Tactics were working fine till we capitulated. Noone had any criticisms then. Funny how the fickles start criticising the manager in hindsight

Some of us have been critical since December

Want to go back in the match thread and check before you open your mouth?

Ginger..but then walker is exposed to hazard and has little protection. There's a pun in there somewhere.

Lukabrazil hazard was quite quiet because of the way we set up

Spurtle, I agree, Townsend was better and our wingers have been shocking. I'm sure they're picked on training and recent form, than the start of the season.

Tbf grand said before during and after about team selection, so I'd hardly say he's fickle

Thank you I dont need hindsight when the team selection is that bad common sense prevails

the tactics were working fine regardless of what you thought prior to kick off. Idiots like you were being proven wrong until the 56th minute, our so called best defenders led to our demise. It had nothing to do with our shape or lineup. idiot

There probably is... But with Lennon on the right, there'd have been plenty enough protection for Walker... Lennon is very good at tracking back

Would say they were working due to the tactics more due to the fact Chelsea were playing average..

They still cut through us numerous times

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

A game last 90 minutes you muppet so nobody can be proved wrong after 56 minutes.

Just because you have to wait for the game t be played before you see the problems some of us see them a lot earlier

Dont call me fickle because you cant see a weakness BEFORE the ball goes into our net 4 times.

Try OPENING your eyes before it happens

The selection served it's purpose defensively for a while, but where on earth he expected a goal to come from is anyone's guess. Ade was left wing half the time and attacking mid the rest.

Not fickle..but way too critical of the manager, it becomes gimmicky.
Was it Tim that made verts back pass? Or kaboul fall over eto?

He's made a team selection with the right tactics in mind, with the most superior defence we have (including our defensive right side).

Player error was the let down today, Sherwood comes out with credit for thoughtful selection and tactics. Best of what we have..

Hardly when we should have been 2-0 down and down to 10 men in the first 4 minutes

HolbyCity is spot on

We haven't won there in 24 years, no team has won at the bridge in 75 games. 0-0 after 56 minutes, and even Mourinho admitted we were outplaying them up until we made individual errors. How many times have you criticised the starting lineup only for us to go and win? It had nothing to do with the lineup, it's evident for anyone with eyes, and sense to see it was individual errors which cost us.

75 Mourinho led games that is

You obviously don't have a clue

crap pure and total crap.

Who played right back extremely well in our last 10 games when we did qualify for CL?

Luka

Players fault, not the manager, but sometimes seems some just don't like him..had the same with avb on here.

Anyway, am off out, have a good one spurs fans one and all

That wasn't the formation as such, just shocking tactics which still astound me.

And how many times did we win at Stamford bridge then?

Simmer down grandspurs...

Christ almighty no wonder most people say the average fan is clueless

We are not arguing formation we are arguing the players who were put into certain positions

I have to admit... this discussion is way more entertaining than the dross that preceded it

Lets start with basics.

Has anybody ever seen Lennon have a good game when he has started on the left?

Jesus he has been crap enough on the right lately
