldn't defend against them or keep them quiet.

We can't  score against top 6/higher level teams.
 

We still need Pulisic at his best and Havertz as midfielder to create enough chances for our strikers.
Mount Kovacic and Kante will never create enough good quality chances to beat big teams consistently.

Tbf it wasn't the attacking shit show sevilla and united was.

Had a couple of good chances from crosses and ziyech had a decent chance to shoot in the box. Mount forced a good save from the edge of the box.

Ziyech simply played poor and with no pulsiic or havertz the creativity fell to him.

So last season has been erased from existence then?

Based on today's evidence, the finishing touch just wasn't quite there. As long as we continue to create chances in these games, the goals will come.

What chances? Crosses and Mount shot from 30m?

We did not have good offensive game.

Ziyech and Tammy were horrible and Timo average. 

Against Sevilla and United we also did not create anything. All 3 games were painful to watch!

I think Ziyech had a better second half though.

You're making it out like Spurs are some mugs that didn't just hold the best attacking team in the league to 0 goals the week before. 

Werner inches offsides

Ziyech missing that chance in the box. 

2-3 crosses Tammy should of made contact with. 

 

Those are 4-5 chances off the top of my head where on another day we could of scored.

Too much respect and fear. 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,483]

Before today I was skeptical about how much noise a couple thousand people make in a stadium. Jaguars stadium (TIAA field) holds 67,100 and with only a few thousand today, it makes a significant sound. From our seats today you can see how few fans are here.

 

I think even a small amount of fans at EPL games will give the home team a boost.

Mourinho masterclass for sure, what a joke.

Yeah, the script was already set.

You can already see in the match reports how they are saying they got the result to move to top of the table.

Thank goodness, they couldn't win though. It would have made those reports even more nauseating.

It wasn't the most exciting of offensive play but we still showed enough attacking intent and created chances for a game as close as this. Abraham should have scored at least 1 of the 3 chances he had and Giroud fluffed his lines at the end. Against a team that parked the bus, 1 goal was always gonna do it. We knew it was always gonna be a game of fine margins against an in-form Mourinho side and we just didn't take that one chance. 

It feels like Lampard is still searching for the balance in these big games and is channeling his inner Mourinho in the meantime. Last season, we looked vulnerable defensively but good going forward against the big teams. This season, it's been the opposite so far. We haven't been great going forward overall but have looked much more defensively secured at the back. Last season, we lost all the big games against United, Liverpool and City before beating Spurs and Arsenal. This season, we have lost against Liverpool (with 10 men) but gotten points against United and Spurs with Arsenal and City still to come. The expectation will be that we must win some of these games at the very least down the line but for the time being, it's good progress.

Its only because they're top of the table currently. 

Fucking annoying, but I'm already starting to forget about this game.

We have more interesting games ahead of us.

I think the chances we created today are decent enough, considering the type of opposition we played today.

You won't create too many against teams like these.

Especially when in the second half they sit back, thus eliminating our chances to counter.

In those instance you want your attackers to make the most of the half chances they get. Giroud in the center could have helped in the 2nd half.

If we had Pulisic fully fit and starting, that might have also helped unlock their defense, but he didn't have enough time to make an impact today.
