Tottenham Hotspur 0 - Chelski 2
-
Spurs looked good for the first 2 games , but against Chelsea , they looked ordinary .
The best thing is , Chelsea looked ordinary too .... nothing much like a 200 million pounds team .
That Mido sending-off or not , Spurs doesn't threaten much , Spurs' midfield seldom control the rythem of the match .
That first goal .... that Del Horno's goal , one question has to be asked after the game , why isn't anyone guarding at that far post ? Where is the right back ?
Credit to Mr Mourn , he brought in SWP , he created chaos at the right wing that caused the second goal ..... many occasion .
Currently , only three teams held clean sheet , Chelsea , MU and L'pool . -
Spurs subsitution Lennon is fast and dangerous.

Up to the sending off of Mido, I tght Spurs did reasonably well to contain Chelsea. Edgar Davids was excellent against Essien which even had the latter a yellow card.
But it's seemed difficult contain them if you lost a player. With their attacking bombardments on the wings, it caused much much disarray in the inexperienced centrebacks and it showed.
Despite the loss, Spurs will be a team to watch. If not for Davids, their centre would be runover by the Lampards and Makeles. Great buy. Paul Robinson has safe pair of hands between the post, Defoe is pacy and can be clinical if given space. -
I agreed with Base. It's like a game between Essien vs Davids and the later came up top.
Both goals could have gone wide for Chelsea but looks like if you are rich... you can buy luck too

Maybe Mido was supposed to be guarding that far post
It seems very much like Mido took bride and kelonged. In the minutes of commiting that red card foul, his face looked like Osama's "What I did was right and I am innocent" type of look. -
Paul Robinson is surely england number 1.The 2 saves he made against crespo justifies that.And the 2 goals he conceded are not his fault,first goal nobody guarding the post,second goal,no one could have saved that,its kinda lucky..But yea chelsea has yet to find its rhythm,but swp seems good to start next week.
