Overall id say decent result although I have issues with Biggish now. The most frustrating part is we could have and shouldve won. The game was there and we made Spurs look very average 2nd half. Lampard is our weakest link at the moment. The chance to change the game and get the 3 pts. Tammy another weak link but its obvious he can't head a ball. When you get James to go forward 2nd half and see Tammy waste such a perfect cross its a red light moment. At work now but I'm not angry. Just a bit frustrated.

think we can all put spurs and title hopes to bed for now atleast. truly awful performance form them
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Great result for City and Liverpool. Neither Chelsea or Spurs are winning the title, bases solely on that game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't see why we can't challenge. City and Liverpool don't even look that good.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Its not about how good they look now, but about spare capacity to improve.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
City will improve as players return but they're still vulnerable defensively. Jesus is not on Aguero's level so scoring goals against better teams could still be a problem.

Liverpool are pretty much without VVD and Gomez for the majority of the season. They are poor defensively and been lucky recently. Obviously plenty of goals going forward with their front 4.

I don't think we're a million miles away though. We look far better defensively, it's only the occasional blunder from Zouma that puts us in trouble. We're just wasteful in front of goal atm

Almost time for church lads

Hallelujah.

Our best chances are going to be playing Werner behind with his pace or Giroud with crosses. Tammy doesn't really fit into either of those scenarios to be fair. Can still be a decent sub for us possibly but can't be a persistent starter, if you need 5 or 6 chances to hit the target.

Would just play Werner up front v Leeds as they're all out attack and don't park the bus. Should be a fun game that one.

Mendy - 7

James - 7
Zouma - 6
Silva - 7
Chilwell - 7

Kante - 6
Mount - 7
Kovacic - 6

Ziyech - 4
Tammy - 4
Werner - 4

Tammy xG today: 0.4

Edouard Mendy compared to other GKs in the top 5 leagues:

🥇Least goals conceded per 90 - 0.16
🥇Highest clean sheet % - 83.33%
🥈2nd highest save percentage - 89%

A remarkable start to his Chelsea career. Long may it continue.

Should never have started Tammy if our tactic was crossing

^last bit was part of the tweet I copied and pasted. Those stats favour him slightly more than eye test but yeah great start

Shows how weak that metric can be. Cavani scored two today in similar positions

It worries me that I remain unconvinced as to how good he is. Something is holding me back from saying we have a great GK now. I just don't know what it is

I just don’t get what Tammy does well

Ironically he’s actually good at clearing corners so surprising he’s so bad in the air offensively

Jiminez fingers crossed speedy recovery

Me too, part of it is probably down to how he came basically out of nowhere at the age of 28. It’s a good start and we’re getting closer to the point of being able to say yeah this is his level but I’m still cautious.

When Mendy lets us down for the first time (happens with all keepers at some point) I hope everyone is very forgiving. Need him to keep his confidence.

Thiago > VVD btw

What’s this about Cavani calling Bruno a negrito and facing a 8 game ban like Suarez?

Tammy’s not playing well at the moment IMO but I think he can offer more than what he’s showing. The pressure is on this season though to prove himself as I am not convinced himself or Werner together provide the quality we need for the ST positions.

When you factor in Kovacic in midfield who offers little attacking threat, our attack will look a bit flat against a team who park the bus like Spurs.

What are Tammy’s qualities in your opinion ?

Getting into goal scoring positions

I would argue in the 2nd half that Kova was the only one of Kante and Mount and himselfoffering attacking threat.

I thought Kova was excellent tbh. Carried the ball well, broke up play. Just a mind block when he crosses the halfway line.
