Match Threads Spurs vs Burnley - Match Thread

They last won consecutive top-flight games against us back in April 1975.

No need to rub it in. I was at both of those games.

Just feckin win will ya.

Bad enough having to traipse round every feckin store imaginable, packed with ditherers unsure whether to buy the chestnuts now or leave for a week.

"Shall I get the brandy sauce love."

Just feckin win.

Pleeeaaaaasssseeee.

I'm not liking the almost-90% "Spurs to win" vibe....

Nailed-on victory for the troglodytes, coming up...

We appear to have a long list of doubtfuls for the match. Both Ashleys, Taylor & Bardsley. JBG missing too so Drinkwater likely to figure. Whoever starts in defence and midfield let’s have two up top from the off.

Me neither. Not exactly the kind of team you want to face when really needing a victory.

Do you remember the game last season and Hart’s timewasting then as soon as we scored near the end he was sprinting to take goal kicks. Same with the throw ons, I’dnever seen teams time wasting from throw ons after 5 minutes before.

Ben Foster is a nightmare, ruins games with his timewasting (or game management as a Watford fan I know who was a professional keeper at one time call it), that West Brom keeper who used to wear his pyjama bottoms in goal was the same, it was a joy to give him stick after we scored the winner late on in the game and he'd wasted so much time it gave them no time to try and equalise. He looked like he'd sucked a lemon as we gave him the Winker, Winker chant.

Good news, bad news watching the team stroll in in that video. Good news is Sessegnon, KWP and Skipp make an appearance. Bad news is so does Eriksen.

Those advertising hoardings for his passing stats though ...

Like to see Sessegnon and Skipp play a part today and KWP get some time too

It takes 2 days to watch The Irishman. Very good though.

Yes, for sure, let's bench the one player who has been waiting for, has been deserving, and now is actually given a run and a shot at getting the hang of it, for a player who has not the same experience, not at all one-for-one identical types of strengths and who when started in Lucas' position showed no reason for why he should be a given starter.

Absolute starters for me are Aurier, Vertonghen, Dier, Lucas, Dele (and of course Kane, who starts if he can even walk steadily). If Ndombele can be tossed in there, I'd be happy.

Against Burnley, who will park the bus, we need players who can pick a pass. There won't be much space in behind.

Disagree completely. For that position, we'll need a player who'll pop up and score on no notice, and who isn't too worried about getting loads of time on the ball.

At the stadium with my grandson he is buzzing of his tits after conning me into another burger, 3 drinks and a spurs cap game hasn't even started

 

[Fredo]

I think this is a game born for Lo Celso and Alli to provide the creative spark to break Burnley down.
Ndombele Lo Celso
Lucas Alli Son
Kane

GLC is exactly the sort of player who is comfortable with the ball. I don't understand why you're so against him ever playing. Moura hasn't been setting the world on fire.
