No they are not it's just spurs who are absolute class and are now the top side in London and I'm having it large tonight. You better get the cheque book out as we are not going anywhere.

Spurs the best side in London raver? 😂😂 On form yes and you’re playing well to be fair but remind me how many major trophies have you won in the last ten years? You’ll win nothing again this year you’ll bottle it like normal haha.

Spurs fans go from game to game and NEVR remember or reflect on a seasons performance!

Agree13 Disagree1

02 Nov 2017 07:58:37
I suppose you guys are top team in London, current champions and a manager who has full trophy cabinet, just perform, apply pressure, fall at last hurdle then repeat, lol but fair play jokes aside spurs were fantastic.

Agree3 Disagree0

02 Nov 2017 11:05:39
All of your trophies are well paid for by romans billions otherwise you would still be that little club I grew up with in the 70s and 80s with a dog track around your ground lol.

Agree0 Disagree4

02 Nov 2017 11:28:11
Arsenal got slated year after year for going ten years without a trophy, Liverpool and spurs don’t get enough to stick for not getting anything in the cabinet, FA cup, league cup, europa league. winking a trophy breeds a winning mentality so don’t blame money on a failure over last 10 years. Spurs have the funds,

Agree2 Disagree0

02 Nov 2017 12:18:40
Spurs might have a lot more funds if they decide to sell their players at the end of another season of winning zero!

Is this the same Raver who said he wanted pochettino sacked after west ham and then Man utd game? You probably should stop using substances mate for a day or two.

Agree3 Disagree0

02 Nov 2017 15:02:25
Lrdit I did say poch is underachieving with this current squad and I will stick by saying if spurs had Conte or mourinho we would win trophy's. I've always said poch has done a good job at spurs but will never take us to that next level.

I don't think so Matt.

01 Nov 2017 21:10:21
Hope not but wouldn't suprise me. He hasn't had a fully fit squad all season bar a few games. Hazard, Morata and Drinkwater started off injured, Bakayoko was rushed in and hasn't been 100% all season. Suspensions to our defence, then Kante and Moses with injuries. Conte has been criticised for team selections at times and rightly so but everything that was right about our season last year is going wrong this year. For him to be under this much pressure when he's had such bad luck with his team is truely unfair imo. Once this team gets fit we'll be back on track. League may be gone, but maybe one of the domestic cups and a good run in the CL with top 4 is more than capable.

Agree1 Disagree3

01 Nov 2017 22:32:11
We had all the luck last year with hardly any injuries and no champions league. This year everything has gone wrong with regard to injuries, and another poor summer in recruiting enough class players has really hit us.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Nov 2017 06:37:19
Could be worse, we could support a club like Spurs and win nothing!

Agree12 Disagree1

01 Nov 2017 17:51:50
Is there any chance we can recall Loftus-Cheek and then sell Cesc in January before his price tag drops down? I tried telling all the Cesc fanboys 18 months ago he hasn't got the legs for a top team anymore. Remember the days we had a midfield three who could attack and defend in Ballack, Essien and Lampard the only player we have here now is Kante. I envy Bayern the most at their midfield in Vidal, Tolisso and Thiago now that's one heck of a midfield. What we need is true box to box powerhouses again. Nainggolan is a true example. I don't care if he doesn't want to leave Italy make him like we use to be able to when we were the dogs. I've wanted him here for years the lads an absolute warrior. Can pass, defend, shoot from long range. I'd love to see a RLC, Kante and Nainggolan midfield.

Is it certain that Kante will be fit for the ManU game? The last I heard was that he is still doubtful for the game.

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Nov 2017 08:52:10
Depends on the paper you read. 50/ 50 some are reporting but I think he will play.
Bakayoko has an ongoing knee problem that he has played with and I wouldn’t be surprised if Drinkwater and Kante both played.

What's the difference between 50/ 50 and doubtful?

Every game that we have won this season has been by serious hard work and fight on the pitch. If Chelsea players excluding Hazard and Kante think they are so good, then they should think again.
Lots of average players.

Believable2 Unbelievable4

01 Nov 2017 12:12:16
Hazard hasn't really impressed me so far this season, I know he had that injury but besides that Atletico game he hasn't really stood out. We know he has the quality but he needs to show it game in game out.

Agree4 Disagree4

01 Nov 2017 13:23:40
One league goal from Hazard and a mini drought from Morata and that is basically our goal threat gone; we need another goalscorer asap. The Atletico Madrid has lost a lot of its lustre given the way they have struggled this season so all in all we are hanging in there but I would imagine Conte is going to have to make some brave decisions. As I said before Luiz worries me, he's slipping into that irritating player he was before he left and we do not need any one else sent off. Cahill is going backwards and we desperately need a solid left back with pace.

Agree4 Disagree0

01 Nov 2017 14:19:30
Bobby23, Hazard was superb at Bournemouth (a masterclass) and at home to Everton - don't know what you're watching (or smoking! ) .

Agree5 Disagree5

01 Nov 2017 14:58:44
Miss Darren Wood, I'd hardy call Hazard's performance at Bournemouth as a masterclass. Even his goal should arguably have been saved. Bournemouth gave Eden space to look good. Hazard has shown us glimpses of what he can do this season, but nothing more.

Agree3 Disagree2

01 Nov 2017 15:21:19
It’s bigger problem than hazard, we play cesc and bakyoko and it doesn’t work so cannot create enough and really use the possession, when we then play 3 in middle with wing backs and hazard behind morata then we lack the width, morata takes blame when team doesn’t create ( and has missed few sitters ) then we play long ball to hazard which is pointless, also with a midfield not pressing and not covering ground efficiently enough we invite pressure then mistakes come and players try cover other players and end up out of position etc, that and to many changes to back 3 haven’t helped, with Kante comes back it can add to having the right balance to midfield and hero defence and by winning back possession like we did last year high and quickly helps attack, it’s about balance, IMO,

Agree2 Disagree0

01 Nov 2017 16:38:00
Agree about Hazard. Have yoy ever seen Robnald or Messi holding their hands when there is no available option? No they do it themselves. This is why Hazard is not at that level and I doubt he will ever be.

Agree2 Disagree3

01 Nov 2017 16:52:23
Jesus, we had 3 times one on one with goalkeeper during the first half, So the F. do you expect after missing 3 100% opportunities.
Neville said everything you need know and we are so much weaker than last season.

Agree1 Disagree3

01 Nov 2017 10:25:07
Bakayoko does not deserve to start against united and Christensen needs to play.

Midfield 3 should be Ampadu Luiz and Drinkwater. Front three Willian Pedro Hazard and defence Alonso Cahill Christensen and Zappacosta.

Courtois
Zappa Cahill Christensen Alonso
Drinkwater Ampadu Luiz
Pedro Hazard Willian.

Believable0 Unbelievable7

01 Nov 2017 12:05:40
I wouldn't throw Ampadu into our struggling team right now. The senior players need to step up.

Agree2 Disagree0

01 Nov 2017 13:05:03
I pick Kenedy ahead of M. Alonso as a wing back. Alonso is a fullback or a left sided central defender. Zappacosta should play more, with a little fine tuning- he has lots of wing back qualities.

Agree0 Disagree1

01 Nov 2017 16:56:34
We won't play 433 for sure against anyone not only MU until Conte is Chelsea manager and hopefully he will remain.
I expect that people involved in our transfer activity to be sacked immediately.

Agree0 Disagree2

01 Nov 2017 07:55:36

Except for Pedro at rwb, that’s actually a good shout.

01 Nov 2017 10:14:30
i see i would cos he's give us tht extra something going forward . plus he runs all games definitely do a shift defending.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Nov 2017 12:08:07
I wouldn't want Martial/ Rashford running at Pedro. Just give Zappacosta a chance at RWB for a few consecutive games, that's the only way he'll settle and improve.

Agree1 Disagree1

01 Nov 2017 14:24:13
Pedro up against Rashford, Martial, Lingard? Don't think so. Christensen up against Lukaku? Has to be Rudiger.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Nov 2017 04:58:05
I understand the need for rotation but Conte needs to pick a back 3 and stick to it for the next few weeks at least. The constant chopping and changing has definitely been a factor in our sloppiness at the back.
