Tottenham versus MIGHTY CLARETS

[Gordaleman]

Really poor effort again from JayRod, right on HT.

If we could have got one there, it might have lifted us for the second half.

[box_of_frogs]

Have we shown any effort yet, or just been overrun the whole half?

[claretcarrot93]

Tarkowski also, Mee was completely unaware where the rest of his back line were you don’t play the offside as deep as that without knowing where your team mates are. It was a poor decision which cost us a goal.

Mee stepped up when he was marking him. Mee's fault

[icu81b4]

Vydra seems to get knocked off the ball an awful lot.

[Dark Cloud]

Bizarrely I HONESTLY think we've looked a more than decent threat going forward!

[Somethingfishy]

Going forward we look reasonable today. I think we lack that clinical edge but we have had our chances and have a semblance of danger about us. At the back it is a sh*tshow..which is unusual for us..and to be fair Tottenham have taken their chances.

[SGr]

I’d be tempted by Wood on but truth by told the game has gone so best to save him for Leicester.

[Garnerssoap]

I'm already in there.

Get us a pilsner urquell in to celebrate vydra’s stunning second half quadruple

[WazzaClaret]

Weren't Spurs 3 up against West Ham?

Love that, let's get wood on for brownhill and go 4 3 3

[Devils_Advocate]

Surprised Dyche didn't start with Stephens for either Cork or Westwood as it was obvious this was a game made for him. Too late now but I'd get him on for Westwood and at least try and win the second half.

Had a tough start but been impressed with Brownhill who is about the only Burnley player who looks any good today

[snapcrackleandpop]

Rednapp just said that Burnley's midfield aren't close to being in the game and are allowing Spurs to run straight at a our back four. I couldn't agree more, I know it's my constant complaint and but we need a total upgrade in midfield and or a complete change of tactics in midfield.

A tactical change ! Wash your mouth out young man.

[dpinsussex]

Richardson second half hattrick anyone??

[claptrappers_union]

What’s that sound? there’s a load of helicopters - it’s says inGen on them... this doesn’t make sense.

Right, turns out on of them a game hunter - he wants to shoot a T-Rex

[tim_noone]

I wonder if Pace is at the game .....thinking this is what you Could have had,for another 30quid.

[FCBurnley]

We are like the walking dead compared to Spurs. Garlick and Pace have a lot to answer for. Fulham has 6 loan players today. We have **** all

[expoultryboy]

Why is he so stubborn with this formation against teams with pace ? Our central 2 midfielders ( who i like ) , aren't quick enough and need help .

[Tribesmen]

Well yer whatever game over . Still all Spurs nneed to do is sit then pick us off when they want to .

Ben made a massive mistake after 63 seconds and we lost the game .

[warksclaret]

Vydra wont score if he starts the next 10 games. Lets see the impact SD can make at HT.

There appears to have been no research done on Spurs. They are powering through us and having the run of midfield. Bear in mind they have lost 5 of the last 6 games, but we are making them look like Man City. When we get it we cannot appear to control the ball, take a pass or lay it off. Endless long balls to our front two who are just not in the game. Cork looks absolutely knackered when he tries to chase back. The positive of these games is that they really tell you how good individually each player is

[MT03ALG]

I predicted that we would finish on 55 points but am 4 points off schedule with the 2 home draws v Fulham and WBA. Nothing gained, nothing lost today so am now on target for 51 points. However, that target includes 3 more home victories and 4 more away victories as well as 2 draws!!

[THEWELLERNUT70]

The avalanche of ar5ehole comments had begun already I see... call yourself fans?

By all means critique the performance after the game, but support the bloody team whilst they’re playing eh

I really hope Dyche doesn't show the team this thread at halftime FFS

[huw.Y.WattfromWare]

Every time Spurs play their big boys in midfield we are fooked. I was praying he’d start Winks and Lo Celso but not to be.
These guys are bigger, faster, stronger.

[Bosscat]

Vydra seems to get knocked off the ball an awful lot.

Shhhhhh we are not allowed to say anything aboyr Vydra

[jojomk1]

We are like the walking dead compared to Spurs. Garlick and Pace have a lot to answer for. Fulham has 6 loan players today. We have **** all

I thought the rule was only two loan players at any time

[warksclaret]

Keane says it as it is. He praised our two CH's and Pope pre game. At HT saying both were dreadful and we are playing worse than v WBA

[SussexDon1inIreland]

Have to say I am not bothering staying on here today because of all the negative comments on here
Why do you bother are you really Rovers fans?

Agree we played poorly vs West Brom

But today we’re playing a fantastic team which cost ten times our teams cost. We don’t have their quality players - simply as that.

Don’t get what’s the point of sitting typing a load of bile.

[jrgbfc]

Was crying out for 4-5-1 and an extra body in midfield today.

[NewClaret]

Shhhhhh we are not allowed to say anything aboyr Vydra

To be honest, recent performances have completely dispelled any myths that Vydra should play when all of our strikers are fit.

[Juan Tanamera]

Richardson second half hattrick anyone??

Might as well get hung for a sheep......etc

[HB Claret]

Very disappointed that the Special One didn’t start with Dyer - that might have given us a chance

[dpinsussex]

Might as well get hung for a sheep......etc

Nothing to lose. Give the lad the experience.
Not like we will win from here

[NewClaret]

Just watched the goals back. 1 & 3 could have been avoided by Brownhill not standing off the crosser. Get closer ffs.

The 2nd I thought JRod was weak, waiting for the cross to come to him. Needed to step across. Again though, Brownhill misjudged the flight of the ball.

[Bosscat]

Was crying out for 4-5-1 and an extra body in midfield today.

Crying is all that some on here seem capable of

[jojomk1]

I just wish we could go back to Sunday afternoons with David Vine hosting Ski Sunday

It was crap

But not this crap

Apologies for the critique but I just had an urge

And I don't get any semblance of an urge very often nowadays

[joey13]

I wonder if Pace is at the game .....thinking this is what you Could have had,for another 30quid.

Still in America selling snake oil

[Clevedon Claret]

Vydra seems to get knocked off the ball an awful lot.

Have to agree.
I was always in the give vydra a chance camp. But it's obvious the PL Is too physical for him.

[kentonclaret]

Do Tottenham's previous 5 results in the PL point to the fact that they are a "fantastic team"?

Or, are their quality players being given so much time and space on the ball that they can't fail to flourish and prosper?

[MACCA]

Bizarrely I HONESTLY think we've looked a more than decent threat going forward!

We couldnt be any worse than last week, and it's much easier when your hand is forced going behind so early.

We often start to play when we go behind , see Villa, Brighton and Fulham.

Also Tottenham think this could be 5 or 6, so are all trying to get involved leaving us some room.
Sadly our lack of creativity, strength or pace means we aren't causing them too many issues.
Theyve got us at more than arms length

[elwaclaret]

Spurs are just too mobile for us, same as Manchester City. The days when we could stick on a Phil Malley or Kevin Ball to ruffle a few feathers are over, sadly. We simply do not have the means to deal with a side that is so fluid. We are off form, we are off the pace and it’s making it feel worse, but they are light years ahead of us.

[FCBurnley]

I thought the rule was only two loan players at any time

So did I but CT said that international loans are different. Suggest we start scouring Europe to see who fancies a couple of months in the PL unless of course we have missed the cut off date. Sure there are lot of players who would want to showcase their talents in the PL

[SalisburyClaret]

Among teams in the big-five European leagues, only Bayern Munich (102) have more goals in all competitions this season than Tottenham (94).

Thanks for telling us all that and that you're not bothering to stay and that it's all bile! Your comment is ultra positive! Defeatist almost! We played Liverpool and Arsenal & that team cost 10 times more too. What's your point? These have lost 5 out of the last 6.

Bore off!

[IanMcL]

2nd half underway

[fidelcastro]

Westwood practically hugging Son in the tunnel when coming out for the second half, laughing and joking with him.

Inappropriate when 3-0 down in my opinion.

[Garnerssoap]

Among teams in the big-five European leagues, only Bayern Munich (102) have more goals in all competitions this season than Tottenham (94).

There’s still 45 mins left give them a chance

[Clevedon Claret]

COME ON BURNLEY

[Jamesy]

The way Spurs are attacking today, they’d beat most teams if not all teams - phenomenal is the only word for it.

No they wouldn’t. They have struggled to beat hardly anyone lately. They look good because we are abysmal.

[jojomk1]

No they wouldn’t. They have struggled to beat hardly anyone lately. They look good because we are abysmal.

Exactly

[fidelcastro]

We need a Jonathan van tam quoted comeback!
