I know Burnley made it difficult but I just can't understand why we played at such a low tempo for the entire first half.
We can't keep relying on the last ten minutes to win a game.
Absolutely gutted with that. You'd of thought we would of been raring to go, full of excitement but we looked so flat it's unreal.

The problem is that the criticism is that she's a 'token female' rather than a bad pundit. I've seen (much) worse male pundits but they're protected from the accusation of being 'token' because they're men.

It’s not a bottle thing at all. This team has been the opposite of bottle job for weeks.
In the end, we were always going to lose one of these tight games that we kept getting in to.
KWP must be really guff in training if he can’t get a run ahead of our two RBs.

Tbh, to me it looked like they shearly out-physical’d us beyond some overlooked fouls.

Aurier isi infinitely worse
Aurier makes me feel sick to the stomach. I think he’s simply a dumb footballer. That “clearance” was pathetic and wouldn’t even be attempted by a ten yr old.

He was dreadful today. Not the right man for the job. Should've been Trippier for a February game up north against his former team. Another error in selection/tactics from Pochettino.
We got bullied today, plain and simple.
Same issue with Foyth - Poch might think he has great potential (personally, I have my doubts - and he was at fault for the first goal) but today wasn't the day for him.
We're not good enough to be genuine contenders. That much is now beyond doubt unfortunately. Been crying out for 2 or 3 players to bring us to the next level, especially a midfield enforcer. Instead we talk about "the project" and how our squad is good enough. Yet, we ask Kane to give us 90mins on his first game back.
Today was a reality check.

So the same as any number of male pundits. And you're telling people who the joke is?

Not much to say really. Burnley away was always a tough match. We just never got up to our usual level this match and Burnley deserved the three points today. Maybe it's the fact that we've played an insane amount of matches, maybe we underestimated Burnley, and maybe we Pochettino didn't get the tactics right today. Most likely a combination of all three.
We're still comfortably in top four and there's no need for slacking of out own players. This will (... hopefully) serve as a waking call for the remaining matches of the season.

Really didn't like the 3-4-3 setup. Just thought that played to Burnley's advantage to work channels and isolate our CBs and allow runners to expose space left by our fullbacks just chilling up field.
Also, taking off Winks should never be a thing. He's just too composed and once he came off we had no ability to really slow the game down and try to build up from midfield. Sissoko is great but he really works best when being able to do most of his work off the ball and finding pockets to run into.
Hindsight is 20/20, but there were a lot of things that seemed obvious that were just not good ideas happening today.

The 'experts' said "Tottenham once again fail"...??? Again? A month ago, we were 9 points behind Liverpool, a week ago we were not considered title challengers (by the experts) so how have we failed at anything. By their thinking 19 teams bottle it every year. We're still only 5 behind and they have to beat United. Plenty of points on the table. Liverpool are going to lose a few more IMO.

When I say poch's not RM standard yet, or ready for that sort of post, it's not me being nasty.
It's me wanting him to improve and iron out his creases and be amazing and actually good enough to go somewhere like that.
But stay with us and be amazing here.
Currently, seems to be some sort of block on learning certain things.
Is it arrogance, bloody-mindedness, pride?
Dunno.
But there's no circumventing the tweaks he needs to make.
Sooner he susses his blind spots, the sooner we get to that top, top level.
