Another thrashing then. People might want to calm down now after one good performance against Everton at home.
What was Poch thinking playing Lamela today??? Top managers don't make stupid team selections like this.
It's entirely understandable he wanted another body in midfield today. So then make that extra midfielder count with someone who does the basics right.
Instead he picks a player who has no composure, cannot tackle and gives the ball away cheaply. Lamela is a luxury player and there is no room for him in games like this. As LOLMELA is useless when Spurs aren't in possession [a liability in fact because he gives fouls away constantly], it would have even been more effective to play the same side that won against Everton.
As for Vlad, I rest my case.
And from doing so well against Everton using wide play they went back to being too narrow. They are absolutely toothless when they play narrow like this. Bossed possession in the second half and never looked like scoring once. Mourinho would have been laughing at Poch.
I feel sorry for guys like Kane who put in a good show today. They had absolutely no chance with the way MP set the team up. How many more games do we need to see to know that this intricate narrow play trying to go through the center doesn't work. How many times did we get in behind Chelsea doing this? None. Our one good moment was when Kane got on the end of a cross from the wide.
Serious questions about Poch's managerial judgement with these Chronic-esque decisions. He needs to sort it out and stop making stupid management decisions. He's supposed to be a pro ffs. Playing Lamela today was never going to work. Stupid beyond belief.
very poor from Poch today

Wow controversy and I cant see why to be honest I totally agree with the OP and said that well before we kicked off.
We just got done 3-0 by a team that never even broke into a sweat. Ok I never expected to win but I thought we might have made them work for their 3 points.
Men against boys and I am not referring to Mason, Kane or Bentaleb they did ok

chelsea are one of the best sides in europe though, and we most definitely are still a work in progress.
we should have gone ahead. have to be clinical when playing top sides away.

I just do not see any progress. I keep seeing work in progress but what work is it?
We look exactly the same as when poch started which is a bad indictment on his coaching abilities.
I mean this in the nicest possible way to fellow fans as we are all legends but im seriously questioning phrases like the important game this week is crystal palace?
It is crystal palace and we are at home. No match is a given but we should have no fear of a palace side fresh off defeat to the poor aston villa.
