And still not as bad as this place. One game and Poch is to blame and clueless and the players are bottle jobs..
I'm not even that surprised really. After beating Dortmund 3-0, long break to rest, talk of winning the title, articles gushing about how amazing we are, fans getting carried away......this result was fucking coming our way, gift wrapped and clear from a million miles. We do this time and time again, we lose sight of what's in front of us because we are too busy looking up at the clouds. This is why I said I don't like getting carried away with title talk because we have days like this in us.
We can analyse the game, the individuals, the line-up, formation, subs, etc, but we just didn't have our focus today. That was the biggest issue. It was an unfamiliar situation and we were too dizzy with it. The title is gone, please for the love of god let's just forget about it, delete that fucking thread too. Our objective now is to secure top 4 and go as far in the CL as we can, which was always our real objective to be honest.

I ain’t ya fucking mate , go fuck your sister you inbred prick!
Yes, Sammy.
Every loss is for the same reasons.
And every loss is for a single reason.
Pochettino: Tottenham lost to Wolves because they were tired
Hope Pool beat United now (don't think they will though).
I was kind of just joking in saying 'i guess we'll just settle for winning only the champions league'. As in winning the EPL is pretty much done.
Fuck this
What the hell?
You do know what decides football matches, right? It has nothing to do with posession.
We did not create a single clear-cut chance today. Kane (brilliantly) scored a half chance and his long range one was another half chance. Yet Burnley created smth like 3 (one that flew over the bar). There was not enough agression and direct approach to our play throughout this 90 minutes. As someone said, they wanted it more, they fought for it more and they deserved to win the game.
We could not withstand the pressure and bottled it. No other way to describe this situation unfortunately. As much as it hurts that is what happened. It is not the end of the world we are still having a wonderful season and let's see how far can we go in CL, but with two teams 5 points ahead of us, this is the real end of our fight to be crowned champions. Well it was unlikely anyways, wasn't it?
Woah. Poch actually looked like he was going to deck Mike Dean. I imagine he's going to be in quite a bit of trouble for that?
You are an absolute spunktrumpet mate ...so just do one with your huge negativity and inability to articulate anything without swearing....Jog on mate
Maybe not fatigue. More like the complacency and lethargicness of a club who's owners have the arrogance to expect a title push without spending any money.
Poch and the lads have struggled and fought against the odds all season. Maybe it's finally starting to take its toll
Results wise yes (well not really), but we have been poor for months. Plus this team lost in both cups.
Fuck I wanna know what Mike Dean said to Poch. He was walking away and then quickly turned round followed by a prompt to say ''say it again to the TV"
Yep good post and fair points but what a poor game all round by us.
Defensively fragile, lacking in midfield and apart from the odd occasion blunt in attack.
Nobody should have thought it wouldz be easy but we played in a manner that gave Burnley confidence.
Nobody in our team could think they played well today.
It was an awful team show. Worst I can remember in a long time given the context and supposed quality we had on display.
And of coirse the pundits have been proved right.

Agree 100% taking winks off was amongst his worst ever decisions we looked totally inept after substitution - deserved nothing and got nothing eriksen sissoko aurier llorente and son all having their worst game in a long time (IMO)
Do you even understand how important this game was?
CHANGE THE CHANNEL THEN!
(that also means your paying for Sky mate)
Actually it means I'm a hypocrite who is stealing from Sky
Should have let you bet more
Burnley have been on a huge unbeaten run and were set up perfectly to stifle us and we played in to their hands, the way they pressed us in the first half and the way we let another goal in from a corner. We didn't build from the equaliser and we never particularly dangerous.
Sometimes after breaks, it's not fatigue, it's lacking sharpness and I think we did. We have Chelsea Wednesday and Woolwich Saturday, we need to sharpen up and we need Dele back ASAP to give us another few ideas in midfield.
Had we got the first goal today it might have been a different story but our game plan just didn't work today.
