Tottenham Vs Burnley: Match Thread

That looked tight

First the cock now the opening.

A very important win.

Good to see Erik on the scoresheet.

 

[DaSpurs]

Was nervy, but I was very pleased with that performance. We are moving the ball around so much more efficiently and effectively recently, and it's wonderful to see.

 

[TicketyBoo Hotspur]

We played some lovely football today. Well pleased with the points. Getting get well hammered now!

 

[ackie]

Come on Soldado - COYS let's get a 3rd

@mendes A bit silly to "spam" when I encourage on of our players to get a goal for us doncha think?!

 

[Spurger King]

Your wish was answered in the second half!

Nah, I'll focus on the positives. Decent first half, Kane continuing to get on the score sheet, Lamela finally gets his first prem goal, and we won.

As others have said, I think Mason going off really affected us. Bentaleb wasn't having a great game anyway, and Stambouli just didn't work alongside him today. Not sure Dembele or Paulinho would have either, but Capoue might have done. Either way I think it highlights the importance of getting a playmaker for midfield as soon as possible.

@Spurger King i think bentaleb is probably tired and mason has looked a bit off the boil for a while now. they need a rest imo.

Well, Mason didn't look off the boil today.

I wouldn't argue with that. Been very impressed by Bentaleb since he came back from injury - just wasn't as sharp as he can be today.

 

[Grapo2001]

A good three points. Played some nice stuff but still looked vulnerable. On we go!

 

[prawnsandwich]

OK, was it the Office Party last night and you got absolutely shit-faced and got your cock out?

Something has to explain the grumpy mood.

I don't know what happened there-I have deleted the 3 times that post came up. Sorry one and all.
I'm not feeling grumpy-Snow White is!!

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

Milkman round again?

Gold top apparently..........

 

[Zlatan]

Kyle Walker is so good, man have I missed him.

 

[DuDe]

On the way to gelling.

Brendan's going to be:

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

23 goal attemps to 9 BUT ONLY 6 on target!

-1 GD

Baldini really needs to go find someone to compliment Kane. I mean even WH are at +10 with that lump of lard playing up front for them.

 

[RichieS]

From the BBC -

Rather like he did at Southampton with Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert and Jay Rodriguez, Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is putting together a stylish forward line in which all the components complement each other.

I like the sound of that!

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

Its nice to be able to turn round and say 'Lamela won us that game'

I thought Eriksen and Chadli along with Lamela linked up well today as a unit.

Sounds good!

Kane
Chadli eriksen lamela

Don't think many would have had this as our best attacking line up at the start of the season, but posh ish doing well with the youths in the squad and putting players together that will work, and not just throw them in and hope for the best.

Most people had that lineup albeit with Soldado up top

So not that line up

And some of the lamela haters wouldn't have had him also.
