Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Chelsea

Sunday’s curtain-raiser pits a red-hot Spurs side against a Chelsea outfit that’s showed shoots of recovery in the past week. The corresponding fixture last term resulted in a 5-3 victory for the home side, so Jose Mourinho’s charges will be out for revenge at White Hart Lane.

Ranking top for goals (13), attempts (67), shots inside the box (44) and shots on target (31) over the last four Gameweeks, Tottenham’s attack is flourishing at present. Looking at their home output, no side has accrued more goals (15), attempts (99) or accurate shots (46) on their own turf than the Lilywhites, illuminating the challenge that faces Chelsea’s back line. Nonetheless, the Blues will be cognizant of the fact that the North Londoners earned just one clean sheet in their previous seven fixtures.

Chelsea have enjoyed more success on the attacking front of late and placed fourth for attempts (56) across the last four Gameweeks. That being said, they suffered from a 28.6% shot accuracy and a relative lack of clear-cut opportunities (five big chances). Of greatest concern to those Fantasy managers holding Chelsea assets is their away record: they are winless on the road since a hard-fought 3-2 victory over West Bromwich Albion in Gameweek 3.

    Just read the shambles of a hot topic. Aguero has started two games out of which he blanked in one and people said 'Aguero' has stopped firing?

    The mods have lost the plot.

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Could be true....

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        I understand him not firing 5 weeks in a row.

        But he came back from injury and scored in 1 game out of 2. I normally expect noobs or newbies to write him down after that.

        From the mods, that kind of posting is way too shortsighted to warrant writing on a Fantasy football website.

    2. Ziro Becomes One
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Tbf, they said he hasn't started yet. Did not say 'stopped'

    3. Jose's Magic Omelette
      • 10 Years

      Underlying statistics support the notion.

        What a load of bull

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        You don't look at underlying stats 100 minutes into a comeback for someone with one of the highest chance conversion rates over the past three seasons..

        1. Jose's Magic Omelette
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          I do, you don't.

          Not ruling him out long term but Pellegrini's comments and the underlying stats both show he's not fully match fit yet.

        1. Sjaugen

          That's Kanes speciality

  13. Malcolm Tucker for England …

    Got thirty odd quid on spuds to win after seeing the teams.
    Felt nice at 17/10 but really wish they'd bloody score from this pressure

  14. Eden Hazardous
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Oscar and Pedro are tackle monsters

  15. SamH123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Begovic needs to do that next half with a tailwind and he could well score

    1. NATSTER
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      That looks really possible.

  16. Jose's Magic Omelette

    Pedro looking good. Fancy him to score today.

    1. Bolivian Seaman

      or crystal palace?

  18. Somalion
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    You have to admire players like Pedro. Could have joined United for a big pay day but said "No, I want to help Chelsea fight relegation."

    Warms my heart.

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 9 Years

      Or did not want to play the shite Manu play....

      1. Somalion
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        I'm sure he's delighted with his choice. He gets to play irregular minutes and worry about Norwich going ahead of them in the table.

    2. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Have to admire his passion to play for a relegation fodder rather than a boring side.

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Who won the title last season and consists of his Spannish teammates instead of a Dutch D1ck

        1. Somalion
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Hey, at least he'll have some great experiences with his Spanish teammates in the Championship.

      2. Somalion
