The most effective way to beat 3 at the back is to play 3 at the back. We learnt that during the Conte years itself.
Yeah I’m surprised Nuno didn’t do it today since he did it so often at Wolves but I guess he didn’t want to try it for the first time in a game like this

Tottenham’s chance to be successful came and went with Pochettino.

I was surprised when Chelsea bought Lukaku and sold Tammy Abraham instead of Werner. Every time I watch Werner, he has been abysmal for Chelsea.

Fabinho's forehead
I don't think there is a player in the history of the game who's given more thumbs up than Lukaku
There are only two versions of him:
1. Thumbs up friend version where he tried to befriend everybody
2. Pointing at the ground friend version where he tried to fight everybody

I feel we can beat chelsea when we meet them but gotta find a way to remain consistent against the others. Contrary to the others they don't impress me THAT much.

Not necessarily. It's not automatic to reinvest badly and it's not like Kane is doing well anyway
It's not automatic but way more teams screw up the reinvestment part

Teams should match up with Chelsea’s system and play 3 at the back. Will be interesting to see what Pep does at Stamford Bridge next week
Make some adjustments and get accused of overthinking... Come on you know how this goes

Why are we playing at exactly the same time as City/Chelsea next Sat lunchtime?

Haven't seen that before. Are both games televised?

Chelsea look worryingly good don't they. Reckon they're favourites for the league at this point.

Keith Allen was such a terrible appointment for Spurs and everybody knew it. What a waste of time.

Hate to be that guy but it's interesting how Chelsea have more players in the box when they're 2-0 up with 5min left than we had at 1-1.
