Our team celebrating at the end – was nice to see. Our kids, celebrating like a team. Caicedo. As always a stand-out performance. Captain Enzo, another great performance and a goal. Cole Plamer – he didn’t do too much today apart from a sublime world class penalty and some other stuff Sancho – beautiful goal. Great game. He would be my MOTM. Badiashille was alright today.
Statement from some ex Liverpool bloke named Carragher, on BBC feed..........What they [Chelsea] are doing this season is something that was totally unexpected from a lot of us, myself included. I thought they'd be in a serious fight for Champions League positions. I think that man [Enzo Maresca] probably felt the same but right now this club are right in the mix for a title challenge." Yeah, Fcuck you Carragher
I could see if this was a one-off, but we consistently concede soft goals. Better sides will punish us and not let us back into matches, we’ve seen that.
Well that was the usual Spurs v Chelsea chaos! We did really bloody well to win after gifting them a 2 goal head start! Putting the chaos to one side I think that ultimately we were the better side of the two and deserved the points.
I am really enjoying the squads dynamics, harmony and togetherness. I feel sorry for the players who are not in the team, but this 'group' is now truly a group. Enzo manager is really proving to be a good manager and I had my doubts about him. He is motivating this team/squad. He is getting his tactics right and if not - then he is willing to change things. He has capacity for change and that is vitally important. Whats the deal with Romeo Lavia? I understood he came off as a tactical change - and he was by no means having a bad game. He was having a good game with some excellent forward passes. But a change was needed. Now i have heard the rumour that he came off with an injury. Anybody got anything? Seems like he has joined the hamstring club - Wes Fofana, Reece James and Lavia.
Was moving to a new house over the weekend, so listened to most of the game on the app while driving to and fro How often do you guys listen there? The commentators are generally awful but when Palmer hit the panenka the joy was infectious. Poor fella could not control himself and started making animal noises. It really summed up the mood from that game better than actual words could
Lavia had a tightening feel in his hammy so he was taken off as a precaution, the thinking is it is minor, lets hope. Lavia also posted a picture of his head with an open wound from the violent elbow assault. Like the two Palmer calls, AssTaylor seeing it clearly and var saw nothing excessive. Is ridiculous we are the only team not getting those calls.
They were being safe with his hammy and he was likely always going to be the sub for Gusto so Moi could finish in the mid. The head blow also certainly contributed. Wonder if they may have had plans for him mid week or if it was going to be KDH and Casadei.
To be honest with you though he could easily have sent off Caicedo, although i don't see his 'challenge' as bad as what Palmer was on the end of the two previous league games.
He looked like a clear red to me. I mean if it is a head injury are they not supposed to stop the game, fly in a helicopter and bring in the grand master inquisitor to dispense justice?
