Burnley Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[ilikeost]

Bentaleb, Mason and Paulinho In a midfield 3 with Eriksen and Chadli wide forwards would be my guess.

4-2-3-1 with Paulinho as the central attacking midfielder is more likely.

Be nice but poch change formation? Not likely

either of the cm lads should be captain, don't think harry needs the "pressure".

I'd give it to Mason. He's very vocal and Spurs through and through.

 

[gushayes11]

Thats one of the slowest teams Ive ever seen Spurs put out

Exactly, against a very slow back 4 of Burnley.

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

Perhaps club now feel top 4 beyond us. Play squad players with view to selling in summer.

We have some real idiots on this forum that is for sure. Losing their shit one hour before a game because Dembélé wasn't picked over Paulinho... Yeah, because Dembélé has been so fucking awsome hasn't he?

IMO, based on their performances in a Spurs shirt to date, Dembele on a below-average day is better than Paulinho on an above-average day.

Kane is the captain? Oh god, i can see it now....

Ref: 'Alright Harry, heads or tails?'


'Rock.'

Maybe pauli has been putting in a shift in training and the gaffer has had time to work with him whilst the rest have been away on internationals?

Yeah, it's important to remember we don't see what goes on in training and don't know any of the lads personally. Poch knows best, I trust him.

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

What odds on us keeping clean sheet today?

 

[mpickard2087]

He had a good game, pressed well and actually put in a shift defensivey, definitely one of his better games in a Spurs shirt

I remember in his first two minutes on the pitch counting four occasions where he half pressed the first time and then just let his runner go without tracking them. Gave up counting after that...

It is basically being formed off of one competent pass, lets be honest.

As I say though, he's got his chance today and we hope he takes it.

At this rate I can see Kane being Prime Minister by the end of May.

Says a geezer with a teddybear as his av....grow up.

Vlad just realised he's starting https://vine.co/v/OhiwxUzZIeH

Massive weak link imo.

What worries me most about the Paulinho selection is that whatever else Burnley lack as a team, they're always up for a battle. And Paulinho is probably the last player in our squad that I'd want to go into battle with.

Who gives a shit? Pochettino obviously thinks Paulinho is the better option today. Crying over Dembélé (with his amazing 1 goal and 1 assist in 21 games) not starting is just pathetic even if Paulinho has been worse.

Does Lamela smell?

 

[VegasII]

That line up is un immense.

The thing for me is that Dembele had a few promising games where he did quite well, then he had an absolute stinker against WHAM and he hasn't IIRC been selected since. Seems a bit harsh when he was doing quite well before then.

Both teams to score-very decent odds.
