Pace of the game was too much when he came on, was chasing shadows and generally getting in the way. Way it's going one more injury and he potentially might have to start a cup final for us so really hope that doesn't overawe him as I think those Emery quotes in March were telling about his mentality. Hasn't grasped things like Rogers has.

Pace of the game was too much for him when he came on, miles off being a top level prem player. Think he'll be getting the Archer/JPB treatment this summer.

Get the feeling looking at his reactions near the end that Poch has been told he's getting sacked if they don't make any form of euro qualification. Only on a two year deal aswell so won't be the usual mammoth pay off either for a Chelsea manager.
-
They were acting like this was Chelsea 2004-12 though. Even went to Joe Cole mid game so he could congratulate Chelsea on a few shots on target. TNT really were Chelsea fanboys so will be listening to the World feed next time we play them which is always more objective in the game discussion.

Udogie will be a huge miss for Spurs. Madueke was really on it second half and gave Digne his toughest game in 2024 probably so that's the sort of half he needs to kick on now and start producing consistent runs of form. Palmer will still be out there so I think this Chelsea scores 2-3 v Spurs given their high line.

We seem to be far weaker defending a 2-0 lead than 1-0 really. 1-0s v Arsenal and Man. City weren't this chaotic. Even in this fantastic season we still haven't won three games we were 2-0 up in so interested where we compared to other prem teams in that regard. I get the feeling Emery is telling them at half time when 2-0 up to relax, ease off and just pace ourselves through first 25 minutes of second half but the problem there is we just hand initiative to opposition and eventually they'll score and then we go into panic station mode and make basis errors.
-
Have a look at their general record v Spurs. It really really annoys me baseless and reactionary posts on here against actual facts. Their second half level will comfortably get a draw v Spurs and it will probably win them the game.

It was a top class save in the first place that lead to the corner. No chance with the first two. I actually thought he looked far more confident than ever before, was claiming crosses like a man possessed. Feels like Emi was a big doubt coming into this so he was half prepped to play anyway. Only thing he got wrong was rushing out too quickly which totally befuddled Carlos when it should've been a straightforward back header but that's just a lack of communication/decision making between two back up players for us.
-
Did he have a bet on Chelsea winning at half time or something?! Subs and general team mentality were shocking. Disappointing to see that so soon after the Brentford game. Yes we're having a very good season but this was what Ollie was talking about in his interview recently. Chelsea weak against the counter and we put on endless defenders and midfielders and just sit back and let them grow into confidence. In the end we were very lucky to get a point from that.
-
Those two are decent pundits. Joe Cole and Glenn Hoddle certainly aren't. Hoddle claiming we're a counter attacking team, words simply fail me. He clearly last watched us in 2009.

They're similar to Palace. Go on long winless runs and hardly scoring and then suddenly reel off four wins out of five just when everyone starts writing them off. Said it on Wednesday but Goodison is always a huge advantage in the run in for them. Won three home games all season up to April and now won four on the spin without even conceding a goal. Don't they have the fourth best defence in the league or something daft? Conceded two fewer than we have. Need to keep Branthwaite at all costs this summer and just sell Onana instead to meet the latest FFP requirements.
-
Disasi is terrible. Silva can still read the game no problem so sometimes pace can be nullified by excellent positioning and Silva has that in abundance so Ollie will have to continue to work hard tonight to get good openings.
-
Confirming safety with three games to spare is certainly an achievement considering they had a very poor start (4 points from their first 7 games) and then lost an extra eight shortly afterwards.
-
Pretty much all kids. No one over the age of 26 and only Disasi has played even 10 prem games.
-
Probably be one of those occasions where we got enough points to finish above them in mid March. I can see them struggling to win any of their last four. Newcastle will finish 6th with what they have left.
-
Yeah that's decent thinking. SHA did beat Coventry 3-0 so they get an early goal etc and Hull get a couple of early goals etc... All the press will be on Wagner after what he did v them in SHA regardless so I don't think it will be that weak regardless, they'd just rest Sara imo who's one of the best attackers in the division so they need him for the play offs to be 100%. Bit like us resting Tammy v Norwich on final day of 2019 season but think apart from that it was a pretty strong team (actually Grealish and AEG didn't start either).
-
Just need a point to 100% confirm finishing above them now. When did that last happened, 1990?
-
West Brom will likely beat Preston so they'll need to win to avoid 6th.
-
Draw and Hull are 7 goals off Norwich so would require a huge win from them to catch Norwich so that certainly is the worst result! Norwich do have some decent players on the bench. Jonathan Rowe been linked to us and just back from a few months out and he came on so could get perhaps an hour out of him if they're rotating next weekend. Experienced CBs like Danny Batth and Grant Hanley unused subs today so not like Wagner will just stick the under 12s in.
-
Hull got Plymouth last game...
-
They have to beat Norwich. Draw no good unless Plymouth lose by four goals I think at home. Guess it simplifies it for them. Basically their fate now rests on the team David Wagner picks just as in 2017.
-
Really need a Blackburn goal I think. Playing Coventry who are down to 10 men.
-
Home v away advantage means nothing though? Spurs have only actually beaten us on the road since December so they're actually in their worst away run of the season.
-
Huddersfield complete s***. Must win game and they haven't had one shot on goal. Really going down with a whimper. Guy in charge was managing in the Bundesliga two years ago aswell.
-
Again Chelsea and Liverpool just going to hand the game to Spurs...but play lights out v us. We've got both at VP, Spurs have to play them infront of their home fans where it's different expectations and teams find extra 10% if they're starting to get on their backs. All we have to do is match Spurs results v them and then get 4 points off Brighton-Palace and then Spurs would have to do the same v Arsenal and Man. City which is a tough ask.
