Stop playing with wingbacks. It don’t work for us. If this was Nuno or Jose they’d be slated for playing a system we clearly don’t have the players for
No, we need to give Conte the players he needs for his system not have him change his to accommodate tripe.

I really don’t think we’ve been too bad. Ironically we were much better second half, when we lost the game. Our wing back areas kill us though - Royal was good defensively but offers nothing going forwards, and Sess was just not good enough.

I’d love to see Burnley disappear and never come back - it’s such a horrible place to go, especially on a night like this. It’s Burnley’s wet dream. I don’t feel too down about this. Certainly not as unexpected as the commentators are making out.
Surprisingly we've done well here in the PL. Only our second loss.

Well that was a fun three days

We werent terrible but we are our own worst downfall - our wing backs are awful - its like playing with nine.

Shocking. I’d lose to Man City every season if we could put in a decent performance against teams we should actually be beating like Southampton and Burnley.

Urgh nobody is surprised though are they? Which in itself tells you where we are as a club. I'm not even pissed off tbh

Typical Spursy game. Completely wasted the first half playing safe sideways football and not asking any questions of their defence. Brain dead players (bar Kane) just going through the motions.

Fully deserved win for Burnley - our players have been dining out all week on the back of the City game and their self-perception as heroes rarely lasts more than 5 days.

People talking about Burnley away but it’s not that hard a game they are in the bottom three ffs!

It’s just making excuses. We also lost to wolves and Southampton at home.

It’s nowhere near good enough even with this group of players.
No ones claiming we're good enough. Saints and Wolves evidence of that.

But doesn't mean you're wrong to say we've been unlucky and been done a bit tonight. We've largely controlled it, stopped their counters dead and didn't even do too much wrong for the goal. They're in a deep low block defending very well and it's always difficult to score in these unless you're really good from set pieces or the ball drops for you even just once. If we score first in this game it ends up being about 3 or 4.

it’s the hope that kills you with this fucking club

(And fuck the referee, even though we were never scoring that injury time was a joke - as was allowing pope to waste a minute with his goal kick)
