raumdeuter:there is no way you can blame Chris for that third goal. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Greatihex(m): 9:13am On Apr 02, 2018 |
Nihilstjnr:i will blame him for the first goal. He did not try to punch that ball because he has already judged that it will go over the bar. He did not just attempt by raising his hand and making sure that he has covered his goal. This is exactly one of the reasons i don't like Courtois. Laziness. |

Ibime:this is a lie. For all i can remember. Chelsea vs Tottenham have mostly been a game of 2 halves. The season we won the league under Mourinho, we completely dominated them and won 3 - 0. The 2 - 2 draw was a game of two halves. They dominated the first, then we dominated the second. The only one you can say that is a little bit of luck is the last season 2 - 1. 1 Like |

raumdeuter:the first time, you can see that son was Quicker to poke the ball and Chris missed. The second, he was clearly impeded by alonso, and that was the only time he had a chance to clear the ball. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Nihilstjnr: 9:45am On Apr 02, 2018 |
Greatihex: What kind of wack excuses are this? We can see clearly from the replay that Christensen initailly lagoes the ball, and to add insult to injury, Son quickly nutmegs him and slips the ball through his torros. The second ball wasn't impeded by Alonso nada. Alonso is behind Chris. The ball is in front of Chris. You need to watch that replay in slowmotion to see what happened again. Chris is actually swinging at the ball but is too slow, and Dele Alli uses a sublime touch to do 'see you later' for him. I don't want to dwell on the negatives so I wont talk about this again. ![]() Good morning 3 Likes |

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by airmark(m): 12:18pm On Apr 02, 2018 |
lordfalcao: Did you see me absolving Christensen of any fault? Defenders like Rudiger are technically limited, their errors in positioning can't be seen by naive people like you. We called them 'bebeto' (rush rush defender). No matter how we simplify complex stuffs for you, they will continue to fly over your head. |

TalabiAudu:16 Conclusions: Chelsea 1-3 Tottenham Date published: Sunday 1st April 2018 6:21 * London is theirs. To demonstrate just how long it is since Tottenham finished as the highest-placed club in London, Blackburn Rovers and Nottingham Forest were two of the top three clubs in England that season. But Tottenham will now have that honour. They will probably be the only Champions League representative from England’s capital in the Champions League too. On the day that Mauricio Pochettino took the record for most Premier League games as a Tottenham manager, this was a fitting result. This is the house that he built, a club that has competed with the Premier League’s financial behemoths despite far more meagre budgets. Tottenham have only once paid more than £30m for a player at a time of wild spending, but they will join Manchester City as the only club to have qualified for the Champions League in the last three seasons. That’s a mighty achievement. Most importantly, this is a team built in the image of its manager, as all the best are. They have won each of their last two league games away from home having conceded the first goal, and never know when they are beaten. They combine that resolve with being a delight to watch when in their pomp, and have now scored three or more in ten league games this season; six of those have come away from home. Against Chelsea, they scored two Goal of the Month contenders in 20 minutes. Take a step back to admire Pochettino’s work. In February 2013, Andre Villas-Boas selected a starting XI for Tottenham that had an average age of 29.3. By April 2018, 11 of the 16 outfielders in Pochettino’s match-day squad were aged 26 or under. That doesn’t include Harry Winks (22) or Juan Foyth (20). Pochettino therefore deserves effusive praise for his achievements, FA Cup victory or not, and I will not apologise for siding with him and this Tottenham team. When you watch a coach come into a club under great scrutiny and revolutionise the playing personnel and coaching to make them far greater than the sum of their parts, how couldn’t you back them to succeed? For the first time since 1990, Tottenham have won at Stamford Bridge. For the first time since 1995, they will finish above Arsenal and Chelsea in the league table. London is theirs. * That is also that for Antonio Conte and Chelsea. The Italian feigned bemusement when asked whether his job depended on qualification for the Champions League this week, but the truth is that he has been engineering his departure for the last seven months. In fact, Conte’s behaviour this season, with regular barbs made against his superiors, threatens to cloud his reputation in England. He masterminded Chelsea’s title victory last season thanks to his switch to a 3-4-3 formation, but he has lost plenty of goodwill in 2017/18. Has Conte been dealt an ideal hand? No. Do many managers get dealt an ideal hand? No. Has Conte’s anti-Chelsea rhetoric affected the performance of his players? Quite possibly. And that’s something that deserves to stick with him like a bad smell. * It’s also pertinent to ask what happens to Eden Hazard this summer, given that Chelsea will surely have to settle for the Europa League. He is far behind the level of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, but Hazard belongs in the strata of players directly below them. He also belongs in Europe’s premier club competition. Against Tottenham, Hazard again shouldered the responsibility for Chelsea’s success, and once again those around him failed to meet the standards the Belgian expects. He wasn’t even that effective, but that’s largely because Tottenham put two men on him and were physical at every opportunity. That is supposed to create space for Hazard’s teammates. This is a selfless role. Still, Hazard created two more chances than every other Chelsea player combined, and completed more dribbles than any other player on the pitch. At what point does he get sick of this and push for a move to a European super club? * Without contradicting a previous point, this was a game to prove Conte’s criticisms of his club correct. There are ways of making your point, but Conte is at least right to be annoyed. Look at that Chelsea team. Three new signings in the entire XI, and one of those a reserve goalkeeper used only as an emergency. Antonio Rudiger has improved as the season has gone on, but Alvaro Morata has struggled. Look at that Chelsea bench. Four signings made since the end of last season, and none of them considered good enough to start. Add Davide Zappacosta, who did not make the match-day squad, to the list and you have a collection of players who would struggle to make the bench of a current top-four team. Chelsea bought expensively, and bought badly. The only true game-changer on the bench was 17-year-old Callum Hudson-Odoi. Don’t think that Conte not making a change until the 80th minute wasn’t deliberate. On the other hand, Chelsea created the best early chances of the game. Willian has been sensational in 2018 and streamed forward when he had the ball. Hazard did the same, and Marcos Alonso played as a wide forward when Chelsea won possession. He enjoys playing against Tottenham. 1 Like 1 Share |

Disappointed But not surprised. Conte needs to be sack before FA cup semis/final. So we can have an interim manager that can play this kind of formation. 5 Likes 1 Share

Among the players I'm sure there are two groups now. For conte & against conte. Kante, Azp, Bakayoko, Rudiger for Conte Courtois the ring leader of the against consisting of Luiz, Moses, Fabregas, Chris, Alonso, Hazard Since that Costa saga they want Conte to be gone. |
