Honestly Tottenham's defeat was completely unexpected, before I never thought that the team that is now on the rise could be defeated with disappointing statistics by a team that was almost in the degeradation zone with all the problems of the downturn. I don't know what are the reasons and problems experienced by Tottenham in this match but it is certainly very embarrassing if they have to lose against Chelsea at home.
The fatal mistake experienced by Tottenham in my opinion was because two of their players were red carded, it was a strong reason why the score at the end of the match was very far away because obviously their strength was not balanced if 9 people had to fight 11 people. And also yes, the problem and the impact is not only the confidence of the players who have dropped but obviously the confidence of the fans will also definitely decrease because on the other hand the prestige of the club has been humiliated at home. A very bad and disappointing result, in this match Tottenham was really far from luck, and I hope Ange will soon be able to restore the confidence and consistency of his squad for the next few matches.
The defeat of Tottenham at home by Chelse could be seen as one case of squad depth. Squad depth is a big issue in football and could be caused either by a red card or injury crises; and in the case of Tottenham we saw both of them in play the red card on both a defender and defensive midfielder and injury on Maddison who has created a partnership with star player Son.
I think this should serve as a lesson to all teams competing for their league titles. The issue of squad depth is so underrated, I think Tottenham going forward should take some cues from the match and try to come back from this heavy defeat at home, the fans will lose some confidence in this team but they could regain the confidence tomorrow by bouncing back and getting back to winning ways.
