This is my first full Chelsea game this season, so I'm baffled by what happened to their "vaunted" defense.
Also, why did they keep sending the shortest player on the field to attack high balls in the middle of the box?

A must win match to stay in the Champions League Spurs are heading into this match on the back of a fantastic win over the weekend. The team is getting almost to a full squad with the return of the likes of Danny and Verts.

Another tough game. Inter are in buoyant spirits. Pochettino has said he will rotate the squad. I pray for a good game.

Having all our quartet upfront for the first time this season against Chelsea showed what we've been missing all season long. I'm afraid it's too late to make any difference in the CL.

I expect some rotation that might further weaken the team against Inter due to the first NLD on Sunday

You called it. Hope we make a breakthrough and get the win even if we don't end up qualifying. A win at home will be a true delight.

That bit of creativity is missing in the final third. Bring in Eriksen for Moura.

Sissoko work rate produces the goods for Eriksen to open the scoring. Now keep concentrated for the remainder of the 10 minutes left.

Shhhhhhhhh It is the Moussa Sissoko show nowadays. Is his contract about to expire?

What I lived most about today's performance is that we played a strong starting 11 with a game changing bench. We played a controlled match. Very patient and efficient knowing the chance will come eventually. We didn't overplay thereby spending so much energy chasing the goal which would have caused the team tire out in the dying minutes and concede the equalizer. One step at a time. The good news is the team is learning how to manage a game they are either chasing or leading.

Question: If Spurs get to the knockout stage can Foyth be registered for the team?

YES - but not sure if a foreign player has to drop out for him.

We will drop Vorm!! :D However the registration is in Feb/March. Perhaps look at the transfer window as a means to create space although I am not sure who the club will sell to create space.
