Although they survived a 4-1 defeat with credit to the bank, Tottenham Hotspur could not have gone much worse on Monday night and in the London derby.
Ange Postecoglou and flamboyant outfit was at its peak in the opener and Chelsea looked set to earn Mauricio Pochettino the nod and a not-so-hot return.
Instead, ill-discipline and a sad accident turned what could have been a day of celebration into a night of debate, with the manager and sky-high defensive line straddling the brave/naive continuum. It must be said that the hosts managed a 1:2 draw despite being down two men on three occasions. Either way, the night ended with supporters worried about the club and its near-term prospects. Postecoglou is without Destiny Udogie for Saturday and the next three trips to Wolves and Cristian Romero, while Micky van Venil faces lengthy spells with a hamstring injury.
The bigger doubt lies in the status of creative director James Maddison, who left the chaotic match late in the first half with an ankle injury.
