Chelsea’s great Tottenham record ruined by feeble defeat

Chelsea have just been beaten 2-0 by Tottenham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, ending their brilliant record against their London rivals.

Despite a bit of aggro it was actually a totally feeble performance from the Blues. They defended softly, they had no aggression in attack, and the team looked largely disinterested. Mason Mount added some intensity in the second half, but there was no conviction at all. Even the warmups looked half-arsed.

Spurs hadn’t been able to beat us in 13 games – today was easy for them. We hadn’t lost at their new stadium yet – but today the home team cruised throughout.

Graham Potter has some pretty eye wateringly bad stats accumulating all around, and now he’s also ruining the hard work of his predecessors too.

Losing to good teams is understandable, losing to bad teams is unacceptable. Losing to your rivals is painful, but losing to absolutely everyone is just unsustainable.
