Tottenham 2-0 Chelsea

[Blue Armour 4,168]

If we do raise our game here, hopefully it stays like that for a while.

The opposite happened against Dortmund, where we played well, only to fall flat against the Saints.

And this is a problem that's been there before Potter. Players seem to choose the games they want to turn up for., and are generally out of it in the league games when we are a. Not playing a big opponent or b. Out of the title race and/or top 4 contention.

[Laylabelle 9,302]

Wow if we win tommrow we can go from 10th...to nowhere!

[bigbluewillie 1,807]

And..

Haaland has scored more goals in the league by himself 27 than the entire Chelsea squad 23 

Don't give me much enthusiasm for the spuds game.

We won't lose this. Win or tie.

Despite our issues, and they have their own, we still have WAY more quality in every freaking position bar #9. Yes, Kane is dangerous and can score out of very little, but they are not a quality team.

Dude, we were better than Fulham, West Ham and Southampton. Arguably Liverpool as well given their Midfield problems and out of form defenders. Quality doesn't mean anything if you don't have a good manager to take advantage of it.

Forget the manager, the players need to step up as well.   If the players actually cared, they would have done everything possible to save face with the fans and at least fight back against Southampton, but no, it was another pathetic performance and we allowed one of the worst defenses in the league walk away with 3 points. 

This game against Spurs is a massive test for every single player in the squad, if we lose to them, that may be it for this group of players.

Our issue is the scoring..theyve scored 44 and we've scored 23. Defense wise we're better but if past results are anything to go on they only need one goal to get something from it.

Hopefully the players can step up and actually look like a team rather then a group who have just met and start scoring!

It would be nice not to stay on one goal in February. 

[Special Juan 27,104]

What worries me is we aren't aggressive and they are, plus our lack of goals does point to another sad day

[Special Juan 27,104]

Ziyech, Havertz, Sterling and Koulibaly wow just wow

Sterling was always going to start. He was our best player in the second half against Southampton when he came on. No surprise.

Koulibaly is a strange one. You can only think that Potter wants to build a rapport between him and Silva by time of our crucial second leg against Dortmund.

[DDA 9,570]

I'm fucking done with this clown... hes clueless. Havertz uptop again when we are desperate for goals. 

Fucking hell mate.

[nyikolajevics 2,428]

Feels like Potter randomly rotating players, waiting one of these lineups will magically work. 

[Special Juan 27,104]

Badiashelle dropped for KK is madness, not only that if we were going to change it up Fofana would be the one next to TS

Fofana was really good against Saints

[DDA 9,570]

I'm putting £2000 on Koulibaly to get his first yellow within the opening 10 minutes. 

 

 

[Special Juan 27,104]

Potter may need a gum shield and protective shield, this is going to get nasty if we lost this and based on that line up

[NikkiCFC 7,595]

Cucurella and Kovacic not on the bench. We don't have FB on the bench. Expected lineup only KK over Badiashile or even Fofana is strange one.
