Spurs look to bounce back after a shockingly poor performance at Old Trafford on Wednesday. Burnley have been hot and cold this season, but if they are up for it they can make life difficult for any side. Wednesday's reverse showed Mourinho the scale of the job ahead of him, with the biggest problem being sorting out central midfield, which has been an unmitigated disaster. The other concern for me is why £150 million of signings (Lo Celso, Ndombele and Sessegnon) are not playing more regularly, while consistently poor performers in Winks, Sissoko and Dier are being selected. The other big item for Jose is changing the mentality of the players. After the game at United, he and some of the players (Dele, Sissoko) said he had repeatedly warned them that the home side would come out flying, but we simply were not at the races. Dele also said that the team were guilty of arrogance and overconfidence, which to me is a stunning revelation, considering that this group has never won anything. Is this the players being weak mentally or just ignoring the coach, or Jose unable to convey his message? Either way it is concerning.
Remember two weeks ago when Gazzinga got a knock on his right knee? He looks like it is still present.
For once we come out of the blocks on fire, Kane and Son with a couple of beauties and our attacking play has been irresistible. Now, can we play a solid 2nd half and avoid a repeat of West Ham and Bournemouth?
more important than the goals. Only Burnley, but then again it was only Bournemouth, Olimpiacos and West Ham.
Someone on DC Spurs said, Sissoko now only needs 263 goals before he overtakes Jimmy Greaves as the all time record scorer.
Sissoko has scored 2 in 3 games after scoring 1 in 100. Somehow, there is a maths question in there...
