My Thoughts on Today's Game

1 - we are awful defensively but we’ve scored a fair few from them.

2 - it’s what we ask from our CBs actually all our players. 100% wrong to want him out on loan. He’s quality and I want him working with our team not some other management team.

3 - Aurier is shiet yet some calling him to start is astonishing. Trippier has lots of faults but at least you know he’ll stick a few great balls in. Major upgrade needed.

4 - He’s been really off it yet still popping up with crucial goals and assists.

Spurs will 100 per cent lose to both Chelsea and Arsenal. The defence has become the weakest point of the team, and don't look anywhere near improving anytime soon.

I had higher hopes for the CL, and I still stand by that.

Think really the damage has been done in the league already with losses to Watford and Wolves when we were leading. It's going to require a special number of points to win this season and we don't have it in us, not with the tough games ahead. The loss to Burnley today is probably inconsequential.

CL should be the priority.

Danny Rose is so frustrating also, he does a lot of good work down the flank (when he isn`t sat on his aris asking for a free kick that is) but almost never puts in a good ball. His crosses are either over hit or straight at a defender, and his cut backs never find a Spurs player.

I don`t even think he has had an assist this season. Vertonghen put more decent balls into the box in one game v Dortmund than Rose has all season.

Aurier was poor today, as were all the back four, but Trippier by a country mile is our worse defender, cannot cross a ball to save his life now, cannot defend, cannot beat a man, and is as slow as a snail. Needs moving on pronto.

It looked like the performances had caught up with Spurs today. They’ve pulled a few out the bag of late but that was a poor result today!

Sandy you will definitely beat us and probably beat Chelsea, too

What Trippier can do well at times is putting in a ball without the need for a touch first. Plenty of times today we invite a player to close in because we take a touch before wanting to cross. So frustrating.

Trippier & Rose are by far our creative full backs and need to be our number 1 in those positions until the summer where we need to upgrade both positions.

Aurier should be moved to 3rd place RB now.

I say it as I see it. You don't call the manager Flippity Flop when he changes the team a lot more than I change my opinions. Poch is absolutely Flippity Flop. Never seen any Spurs manager make so many changes game on game.

We actually score a fair few from set pieces to be fair.

Today was disappointing but shows why nobody takes us seriously for the title. We have been punching above our weight.

Just need to get top 4 from here. A champions league run would be great.

Yes, but how many of those were from a quality cross or pass, rather than a simple pass to another player who went on to smash in a goal. His delivery from out wide is generally below standard considering the good positions he gets into.

That's because I understand a manager needs to rotate and keep players fresh and happy.

The defence was only one issue today.

I don't believe we'll be losing 3 games in a row though.

Interesting that spurs serve up a dreadful performance after 10 days rest the same we did. We were lucky not to lose after our break!

Maybe less games in a season isn't beneficial after all.

You literally said he didn’t have a assist at all now you’re trying to play down the ones he’s has to suit your agenda.

Can think of one straight away, Chelsea semi final

Sorry mate, not the way the defence performed today, you will have too much up front. A few high balls into the box will be meat and drink for your big fellas.

Expecting something like 3-1 Chelsea and maybe 3-1 Arsenal.

Nope, I said I didn`t think he had an assist. Agenda

Absolutely no chance our defense is worse than it was under Wenger. If we lose by just 2 goals I’ll be happy, the likelihood is the losing margin will be far higher

The team has been playing shocking against the likes of Fulham, Palace, Leicester, Newcastle and Watford since the New Year, and got away with it. Burnley were not brilliant today, but still more than good enough to beat Spurs. Both Chelsea and Arsenal are a cut above all those teams. I am expecting three defeats this week.

I may have fancied Spurs with a settled team, but we have the biggest Tinkerman in Prem history in Poch, he will put all the names in a hat 11.30 next Saturday and pick the 11 players, none of us will have a clue what team he will pick, neither will he till the names come out of the hat.
