Match Threads BURNLEY vs TOTTENHAM - MATCH DAY 4

[Bluto Blutarsky]

No problem with either of our bookings - letter of the law. But they do seem to be getting away with a bit.

A couple of times Burnley players did the same thing as Sarr. Show some consistency.

That Romero bullet might be my favourite goal of the season. Love a centre back hitting one of those every ten years.

You sound like a centerback. For those of us who played striker, it was pretty meh.

 

[fecka]

Agree - Kulu and Solomon (assist aside) should make better use of the ball when they have it.

Feel the movement around them has been lacking at times. Both have found themselves in good positions but haven't had clear options to play the ball

 

[BorjeSpurs]

We don't always play good, but boy is it exciting to watch!

Literally this compared to the last couple of seasons.

Neither do I but Burnley have fouled our players at least 3 or 4 times that should be a regulation yellow card imo.

We have other levels to go to. The football is good but we’ve been a bit careless in final 3rd and made some wrong decisions. Once it all starts to click I think we’ll be awesome. Great finish but Cuti and really happy to see Son score. He’s had a quiet half but made some nice runs that weren’t found and his finish was absolutely clinical.

Just caught the last 5.

Great strike Cuti!

Hope we can push on and get the W.

Agree on VAR comments, it’s nonsensical. Does really impact the viewing of the game, implementation all wrong.

 

[Now it's Spursonal]

Son- Magnificent finish and has pressed like a mad man

Kulu- Has had the beating of his man all day, just needs to get the pass right after it

Solomon- Been lively, but a small bit out of sync with the rest

Maddison- Running the show again

Sarr- Small bit quiet, but been solid

Bissouma- Covering ground very well, but not quite as dominant as recent games

Udogie- Been fantastic, both offensively and defensively

Porro- Not been great if I’m being honest

Van De Ven- Brilliant

Romero- Brilliant, what a strike too

Vicario- Very safe, his two footedness is a massive advantage

 

[gavspur]

Bloody Romero, ruined my next goal scorer bet.

 

[Misfit]

We've shown a bit of character in that half. Not just from the slow start but the midweek result too. Green shoots...

 

[SixtyFour]

Loving it. We're making too many mistakes, but they're the right kind of mistakes. Son and Deki still the weakest links, but I can live with that if we maintain the style.

Think Deki has been good. Onions. Noticeable that our attacking players often seem to be getting right on top of each other.

Hope he's not watching on an illegal stream!!!

I used to actually leave the room when we played under Jose and Conte for spells in the match. I never did that in 20 odd years of watching Spurs before that. The football now is great, it's like a hybrid of Jol, Harry, Ossie, Poch rolled into one. Just enjoyable stuff I'm so happy

I'm missing my four-year ingrained, football-induced naps tho. It's playing havoc with my body clock!

 

[GMI]

Bentancur with a dodgy stream

 

[Whazam]

Really sloppy sometimes, but a lot of fun.

The front three doing great. Great pressing from Son (and lovely goal), Solomon looks hungry, and how many times didn't Deki break up their play?

Some question marks:
- Why is Bissouma barely moving without the ball? A bit worrying. (Actually saw it in the second half against Bournemouth as well, but he compensated by being amazing on the ball.)
- What's England's beef with Deki? He's beaten his man so many times, but then they just grab him with both arms or pull him down, and I don't think he's gotten one free kick?

 

[Albertbarich]

Kulu is finding his way in this system. He's also being closely marked as they know what he can do given a little space and the opportunity to cut inside and get a shot off.

Needs to work on his passing a bit I think. Promising though.

I think he misses the partnership he had with Bentancur.

It's his final product and lack of a burst of pace that troubles me. But his general play has been good.

Hope it's legal!
