Graham Roberts reacts on Twitter to Tottenham loss at Chelsea
Graham Roberts has issued a brutal verdict on Twitter to Tottenham Hotspurꦗ’s performance in the first-leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final against Chelsea, labelling the display ’🎉embarrassing’.
Antonio Conte’s men were comfortably beate🌠n at Stamford Bridge. They were 2-0 down at the break after two calamitous goals, with both going in off of Tottenham players.
Spurs also failed to reg🥂ister a single shot during the first-half. And while they did improve after the interval, Chelsea may be ཧalmost as disappointed that they did not make more of their advantage.
Understandably, Roberts could not hide his f🌳rustration on social media. He suggested that there were no positives to take from the game, insisting that n🌜othing went right.
Here is what Roberts made of the game…
that was embarrassing our defence didn’t turn up all 5 of them and the 2 midfielders never 🥂got anywhere near there midfield and our forwards weren’t good enough did they know it was the semi final we d🐽on’t compete in the London derbys let’s give conte the money and players

Tottenham still have a few positives to reflect on after Chelsea loss
Roberts is right to respond so strongl💧y to the performance. Tottenham are half way towards completely throwing away a massive opportunity to reach a final.
But there are a handful of positives. Some felt that Lucas Moura did well. And Bry▨an Gil showed some glimpses of his quality after coming on for the latter stages.
Roberts alluded to the fact that Conte needs to be given backing in the transfer market. And it is hard to imagine that Tottenham’s loss, and the manner of it, will not accelerate the ꦯwork that they do in the January transfer window.
Spurs were not far off naming their strongest side. The likes of Hugo Lloris, Emerson Royal, Ben D🅰avies, Oliver Skipp, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Lucas, Harry Kane and Son Heung-min all started.
Bཧut they struggled. Spurs need sig🧸nings before the window shuts. And Fabio Paratici will be wasting no time after watching that performance.
