Match Threads Burnley vs Spurs - Match Thread - Round 6

[ClintEastwould]

There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to be starting Lucas & Davies against Burnley. None.

Never a dull moment with you haha

Could it be that Sanchez, Winks and Stevie B are also carrying small knocks... hence not playing them. Same with Dele?

Players are going to have to miss out on match day squads.
No point in second guessing why each game.

No, he's picked the best squad for this match.

Maybe, one injury issue but not all of them.

Like the line up and the fact we seem to pick a team tailored to the opponent.

Most title chasing teams drop points, good away record at Burnely, Kane great goalscoring against Burnley. Burnely not won this season. We all know how this is going to turn out don't we?

In all seriousness though, a must win tonight if we want to be serious title challengers.

Regardless of the actual teams playing, MNF has always been like this people. They also did a Kane piece at the start, stop moaning.

They have a right to moan. Kane is playing today so the rest of our team along with Burnley's should be discussed. Not Manu Utd, Liverpool who already had their "space" over the weekend. Pathetic argument defending Skysports' apparent stance.

And 2 premier league games between them. I'm not doubting the quality, just the experience at this level.

Devils advocate position on this is that we have enough players with plenty of experience that can’t keep their nerve and see out a game. Both lads are very talented so are we really worse off?

As the more physically robust players, I definitely understand the full back choices as Burnley target full backs with high balls to large attackers, a bit like Allardyce used to use Kevin Davies as a wide target man. I half expected it. Lucas, Lamela and Bale all started on Thursday, Lucas was by far the best performer, therefore he deserves the start. As for Sissoko, until Mourinho can trust both Lo Celso and Ndombele to be able to hack a full match, it’ll be one out the other and a great option of the bench, which means Sissoko or Winks will be starting. I’m not thrilled by it but you can’t start two players who both only have 60 minutes in them.

The bench contains Lamela, Lo Celso, Bale and Vinicius. That is scary if your name is Sean Dyche.

Sean would smash 'em all, grrrr

I really look forward to seeing the holy trinity of GLC, Ndombele and Winks Sissoko Hojbjerg at some point.

Mourinho: We're better than last time

Jose Mourinho expects another tough match against Burnley but says they are in a much better place than the last time they faced them.

The holy trinity is Son Kane and Bale. I would describe your three as the 3 wise men! ?

Good question!

MNF has always been about analysing the weekends games, people are moaning because their team is apparently being ignored, its nonsense.

If you want to be more specific the analysis usually takes about 30-40 minutes before they focus on the actual game. The analysis may also include something related to the game - Kane's passing ability. If it's a really big game the analysis gets pushed back to after the game.

When they have guests, it usually focuses on the them, they offer insight on the weeknd's action, moments in their career etc.

Relax.

Davies over reguilon makes sense as Sergio played the full 90 last weekend and Thursday. Well earned rest.

 

[hughy]

Dunno why but I'm getting so nervous before our games these days. I need to drink more.

BUKKAKE!!!

Burnley 1 - 4 Spurs

Love that we are not being talked about as title contenders. Jose will love it and use it to fire the boys up.
