I'm pissed about the result but there are a few positives to take.
1. Back 4 always!
2. Lavia is fit and playing well
3. Emegha looks a nuisance and a good backup for JP
4. Penders looked a lot better today and more confident
5. Colwill, Caicedo, Hendo all leading by example
Fofana today at the center of our downfall. 1-0 up lemme stand in the middle of the box w my hand held high in the air. Final pen, I need to hit the target, let me approach straigh on and toe poke the ball. Ffs man

Xabi got it completely wrong. Sitting back and conceding possession at Stamford Bridge is not acceptable. Especially against Tottenham. You have to use the energy of the crowd. We were way too PASSIVE. To score so many goals and then not score one against them is abysmal. De Zerbi took him to the cleaners tactically. I’ve seen Conte, who won a PREMIER LEAGUE for us, lose the fans because of losing to Spurs. Alonso has a lot of work to do now to win the match going fans back.
This game for me is completely on the manager. I hope he realizes that this is Chelsea and we have to be the aggressor in games. It was acceptable without Caicedo but now that he's there, we need to see consistent buildup patterns with or without our full front 3
Very very cowardly showing by Alonso today. Was too wary of spurs (a bottom half team that hasn't been clinical at all). Saw that Hendo was putting in a shocker and didnt swap for Lavia (at least take a chance at keeping the ball). No Welbeck until 88'.
Xabi Alonso, I hope you learn from this because today you have horribly mismanaged this game and misjudged how massive of a fixture it is for this club especially at home. JP is out, bummer, start a focal point like Welbeck so that at least there is some pressure on spurs' goal
Ik he prob wanted us to have a good press because Welbeck is a statue. However, spurs have had some good chances regardless and are simply not clinical. I think everyone would rather we actually be able to connect some passes and control the game instead of praying for a mistake
Please we need Welbeck in this second half, ik you want to press Xabi but you cant have 0 focal point against a possession side and expect to win
They don't even play the same position. I hate the snake but Enzo played the same position for the past few seasons and has more G/A. Is he better than Rice then??
