Match Threads Spurs vs Burnley - Match Thread

[thinktank]

Last 30 min of this game Burnley will be knackered - bring on Son and Eriksen.

Sissoko needs to sharpen up 2nd half, decision making and passing hasn't been good enough.

 

[scat1620]

Reasonable first half, despite not getting the opener. Absolutely 100% confident that we will get the win come full time.

Random question but does anybody know if the purple beanie Poch is wearing is for sale on the website/shop? Seen it a few times now but can't seem to find it on the online store.

Need about 50 chances to get a goal, that and a moron ref alongside park the bus utd keeping us at bay, thoroughly unenjoyable half.

Hate these type of matches were we are just trying to break down a team playing the 0-1-9 formation.
It's always a struggle

Sissoko needs to sharpen up 2nd half, decision making and passing hasn't been good enough.

Seriously? I think he has been one of our better players today so far

Tbf he put it on a plate for Lamela.

Sissoko has been good apart from being reluctant to shoot

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Team has been fine - we've created chances. Just need to keep getting the ball wide to Rose and Trippier.

Without Lamela's goals we would not been in 3rd position

Lamela has played some excellent passes in this match. The ball into Lucas was sublime just because he missed one goalscoring chance. Certainly shouldn't be subbing him. Some fans really love to have a go. I'm fairly confident we will score second half.

 

[wrd]

His passing has been fine, the runs have been incredible but somebody needs to say to him, look I know you're surrounded by top talent but trust yourself to take it on yourself.

Absolute load of nonsense. He's been fine, he put a great ball through to Lamela and Lamela's first touch was poor.

I'm a big fan of Lamela but so far on the basis of today, he seems to be having one of his frustrating performances, but he did put in a great pass. If he doesn't improve in the next 15 minutes of the second half I'd bring on Son for him.

Moura has made some great runs.

No need to panic just yet.

A few takeaways from that first half:

• Kane could be one of the best playmakers in world football if he wasn't focused on being a striker instead. Some fantastic pinged balls all over the pitch, like the one to Sissoko for the counter-attack, and the one in towards Dele.
• Skipp looks comfortable in that midfield role, and has gone all in for a couple of challenges. Certainly handling himself well out there so far.
• Sissoko really lacks some decision-making, perhaps some confidence too.
• Our crossing is kind of dreadful.
• Is Dele playing? We haven't really seen much from him this half, at all.

Was thinking how ugly that thing was ?

Trippier putting Lloris under unnecessary pressure

Nothing wrong with the pass IMO, Lloris has a safe option to go long every time and he had time to decide what he wanted to do, plus it's not like the pass was a bad one.

Without Lamela's goals we would not been in 3rd position

I agree but I said it shows why you can’t rely on him and it’s true.

He has to bury that chance.

 

[ardiles]

Sissoko has been providing some good balls in the opponents box but his colleagues don’t seem to want him to get an assist. ?

 

[rossdapep]

We knew it would be a tough one. Just need to keep plugging away. Can't waste chances though.

 

[Paolo10]

He's made the wrong decision a couple of times now and his passing at the start of the game especially was loose.

He's been playing well lately, but that wasn't a great half from him.
