He should have seen the changes Chelsea made and responded to them sooner.
Bringing on Nkoudou was a good change as it pinned their best player Moses back again. Was too late on in the game though.

It pinned him back but then Conte responded bringing on Ivanovic and N'Koudou was ineffective.
Yeah but by that time it was the final 10 minutes and Chelsea just looked to defend completely so we had the most of the ball anyway.
Plus Nkoudou did that one nice bit of skill to skip past Ivanovic (even though he ended up miskicking it towards goal)
All our good work was ruined when the defence decided that Pedro was never going to score from there and stood and watched him finish superbly.
It reminded me a bit of when they beat us in the League Cup final (different score I know) in that there was still a long time to go when they got their 2nd yet we created very little after that.
Defeat was so avoidable in this game but we still managed to lose.
Too many of our players seen jaded at this early stage of the season.
Someone on here was saying that Poch's system is vital to a full summer break. Meaning that the Euro's has seriously affected the team.
Wonder if that means we are 6-8 weeks behind where we should be, and then will pick up in terms of performance in a few weeks time.

One can only hope.
Or it could mean they are completely burnt out and we are facked.

Basic flaw in his methods then considering summer tournaments are never more than 2 years apart...
One thing I disagree with is Ali being the one who didn't track his man as it was definitely Son
Actually, having plowed thru this Ballaytics, I don't believe a word of its analysis. Players just get tired and sometimes lose the plot.
Agree N'Koudou should have been brought on a lot earlier.
And we sorely miss Toby in defense.
Finally, we were just unlucky ... we always seem to lack getting that second goal.

Agree. We did warn you that you would suffer a title collapse and euro 2016 hangover.
Even Sandy has given up on Spurs now

kick em while they're down. classy
Injuries or not, the fact that we nullified Hazard and kept a reasonable check on Diego yet still lost the game is annoying.

Yes you marked Hazard out of game. With a few fouls thrown in
Costa was superb I thought
