Will never understand the love for Jose. His teams play turgid stuff

by It Must Be Love Mon 23 Dec 2013, 8:36 pm

Jose knows how to neutralise flair teams like Arsenal: play really dull football.
However what he also needs is ruthless goalscoring when given the chance, and the lack of world class strikers is why Chelsea have looked slightly dodgy in big games this season. This is slightly made up for by the fact they have some match winners in midfield, but how much would Jose give for Sturridge and Lukaku?

by Guest Mon 23 Dec 2013, 8:36 pm

Great hit by Lampard there.

by Fernando Mon 23 Dec 2013, 8:42 pm

So what do we think guys..

Willian on Walcott

Penalty or No Penalty - Thought it was fairly dubious tbh was contact went down rather late.

by LastDamnation Mon 23 Dec 2013, 8:46 pm

like mike dean would ever give that

by socal1976 Mon 23 Dec 2013, 8:49 pm

it was a penalty, and Mikel with a late and hard challenge on Arteta doesn't even get called for a foul. Dean is an idiot.

by socal1976 Mon 23 Dec 2013, 8:50 pm

The way the first half went Arsenal are going to lose this 1-0

by socal1976 Mon 23 Dec 2013, 8:51 pm

Don't know about this lineup honestly would like Cazorla and Flamini in there, Arteta is playing awful so far.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 23 Dec 2013, 8:54 pm

Felt like Walcott went down soft and wasnt really fouled, not when he had control of the ball anyway

Yes, quite predictable isn't it.

by Guest Mon 23 Dec 2013, 8:57 pm

I'd expect both sides to up it a tad in the second half. Could still go either way.

by socal1976 Mon 23 Dec 2013, 9:03 pm

Chelsea should be down to 10 Mikel got a huge let off

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 23 Dec 2013, 9:15 pm

Sherwood for Spurs

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 23 Dec 2013, 9:19 pm

Not a penalty for me, and certainly never a red card for Mikel.

Spurs go for Sherwood. Mega lolz

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 23 Dec 2013, 9:21 pm

Sherwood doesn't even have a UEFA pro license. And now he's the Spurs manager.

Suppose that was also a red card for Ramires, he made a tackle and that isn't allowed nowadays...

by Guest Mon 23 Dec 2013, 9:21 pm

I'm waiting for Giroud to miss a sitter.

Missed John tonight.

by It Must Be Love Mon 23 Dec 2013, 9:27 pm

What an abysmal game this has been.

by It Must Be Love Mon 23 Dec 2013, 9:29 pm

This match has made my mind up: City are huge favourites for the title.

by Guest Mon 23 Dec 2013, 9:29 pm

You'll enjoy the big one on Boxing Day Starlight, I promise.

Norwich v Fulham has all the makings....

by Guest Mon 23 Dec 2013, 9:30 pm

Yeah City are the team for me.

by It Must Be Love Mon 23 Dec 2013, 9:30 pm

Arsenal 60% possession but no shots on goal.

We haven't scored a goal on boxing day in 4 attempts in the premier league. Haven't beaten Fulham in like 13 games. Its gonna be great Laugh

by It Must Be Love Mon 23 Dec 2013, 9:31 pm

Sherwood, who has no experience of coaching, over AVB who has just led your team to their records points total and has the best win ratio than any other Spurs manager in history?

Out of interest does this win ratio include Europa League games?

by Guest Mon 23 Dec 2013, 9:40 pm

I know. I'll have to place them numbers on now.

by **Crimey** Mon 23 Dec 2013, 9:41 pm

Glad I didn't bother watching, watched the first five minutes and took the tactical decision to play Fifa instead.

Sherwood for Spurs is a ridiculous decision and to me shows that Spurs are a poorly run football club, don't sack AVB if you don't have anybody better to replace him. I expect Sherwood to be sacked at the end of the season. At least he's shown that he knows how to work the media

The board at Tottenham must see something in Sherwood though. Wasn't he the only one to survive the Redknapp reign?

by Fernando Mon 23 Dec 2013, 9:43 pm

Not sure if bad miss or epic block Erm

by Liam Mon 23 Dec 2013, 9:44 pm

Its a massive call from Spurs to go for Sherwood. Cracking result against Southampton yesterday but after, what has it been, 2 games in charge to give him the job until the end of the seasons seems strange but perhaps they believe he knows the club well and would be a safer bet than bringing in a new manager who would need to get to know the players and the club as a whole in a short space of time.

by westisbest Mon 23 Dec 2013, 9:45 pm

Benteke out of our next 3 fixtures.

Time for Kozak to step up then.

Not entirely sure actually, just heard the stat on Sky Sports News, and it's a good one to use to defend AVB Wink

by It Must Be Love Mon 23 Dec 2013, 9:46 pm

Jose brings on Luiz, I think he wanted a 0-0 draw and he's got one.

by Hammersmith harrier Mon 23 Dec 2013, 9:51 pm

Losing 6-0, 5-0 and scoring a measly 15 goals in 16 games were the only statistics that ultimately mattered, he had turned Tottenham into a very stale defensive team.

They hadn't yet gelled as a team- remember Baldini made many new signings with unproven players in the Premier League, they will need a season or so to acclimatise together.
