A long way to go and the next three games will tell us an awful lot about how our season will unfold I reckon.

When is Lamela due back ? I'm not his biggest fan but he adds some scrap when he is on the pitch.

Back soon and yes, a very important part of the midfield.  Great workrate and an ideal player for the way we play.

Yes he creates space for others which is badly missed right now.

[carmine]

With all the other sides above us winning we were under a lot of pressure.  It showed in the first twenty minutes and we were very poor.

 

Then suddenly something kicked in and we produced one of the most ruthless finishing i've seen from us in a long time.  Aside of the pressure we were under an away fixture at Southampton is a tough one and i reckon Pochettino is a very happy chap right now.  

 

Lets hope Toby's back for the Watford fixture.  Vertonghen is a shadow of the player he is when Rob's not playing.

Kyle Walker and Jan Vertonghen miss the Watford game.  

 

When is Poch going to give a start to Carter-Vickers, because i'm going to presume he'll go with Wimmer?

Hearing today that Wimmer's loan move is complete so brings me back to the question raised yesterday as to what is happening with Carter-Vickers?

Be very surprised if Poch lets anyone go in Jan, perhaps if he could get a like for like replacement !

This is a weird one because i read it on Twitter that he's been loaned back to Cologne.  Surely has to be wrong!

Spurs director believes club's new home will have better atmosphere than Arsenal's Emirates. [@standardnews]

 

To be fair, i can't see that being very difficult to achieve 

[carmine]

Very good performance all round, just disappointing to concede a sloppy avoidable goal.

 

Really looking forward to wednesdays game.  This time Chelsea will have to play us at full strength so we'll see how good they really are.

You know it wouldn't surprise me if we play with a 3 at the back against the chavs ! perhaps with Dembele replacing Son.

Agree, i i'd like to see that.

Happy New Year gents...on a good run so let's hope our form continues and we keep our concentration for the full 90 mins tonight!

[balo]

Happy New Year! The best present would be a win over Chelsea and prevent them from winning 14 games in a row. .   Today is the big night. 

[Rc2702]

You ain't wrong lad you need to do Liverpool a big favour tonight after the debacle that was robbie Keane. Temperamental game on the cards and expect to see alli at his best and worst.

Nah scrappy game until late in 1st half

 Good battle but scrappy as expected. Silly booking though may cost you big time in 2nd half. I hope not but he's a bit touchy alli so expect some prodding. Lesson over.

Fair play to Pochettino....targeting Chelsea's relative short-<deleted> in Moses and Azpilicueta

[Rc2702]

Looking tasty now.

[wilai]

To be fair, Chelsea did look rusty due to the unfair fixture schedule that gave them too much time off!

[jellydog]

Huge victory for Spurs ! Congrats !

Very satisfying win JD!

Decent win but just remember who you are. Cup team at best. Your Tottenham so 6th place is a good season. Thanks though. Opened it right up.

i've been saying all bloody season that teams should target moses with a strong attacker. he's clearly chelsea's weak link. hopefully more teams will clock that now.

 

played spurs, excellent 3 points.

I smell a redshirt.

Not the best game but this is the win of the season for me. Still 7 points behind Chelsea but anything can happen....
