Soldado dropped after he scores his first epl goal in god knows how long. unbelievable.

are you AVB in disguise?

Months we have waited for Soldado to score and regain some confidence and then he is benched for f**king Lamela.

DubPerryman

Maybe Poch just wanted a young squad against Chelsea's ageing squad??

Tottenham start with their youngest average line-up in PL in over 6 years (24 years, 131 days) since Oct 2008 (1-0 home defeat v Hull).

But seriously, very surprised Soldado is out. Lamela isn't exactly known for hard work.... Keeping Soldado for Saturday maybe?

Eriksen central behind Kane? Lamela out wide or other way round?

2nd Row Donkey

Looks like it's a time picked to try and avoid a hiding.

No offence to the young lads but Bentaleb and Mason haven't a hope against the Chelsea midfield.

Soldado would relieve the pressure off the midfield a bit but Lamela just gives away to much possession which will be precious enough as is

oooweshh. unlucky Kane

Our manager seems to think with Lamela in the side instead of Soldado we
are a more solid unit???
I cannot see the logic there.

Kiith

Ah well, so much for not capitulating. Terrible by Lloris.

Jason 5pu45

Lloris havin a mare by all accounts.suppose he was due one.this could be another long night

Rob094

Hmm. Okay.

greenspurs

Not good ....... But then again it rarely is .....

Chiriches gives the ball away to often

Long Time Lurker

Not a game for Lamela. Giving us nothing in attack or defence. Running outta patience on that lad.

All the good work we done early on in the game went down the drain fairly quickly,Lamela not in the game at all.

Poch persist with Chiriches at RB.. Why?? he offers nothing.. gives away the ball too cheaply, obviously has his mind elsewhere..
As previous poster said, not a game for Lamela and Lloris having a bit of a mare..
Dier on in 2nd half please and Go for it by replacing Lamela with Soldado.
Impressed with Lennon, Kane & Bentaleb in the middle.
Is anybody else unimpressed with Mason or is it just me??

KingdomYid

Get that show pony Lamela off the park, he is not a premier league player and sadly will never be imo.

Leinstersqspur

Not sure why Poch started Lamela, this was always going to be our toughest away game to date and he has no form. Chadli would have been a better choice, doesn't give the ball away as much and more physical. Or Soldado (didn't he score the winner on Sunday Poch?).

We looked well up for it 15mins in, until we imploded. :o

mass_debater

Get Lamela off, can't even take a corner, didn't clear the first man

Kiith

That's a bad switch. Lennon wasn't great, but he's been better then Lamella.

SeaDaily

Are you all just purposely ignoring the good balls that Lamela has been playing in in the second half and concentrating solely on the negatives?

Kiith

We're playing far too often in the middle...no width at all.

Why didn't we try sign Remy?

Kiith

So easy for them. They just have to sit back, soak up with little pressure we throw at them, and counter.

Jayo11780

Christ this is going to be 4 or 5 again!
Chelsea are so strong defensively....

Being saying it for ages he'd have been a hit at spurs instead of being a sub for Chelsea. Great player

Jayo11780

We are miles off their level

h2005

Vertoghen way too weak there.

Same reason we didn't sign Hazard, Cahill or Willian...

DildoFaggins

What is the point of bringing on Soldado with 5 minutes to go???
