Kane’s dive is preposterous. What a c**t.

I thought the spurs players were going down ridiculously easy. The same commentators would be screaming if a European team was doing the same. 

I still feel Kane needs to do more in these big away games before that world class label is thrown around.

He scored an equaliser which was his 100th goal! He also did loads in the second half as well

 

In terms of strikers, he is prob the best in the PL IMO

There is nothing amazing about taking two penalties  and scoring one, I would expect any premiership forward to manage that.

I suppose it depends how you justify best forward. If it's by total league goals then I would agree. My criteria would be different.

Imagine digging out Harry Kane haha get real honestly.

Dele has been awful this season, 100%. Doesn't deserve a spot anywhere near the world cup 11 on this years form.

What is the criteria? he scores important goals, he generally scores his chances, he scores loads of hattricks, he is always runs at the defenders etc.

I don't think he scores enough important goals, particularly away from home. Spurs record away against the other top 6 teams in the last 2 years (if my fact checking correct) is played 9 won 0, drawn 3, lost 6 In those 9 games I think Kane has scored 2. That may have cost them the league title last season and top 4 this season. To me the next step for Kane is start scoring and become a match winner in those games. I think there is an element of flat track bully about him.

To be fair you could argue that the other top premiership forwards also don't always shine in the big games. As I have said before in a must win big premiership game I would probably pick Aguero above any forward.

Aguero is the best premier league forward since Henry. Does not get the accolades he deserves.

I suppose the racism, biting and cheating in the World Cup blinkers us.

other than that...

oh c'mon.

We're talking about 'contriving contact' here, and Suarez was (rightly) getting slaughtered for it before those other things were in the mix.

And it's not like Kane doesn't have his own form. This is hardly the first.

Top strikers dive! What a shocker!

There is a reason they all “cheat” and it’s not rocket science how to prevent it

I'd be arguing for a 3-match ban for Alli, only he's playing shit enough that I prefer him still in the team.

Fantastic footballer Bakayoko has another fantastic game of football.

I thought Watford played some pretty good football and were well worth the win.

Much like Bournemouth when they played us the other day. Rough patch for Chelsea but there will be better days. Whether or not Conte survives though, I suppose we will see.

In every Chelsea game I've seen this season he has always been the weak link (I'm aware of the sarcasm btw!). Always being slated and seems half a yard behind the game.

Tough run coming up with Barcelona , then utd and City away. Might let Arsenal back in for that 4th place if they can get the win against spurs.

Set to be another season where the intrigue is in the top 4 and relegation races. If we can get a result against Spurs then it's 2 from 4. If we don't then I fear we will go down the United route from last season and focus solely on Europa.
