----------------------------------------------------------------------
Top 4 is already secure for you
We will beat Arsenal no problem. They got no balls whatsoever and I’m confident we will turn them over. Chelsea away is another thing altogether playing horrendously but always turn up against us.

Absolutely no chanceour 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
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We made two changes from the last game.
1 to bring back our first choice left back in Rose
2 to bring back our first choice striker in Kane
I reckon everyone would’ve made the same changes
win the next two and we might be back in the mix who know

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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
100%
Such a clown
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Flippity Flop
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Football doesn't always work like that. We may have played better than in all of those games against United.
One thing this Spurs do well under Poch is bounce back after defeats.

Well apart from a couple of weeks ago, when Spurs got dumped out of two competitions in four days.
Totally agree with OP.
This was so predictable. Spurs blow every chance they get. Over last 4 seasons we’ve lost to West Ham twice, West Brom, wolves and now Burnley to mess up chances to either go top or close to it.
We just don’t have the minerals to win the league, in fact anything judging by our cup failures last 20 years.

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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You are right. It’s just the timing of it that grates on me. Another chance missed. I don’t think any of us think we would win league, but we should have won today to really make Liverpool and city think.
Chronic, we will spank Arsenal mate. They are total pansies and if we can get in their face, then no problem despatching then. Chelsea away I’m worried about like always.

We need to be able to go on one of those big winning runs that the very best teams can, and it should be possible for this team. We went on a 9 game winning run a couple of seasons ago. This season it's been only 5 at the most. Not good enough.

We have a good chance of winning our current CL leg against Dortmund. If we have a full squad.
But we cannot have another performance in Dortmund like we had today at turfmoor. They will get the 3 goals back if we do that!
I blame Levy, pure and simple. No equivalent replacement for Walker. No improvement in the squad.
Buy nothing in this game ....nothing is what you get in return.
Today we really did miss Alli.
But our defending was also missing. Dunno whose fault that is?
Perhaps Pochettino's high line to get a win cost us the match?
Must say I'm Bugggered by this result.

Yeh well that was at the startof the season. Not in my wildest dreams could I have envisaged the Tinkerman rotating the team to these ridiculous levels. He hasn't got a clue what his best defence is anymore, that is a sure sign he his losing it, as was his outburst yesterday. Very worrying signs that usually only mean one, it will all end badly this season, when it should have been one to celebrate with a bit of decent management.
The week from hell has only just begun. Come the end of the week, I won't be the only Spurs fan moaning.

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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He got one against Burnley

You are right. It’s just the timing of it that grates on me. Another chance missed. I don’t think any of us think we would win league, but we should have won today to really make Liverpool and city think.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We need to be able to go on one of those big winning runs that the very best teams can, and it should be possible for this team. We went on a 9 game winning run a couple of seasons ago. This season it's been only 5 at the most. Not good enough.

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.

We have a good chance of winning our current CL leg against Dortmund. If we have a full squad.
But we cannot have another performance in Dortmund like we had today at turfmoor. They will get the 3 goals back if we do that!
I blame Levy, pure and simple. No equivalent replacement for Walker. No improvement in the squad.
Buy nothing in this game ....nothing is what you get in return.
Today we really did miss Alli.
But our defending was also missing. Dunno whose fault that is?
Perhaps Pochettino's high line to get a win cost us the match?
Must say I'm Bugggered by this result.

Totally agree with OP.
This was so predictable. Spurs blow every chance they get. Over last 4 seasons we’ve lost to West Ham twice, West Brom, wolves and now Burnley to mess up chances to either go top or close to it.
We just don’t have the minerals to win the league, in fact anything judging by our cup failures last 20 years.

Spurs will never win anything under Poch, the changes the team around to much.

It didn't prevent you from thinking that we'd win the title under him at the start of the season.

Yeh well that was at the startof the season. Not in my wildest dreams could I have envisaged the Tinkerman rotating the team to these ridiculous levels. He hasn't got a clue what his best defence is anymore, that is a sure sign he his losing it, as was his outburst yesterday. Very worrying signs that usually only mean one, it will all end badly this season, when it should have been one to celebrate with a bit of decent management.
The week from hell has only just begun. Come the end of the week, I won't be the only Spurs fan moaning.

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.

He got one against Burnley
