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.

It's hard to progress a project when you have no money to invest in it. Poch has done amazingly well with the frankly pathetic financial resources at his disposal, considering the position we're in. It's a minor miracle.

Barnes literally just said they targeted Foyth.

Foyth couldn’t deal with it.

Sanchez would have been so much more suited to this game.

Poch really got that wrong.

Target has always been top 4 tbh. The CL progress is a fantastic bonus. Still well on for top 4 but screw up the next two games like today and it might be squeaky bum time, especially with Anfield and the Etihad to come...

So 3-0 against Dortmund and we are unstoppable, 2-1 against Burnley and we are dog shit. What was that word they say about Spurs supporters?
Starts with an F...
It's not "Fuckers", unless it's the goons, spammers or Ruskies saying it.

"Fickle" , that's the one.

Let’s see how the other results go before we slit our collective wrists.

Today was a victory for anti-football. Burnley are a horrible team who specialise in punting long balls upfield and time wasting. We did not deserve to lose today and are certainly not legends. Don’t blame Poch for having a go at the referee.

Can’t help but respect them for what they’ve accomplished given their means, but I always dread playing them, as they usually make it quite difficult for us with their manner of defending.
I have no respect for a club that is being managed by and supports said xenophobe, fuck them.
