Honestly think we deserved that to happen. No doubt a load of happy clappers will say 'we had the chances' but the game descended into end to end bollocks with absolutely no control. The switch to the back five just invited as much pressure on us, plus made us defensively less secure.

That was about 85 minutes of complete rubbish, with a few sporadic bright moments. One of the least enjoyable games I can recall in ages just because of the turgid misery of it that just saps the life out of you watching it.

Better enjoy the champions league this year while we can. Looking at that we're going to be miles off. So fucking predictable. Thought the days of the Wigan and stoke sucker punches had gone. Fml.

Trippier was shit but we should have wrapped that game up a few times. Chance creation was good. Finishing was poor.

He's only good when we are in control as a defender he is rank average
Worse yet is that he showed very little desire to track that player once he realized he was there. Toby was the one that actually put in the tackle. He just kinda jogged back.

True however it shows the lack of quality we have in the squad really. We really do need 3 or 4 new players to bolster our bench options. If we don't get things sorted soon we will be lucky to be in the top 6.
Fuck quality. we should have closed this fucking game out. It's a frocking disgrace. Even stick pacey Sanchez on fucking RW ffs, or just go 442 or 451 or whatever!!!! Do something that addresses our right side being bummed and Burnley gaining momentum they should NEVEr have gained.

Fuck off, fuck off, fuck off. fucking furious.

The worst thing is that this gives every team in this league a real belief that they can get something. Turn over Burnley and people might think "Spurs seem to be over it" but now it'll be "We can definitely get something there".

I'm very disappointed how the club seem to have been underprepared for Wembley. We knew we'd have to play differently here.
