Vorm, not at fault.
Vlad, goal aside awful.
Verts, okay, but dragged down by the mediocrity to his right.
Kaboul dreadful.
Davies, steady.
Townsend, impressive, man of the match
Stambouli, solid.
Capoue, good goal, think he might have still been upfield from corner 20 minutes previously as he runs slower than most walk.
Rose, did okay, looks better when he doesn't have to tackle/defend.
Pauli, one of his better games without being spectacular
Soldado. All headlines about that miss, which was a shocker, but otherwise pretty influential.
Dier. Okay
Chadli, dangerous
Onomah, looks decent
Blimey haven't seem a post from you in aaagggeeeees me 'ol mucker!
*wavey smiley*
You're obviously a Soldadoist.Townsend was very good. First time this season he has played as well as at the start of last. Paulinho played well too- better further forward.
Chriches was awful as usual despite the goal.
Defence less secure without Fazio!
And poor old Soldado. Missed an open goal, failed to get on the end of good crosses, preservers but gets no luck either.
Wavey smiley back? Go get a room you 2.I lurk mostly these days, but still post every one in a while when I've got the time and/or something to say, but nowhere near as much as back in the day.

Townsend played well, Paulinho was decent going forward although no one on his wave length for most off his flicks, chirches was fairly poor certainly sloppy in possession.
Verts and Kaboul had an argument which led to chants of "Super Jan" and Kaboul later had another row with another spurs player.
Chirches pointed to his ear at the crowd when he scored.
Fist fight between spurs fans in the park lane upper.
Na was pretty early on, maybe 2-0 down though, seemed to be 2 on 2 with someone tumbling about 5 rows. One weasel throwing punches like he was blowing kisses soon fled when the stewards turned up. Was pretty odd as they were in acres of space seat wise but still managed to kick off...Bet that was for someone going super overboard when Bobby missed that chance.
Can anyone explain why we put out our strongest team for the match at Turf Moor but then fielded the second string for the replay? If we weren't bothered about the competition, I would have expected us to have put out a weak team first time round. I was also disappointed that Pochettino didn't take the opportunity to start some of the youngsters (e.g. Dier at CB, Winks).
Nobody has mentioned the conditions. There was a gale blowing and it was probably the reason that Vertonghen misread the long ball that led to Sordell's goal. It was a night to keep the ball on the ground.
Vorm 5 - No chance with the goals but nothing else to do. He had a quiet night.
Chiriches 3 - We've had some poor defenders (e.g. Gilberto and Atouba) but Vlad is perhaps the worst. O.k. going forward, hence the 'high' mark.
Kaboul 4 - Managed to get into separate arguments with Jan, Vorm and Vlad. Would have preferred to see Dier or Ball.
Vertonghen 6 - One great tackle to recover from a mistake and generally o.k. Probably it was mainly his fault for the first goal.
Davies 7 - Solid.
Capoue 5 - Looks to have put on a fair bit of weight in his inactivity. He was never that quick but now has the mobility of Huddlestone without the vision. Goal was Huddlestone-esque.
Stambouli 5 - meh
Townsend 8 mom - Still frustrates me but he did cause Burnley all sorts of problems.
Paulinho 7 - Good
Rose 6 - Fairly quiet but scored a goal. Looked to have picked up a knock (hamstring?) in the aftermath of scoring.
Soldado 7 - Good apart from the 'MISS'. A couple of assists and a great run where he beat 2-3 players and fired a shot inches wide. He must have walked under heaps of ladders and broken stacks of mirrors to have such a bad run of luck. It was noticeable that 3 of his team-mates went over to console him after the miss. Of course, he did actually get one last night but at the wrong end.
Chadli 6 - Some nice touches but game was already over.
Dier 6 - Better than Vlad.
Onomah 5 - Should have been given more than 15 minutes.
