The point I was making is, they change formation every game and it happened to us, we didn't respond quickly enough to the change So yes I agree, mistakes and a little naïvety were to blame.They also knocked our concentration by bulling us, roughing us up a little for the first 15 mins of the second half.

So one more game and he becomes our longest serving manager in the PL era?
Definitely
Last real hoo doo left.
If we do, it’ll be because Chelsea aren’t playing well, Conte is leaving, Hazard out of form, etc. We’ll get not a microbe of credit.
Or you could just fuck off you absolute misery
That match is enormous.
Would have been even more terrifying if we'd fucked up against Bournemouth, mind you, but still massive.
After all the 'tactical naivety' Poch was accused of, and the 'substitution masterclass' Allegri apparently gave him midweek, it was good to see both brave substutions pay off almost immediately yesterday...
I know his hand was forced somewhat by Kane's injury so early on... but he could EASILY have brought on Llorente, and at least appeared to go like-for-like... (I, like many wouldn't have been that surprised if he had!)
As it was, he took the bolder decision to bring Lamela on and change the formation (or at least the attacking onus) a little bit.
It worked twice, with us scoring a minute after both Kane (34/35) AND Dele (86/87) had gone off later in the game!
Can't be a coincidence, that! He coulda gone obvious on either, but those two brave decisions... paid off both times!

So those nonsense stats about Pochettino’s substitutions not leading to a goal can not be put to bed.
Hmmm... Pochettino to Bayern Munich?
Bayern Munich have contacted Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino to succeed Jupp Heynckes, according to former Liverpool star Dietmar Hamann.
The Argentine has proved a huge success since arriving in north London in 2014, with Real Madrid also said to be considering the former Southampton chief as their next coach.
According to Hamann, however, Bayern are looking for Pochettino to take over from Heynckes if the 72-year-old decides to end his interim term at the Allianz Arena at the end of the season.
“I know Bayern have been in contact with Pochettino and that he was an option – and might still be,” Hamann told Sky.
“Some say the Bayern coach should be a German, it might be one area of importance, but not the only one.
“Even Pep [Guardiola] was not perfect. It is about picking the best coach possible.
“For me, that man is Pochettino.”
