OMT SPURS v burnley

Davies in my eyes fudges up big time there. That would not have happened had he pressured Brady, but he stood off him and gave him all the time in the world to pick the pass.

Stood there like a gormless idiot while his man put in a cross from a dangerous position
 
What a fudging stupid sub that was. Dembele could barely walk, let alone run and in the last ten minutes we could not keep the ball. So what does Poch do? He leaves Dmbele on and takes Eriksen off. Three point thrown away right there. fudging fuming.

This is why we need to upgrade on Trippier! Caught napping and being to high up the pitch. fudging unnecessary!

the problem isn't just the back, we had Kane, Son, Eriksen and Alli up top, we should have scored 4/5

one should always be enough though

Overall though, I thought we played well today. If Harry scored in August, we might win the league!

Terrible result, but it wasn't a bad performance imo, we just didn't finish well enough, Harry in particular. Fortunately for us, that won't last.

I thought we looked solid for the first 80 mins, even had a period where it looked like we were getting a second. But we tired and over committed time and time again in the last ten minutes, I can't believe we didn't do anything about it! They just attacked down our right again and again, Sissoko and Trippier on their back feet again and again. Poor game management from us, really poor.

I think this was the key to the last few minutes, Dembele was out on his feet and I have no idea why he was left on.
 
I'm not trying to have a go at just Kane, it's wasn't good enough.

But ffs he needs to learn to pass it when there are players in much better positions.

Twice in that second half he plays it square instead of shooting and it's a tap in.
 
Have to worry I'm afraid. Our home performances are clearly going to be brick this year. That is probably going to continue all season. So we need to win the majority of our away games as let's face it, we are playing 38 away games this year. Could be rather worrying if we don't pick up points in our next few away games.
 
Hmmmm, Trippier is not covering himself in glory this season.

This is one of those comical Spurs things though. We've had it too good the last couple of years, but now the 'Wembley hoodoo' will have to be talked about for the next 3 weeks. Brilliant. You have to laugh. It is something so nonsensical and yet we've let it become a thing.

Burnley also totally deserved that. It was some of the worse game management I've seen from us. We kept lumping it up to them, ceding possession and we never once got on the first or second ball. This cannot all be because of the pitch. Or because of Tony Gale's 'optical illusions', we were just bad and making silly, uncharacteristic mistakes.
 
That was coming for about 30 minutes. Kept dozily giving the ball away, strolling around, not bothered about Burnley getting more and more men forward and putting more and more pressure on us, and finally conceded. Sleepwalked into it, fully deserved for Burnley, just abject from a team which is supposed to know what to f*cking do when 1-0 up and trying to see a game out.

I repeat, it was coming for 30 fudging minutes - everyone could see it. No surprise when it did come. Game management worse than zero, and the sense of absolute complacency that pervaded the team at 1-0 up was utterly mystifying. And that extends to Poch - how the f*ck can you watch the team getting pushed back, losing ground, walking around with their heads in the sky as Burnley push and press, and do *nothing* apart from bringing on Sissoko and then Winks 1 minute before the goal? Credit to Dyche, he threw subs on good n'early - Poch sat there, unmoving, for 88 minutes and then threw his bottle in anger when we inevitably conceded after half the damn team fell asleep or were just too tired to care.

Just a woeful last 30 minutes all-round. Why bother trying so hard to score a goal if you're going to give one away like that at the end anyway.

F*ck off. F*cked up my weekend, this has. And as for Trippier - this is why he will *never* be as good as Walker. He is good in some areas - very good, maybe better than Walker. Crossing and passing, to be specific (although he was sh*te at both today). But when defending, he's like a f*cking traffic cone, and that puts him well behind Walker in the overall summing up.

This is exactly right. We needed to slow it down and kill the game but we threw men forward and exposed our back line repeatedly in the last 10 mins. Bad bad game management, most worringly there is plenty of experience on the pitch to realise what was happening.
