We didn't expect them to be on us straight away. I think we expected Chelsea to give us room.

We have to be able to move and receive the ball making teams that play like this wary of our immediate counter.

It did seem a bit as if we underestimated them. Of course, we also scored four and should/could have had quite a few more on those counters today.

We lost the lead three times. Do we need to re-write "the best defence in Europe song"?

Sometimes happens. We'll be okay.

 

[cookster]

He was excellent that's why.

(And he's the new London media darling)

Sterling was far more of a threat.
Bernie was also miles better.

If that’s our midfield without Stones we have big problems to sort considering our fixtures. Other teams can hurt us more than Chelsea did.

Don’t worry Kev and John will be back soon hopefully then all will be well again.

Didn’t think he was motm though, thought sterling was better than him.

I did too.

 

[phargrave]

Yes, but Cole getting MOTM generates more clicks.

That's what it's all about these days.

Reckon Sterling should have got it, he was a constant menace all game

Great game for the neutral, but a bit frustrating as a fan. Thought we were a bit sloppy today and got overrun at times in midfield. Maybe not a bad point in the scheme of things though. It's not an easy place to go, and it's another difficult away out of the way. If you'd told me a while ago that we'd be clear at the top going into the November international break, then I'd have taken it.

 

[PaulTheOctopus]

Consider Dias not having a good game a draw is a win

 

[citymad]

Always hate games before international break. We never seem to do well.

I think I celebrated the Spurs defeat a little too hard and used up all the good juju :)
