Actually this all reminded me of Poch in the last two years. Setting out with a back three - it doesn't work. Change it at half time we play better.

All a bit familiar.
Back to back managers making the same mistake with this squad - it's fucking baffling (to me personally) I'd wish to never see a back three as the starting line again, like ever.

And how poor is that for a club of our so called stature shocking!!!!
Mate, give them a break.
Yes we are poor at the back and we seem to have lost our way but there are many injuries and many players fatigue.
At least there was a try to win attitude in 2nd half.

I honestly can’t see where our next win is coming from, we are awful in all areas of the pitch, board only have themselves to blame come the end of the season, going to take years to fix this squad
If we loose our next two games season will be over, and what makes it worse so will next season. Because if Levy won’t get players in when we are in Europe you know what’s coming then, yes no player of quality will come when we haven’t got European football and levy won’t pay the wages. It will be back in the dark ages once again and take us years to get where we were. Great effort Danny boy done an amazing job on the football field and turning our football ground into the Tottenham O2 arena or should I say pound coin stadium. Fucking tosser

We're showing some decent signs between both boxes. The problems are at the back and up front. We can't defend our box well enough and there's clearly no cutting edge or outlet up front.

The latter will be mostly fixed by Kane and Son but the former will need a bit of work in the transfer window. CB and RB needed at a minimum. We may just get away without a DM. Skipp has looked fine and Winks has been solid in the last few. Starting to think defenders should take the priority now.

He knows this. The problem is it's not possible to field the same players every match and having them go full speed.

The question is how you lot don't realize this.

I do realise it. I’ve been banging on about it all week!

I'd try to win! But I'm really, really fucking shit. These are some of the best paid men in the game. They should be doing a hell of a lot more than trying. They should have won in that second half.

Not on about that I’m on about a club of our Europe stature with no striker, we are left in this position due to complete lack of investment. So when I’m paying top dollar to support my club then no I won’t give it a rest!!

Definitely Toby and Sanchez along with tanGanga was poor imo
Dier player very well 2nd half.
Verts played good.
But these 3 at the back were poor

Sadly I don't see what Ndombele brings at the moment

GLC was a game changer.

You tell me what good he has done?
No Kane, no son, no Sissoko, eriksen gone a shaky defence. We ain’t Barcelona and can’t play without a forward. What do you expect Jose to do? The fact we are still in contention for top 4 is a miracle. Not many teams come away from Burnley with a point. It’s annoying to have to repeat myself.

Yes better 2nd half - GLC made big difference plus not plus change in formation.
Dier had another good game, couple important tackles.
But give it a rest re Dele He is playing out of position in a team bereft of any football first half.
Get him in midfield/playing off Kane and hopefully will see the old Alli back.
Yeah thought dier had a decent 2nd half as he did at norwich. I really dont see it will alli, all we've heard for over a year was he was being asked to play too deep under poch and was more effective further forward and I get that he would be much better with kane or another proper forward to play off but he to me is a nearly player, odd bit of brilliance but not too much else. Not convinced hes good enough to build the side around him and kinda feels that what he needs. Been at the top level a few years now but still very inconsistent

Mate, they did try.
Consider the fatigues and the injuries.
I understand your frustration but we're gonna have to bear with this and sadly write this season off...

Fuck off Mourinho. But also, not good enough from the team. Once he fixed it at ht they should have done a hell of a lot better. Disgraceful from Lamela and GLC in particular.

What the ever living Jesus H Christ are you on about?
