Sp*rs match reaction

[Marc Overmars]

You say that, but Saturday we were set up to get a point and as soon as we went 1-0 down. The players thought, well that hasn’t worked....

This negative approach is why we haven't done anything of note against a rival away from home in 3 years. Well, except that time we beat Chelsea 0-0.

We park the bus more than Mourinho.

We used to go for it but then we got stuffed 6-3, 5-1 and 6-0

Goes to show no approach will work anymore under this shite manager.

Aye we need a wop ideally

Was that the time when we thought we'd done great, even though they were there for the taking, then everyone else and his dog took points of them at the Bridge?

Not...really. Since we played them they lost the next home game to City. Then they won the next 7 in a row. Only side of note was Utd:

L City
W Watford
W Man Utd
W Swansea
W Newcastle
W Southampton
W Brighton
W Stoke
D Leicester
L Bournemouth

They've wobbled in the last 2 home games and their home record is not that of champions but generally it's not true to say that they've been dropping points left, right and centre at home.

Chelsea have been average this season, they might have won a few games but they've looked a shadow of the side they were last season. They've been very beatable, thought they were awful against us in the Caraboa, toothless and short of ideas, even before that although they won games they weren't playing great.

Other than City everyone else has been hit and miss or average. Liverpool and Spurs are the next best sides, but they have been inconsistent, but quality wise they're the next best, then Man U and then Chelsea who are the weakest of those sides IMO.

Liverpool and Spurs may well be City's challengers next season and possibly Man U if Mourinho gets things right over the summer.

I wouldn’t disagree

I think Liverpool are the most entertaining team, but are beatable. Spurs have done well in Europe albeit against Real Madrid and Dortmund who have had very dysfunctional seasons.

In fairness though City have dropped ten points all season, that’s ridiculous. No one was getting near them this season.

Chelsea are destined to be inconsistent whilst they maintain their policy of sacking managers at the drop of a hat. No conte hasn’t done well this season, but for me you don’t sack a manager who won the title the previous season unless he’s going to get you relegated.

I’m not sure why they got themselves into the situation they did with Diego Costa

I'd agree with that, Liverpools attack is phenomenal and they're great to watch, if they can somehow sort out their defence and keeper they'll be quite a team. Spurs are good all round, not a good in attack as Liverpool but they have Kane who scores for fun and a couple others that work hard and scores goals, defensively they're pretty good, the most well rounded of the challengers.

Yes City have been phenomenal, but again their attack is phenomenal, Aguero, Silva, De Bruyne, Jesus and Sterling who's pace they are making the most of, they also very good defensively which helps.

Conte messed up with Costa, he was basically their star striker, their go to guy for goals, they sold him and replaced him with a guy who has been massively ovehyped since the day he came on the scene, Matic was a big loss too, Bakayoko may well turn out decent but he's not settle yet. I don't know what to make of Conte, I know they won the title but I remember us playing them and beating them 3-0 and was surprised at how easy we found it, again in the up final we managed to get one over them, then he falls out with his goalscorer (big mistake), something about Conte isn't quite right for me.

It might be he didn't pick the players that were brought in, but he seemed happy enough with Morata who is awful IMO, the bigger issue for me is how average Chelsea look though, how he's turned title winners into such an average side is beyond me.

I agree with this, I actually think Chelsea are as bad as us, I honestly don't rate them. If they lose Hazard this summer they are in deep sh*t IMO.

Their recruitment is pretty questionable too, Drinkwater and Barkley?!!! Even some of their foreign buys have been questionable, I mean Morata they massively overpaid for, Bakayoko may come good...that Italian guy they have as backup wingback is just OK....they have spent millions on garbage IMO.
