Match Threads Spurs vs Burnley - Match Thread

[shoggy33]

F*** me every time I look at our midfield I just want to cry

 

[Dr Know]

Having seen the starting lineup....I can now vote ?

 

[Hakkz]

Disappointed with the lack of bravery.

 

[paulcumpstone]

Is Jose is anything like poch you will see eriksen and maybe rose come on and none of the others are getting above 10 minutes. Calling it now

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

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.

I agree fully with you that as fans we should expect more from Lucas. As I think is a description on every player on the pitch these last games. But that alone, that singular argument is not enough to all of the sudden start somebody who is a worse fit and has less experience. Lucas is finally getting a run in the team, and I believe that is fully warranted. HE won't get any better from now returning to the bench just because he doesn't play like a world star. This amazing Spurs Community love for a) new signings who b) don't play is very irrational. There is no reason yet to announce that Lo Celso is our saviour.

Thought after Lucas being so poor at Man Utd that GLC would start for sure

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

How can he say Sissoko isn't a midfielder then start him there? GLC is more than capable.

So disappointing.

At home to a team like Burnley too. We will start with no tempo. Dier and sissoko will be happy to complete square passes and will invite Burnley into the game. Also what's happened to foyth?

I don't get it. Most teams would love to have a creative midfielder with the talent that GLC has. Yet we leave him on the bench game after game in favour of a midfield with zero creativity.

 

[GutBucket]

At least bench is good. Maybe we get good Moura this time around.

 

[Wick3d]

Ndombele seems very injury prone, he always seems to be hobbling in most games

I believe he was never injured until he came to Tottenham. Just our luck.

Jose has his favorites like Poch had his

 

[JCRD]

Most are saying Lucas was poor against Manure but EVERYONE was poor and insipid against Manure...

 

[Hakkz]

At least bench is good. Maybe we get good Moura this time around.

Burnley will sit deep and be boring, exactly the type of game Lucas is ineffective in.

Well Aurier is about due for a red card so Rose coming on is a significant possibilitiy

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

I like this team very much, it's a good line up and builds consistency. I maintain my worry for the Alderweireld Sanchez partnership, as neither is bad on their own but I don't like them together. But our options are limited.

 

[homer hotspur]

I think it's going to be a real struggle today and, looking at both teams, our midfield in danger of being outnumbered

I'm fine with Lucas getting a chance. I'd just like to see GLC getting a chance too. He's very talented and he's what we are missing in midfield. I'm not saying he's our saviour, but he literally cannot be any worse than Sissoko or Winks in that position. Five mins at the end of games is pathetic. He was bossing games against the best teams in La Liga. He's not some unknown punt.

 

[Zoltar60]

Just seen squad. Winks, Ndombele injured or rested?

 

[VancouverSpur]

Jose has his favorites like Poch had his

Yep it’s just his favorites are often not mine...hope Lucas can have a blinder today and prove me wrong

 

[Colonel Dax]

Bit worrying that we have midfield injuries with so many games coming up.
