The game is really suited to us once we took the lead. Spurs have to attack leaving space bhind for Ram, Hazard, Willian to run to and Fab to pass to.

Hazard almost!!!

Yea. Willian is doing very well both in attack n defend.

Btw Cahill juz got yellow carded. Willian juz nau oso got 1 right? Nid to stop giving away silly fouls.

Azpi head bleeding. Hppe ntg serious.

Cuadrado in for Willian. I think Willian deserves a stand up ovation by the crowd.

Hope can see Cuadrado dance later.

More like FA fine us for creating man made rain that disrupts Spurs game. Lol!

Chelsea's epl point penalized by -3 for winning Capitol one Cup?

Superb tackle by JT. Mr Chelsea!

Azpi is a beast. Head bleeding but still can continue game and defend like a bawse.

Cahill, JT, Zouma all defended like this is WC final.

Our first of many trophies under Mou's long reign!!!!

Quoted from Mou's first season with us.

Now we are topping the PL, in knockput phase of CL, won League Cup. Coincidence? I dun think so. Mou is a genius, a legend, and he noe what is he doing. He is a cup final specialist. Getting result even when ur not playing well. I really hope Mou can do a Fergie and stay with us for the next 20 years.

My Motm? The whole team.

Jt, Iva, Azpi, Zouma and Cahill was immense in defence. All were present when dangerous situation arises and blocked important shots on goal. Azpi kept Chadli at bay imho.

Ram n Fab ran bak n forth in the midfield. Hazard and Willian created many chances and helped out in defend too. Costa finally showing some form again.

Yea. First half we did not play well, but still manage to nick 1 goal into half time. After that in 2nd half, we played much better coz Spurs have to attack and we found more space.

Hope Mou can stay for the long term. Btw now skysports interviewing Mou.

Costa still nid Fab to translate for him.

Jamie Redknapp mcm two sided sword. Not sure if he praising or dissing us.

Skysports commentator said, not sure if Mou did slip or he did it on purpose.

did it on purpose to mock someone?

fixed.

Zouma did well in DM role in the final. But tbh, his style is not suited at all to play at DM. In previous games that he started, I notice he prefer to let players run past him then use he'll use his pace to recover the ground and put in a tackle. A bit passive imho. Wait til opposition make a move, then only Zouma make a move to counter it.

Oh well, maybe I was spoilt by Matic. Matic is more of an active player. He don't wait for opposition to make a move and make a tackle. I notice Matic always attacks the opposition with the ball. No space and time given to the opposition if Matic is playing. He always close down the opposition quickly and effectively.

But with Matic suspended. We'll juz make do with Desailly Zouma in DM.

Sad to say, Mikel will never be the same player anymore. Due to the modern football, DMF nowadays nid to be quick in closing down and play at a high tempo, that's why players like Vidal, Matic, Matuidi, Schweinsteiger, Khedira are successful, coz they have the energy and can play at high tempo or quick passing game.

But during Mikel's prime, he played quite well. Especially those days where we play 433. Lamps, Essien and Mikel. Mikel's role is just to be a destroyer in front of the back 4. But then nowadays, destroyers nid to keep up with a high tempo game. Mikel's lack of pace totally destroyed him. And also his lack of forward pass.
