Utter stupidity from Postecoglu tactically this 2nd half.

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
This is a painful second half to watch from Chelsea.

What do you mean? We had good chances to make it 2-2 with nine men! What did you want him to do?

How’s that. 9 men fought superbly. Score line doesn’t reflect it. Chelsea clueless.

Just maybe Ange, the halfway defensive line isn't the right tactic

How very Spursy
Hardly my friend, they showed great spirit and determination. Never gave up.

9 men behind the ball defend on the 18 yard box. Keep disciplined and compact and grab a point?

You dont play the offside trap on the half way line with only 9 men.
If you'd have stuck nine men behind the ball Chelsea would not have scored if they were still playing on Thursday.

Yeah right, invite total pressure for 35 minutes. That’s only going to go one way

How does the Man of the Match end up on the losing team. Vicarrio absolutely immense

Doesn't necessarily work. With ten men we still looked the better side and more likely to score. It's the age old conundrum, do you sit back and invite pressure on or try and give them something to worry about? We were that close to getting a 2-2, it was an unreal game.

Hmmm. Spurs and Ange gifted three points IMHO. Deny space behind as Chelsea arent good enough to break them down. And that doesn't mean sit in or park the bus.

I'd never heard of him, like most people I suspect when he was signed, but he's been unbelievable. Not many better keepers in the league.

I expect we just haven't been trained to play that way. Ange only knows one way to play. I can't knock him, it was great to watch and nearly worked for us, despite the two brain farts and the injuries.

With 10/9 men you have to be narrow, compact and try to attack on the counter attack and take your chances then. To keep plodding on with the high line was playing into Chelsea’s hands.
I wanted him to do exactly what he did.

And Ange's way worked well then....!

VAR are so terrified of making mistakes they're now raking over decisions for ages again, just like they did at the start and we were told this would be ironed out in time! The refs and VAR are getting worse and you have to question the appointment of Howard Webb as things seem to be even more of a farce compared to last season. It's actually a total embarrassment on our game and action needs to be taken. It's positive clubs are releasing staements and ramping the pressure up, I hope a manager has the bottle to take his side off the pitch next time.
