We were very very good, Burnley were not terrible - they made small mistakes but nothing really major.

Nothing stands out as if they did something else it would have cut out a goal.

How many times in recent times have we played into a team like Burnley’s hands?

They just couldn’t handle us.

No big individual errors leading to goals, but I thought they gave us a lot of space. We exploited that space really well, but it's not the kind of Burnley performance we've seen in the past when we've struggled against them imo.

Or to put it differently. The result wasn't actually an unfair one based on the game. I don't think we're that good without Burnley also having a poor day.
 
Well, that was refreshing ..

- A reaction from a brick result
- Once again, all our attackers involved, 5 goals
- Clean sheet
- Really good goals from Kane and Sissoko being overshadowed by a ridiculous one from Son
- The Jose bus still missing ..
- Young players get a little field time

might celebrate this one for a bit ...

@milo Son, Kane and Poch. That was five years of coaching paying off with those two, not five minutes.

Add the key element of Dier and an interested-again Alderweireld for further sauce/support of your point. Honestly, it astounds me that Dier's importance to us is not recognized more. He is still getting fully match-fit, and yes, he mis-placed two simple passes, but not only did we cover them, HE covered/harassed/niggled away at everything today, and often played a tight, tidy pass to one of the dynamic trio to flow forwards. Poch was robbed of him for what, 18 months? MouMou wanted him badly at Utd (he deff tapped him up and Dier stayed because of a convo with Poch only to re-injure) so thankfully, we know the manager gets it. I thought his platform was immense...on another note, I heard Winks was in a cast/boot today?

I thought we were much more aggressive/snappier in the "dirty" areas of the pitch where we have been losing cheap possession all season. It allowed the creatives to do their thang...

It's really odd, so many people (including pundits) thought Jose would not fit with Spurs, truth is

- 4-2-3-1 and half the fudging squad -> Toby, Dier, Son, Dele, Kane, Lucas are exactly Jose type players (and player he wanted to buy)
- He will give Dier the opportunity to find his form, as long as Dier puts in the shift .. December will probably be the make or break for Dier at Spurs .. he either plays back into fitness and shows form, or we will buy that type of player in Jan (Jose needs it)
- Add the fact that he is building on a system and he is a little better with consistency (I think Poch fudged up when players were not in form by too much rotation making it very hard for them to play back into)

Yep, Winks and N'dombele weren't fit.
 
Very nice. Still a certain amount of sloppiness and we probably should have had two or three more but very, very nice. Agree with the MoM nominations, but it has to be Son.

I feel MouMou knows that Dier is already doing a lot for him, he knows more to come and he will absolutely be here beyond December IMO. Yeah, I knew neither were fit but was not aware of the fact Winks was in a boot (did you know?).

The main issue most had with MouMou was based on Levy. Obviously the man is a winner and he knows what he wants. Levy came to a fork in the road and chose this path over long-term project work with the previous. So now he absolutely HAS to give MouMou what he wants and when he wants it. IF MouMou wants a player in Jan, and if Levy fudges about to save 5 mill and pushed it to the Jan deadline, MouMou will not be happy and things will get weird fast. The ball is in Levy's court, it is his game to lose. I think that's more what most people thought with regards to JM/Spurs?!
