Why Spurs weren’t able to thrash whipping boys Burnley

A lacklustre Tottenham side left it late to secure a 1-0 win over Burnley on Saturday afternoon.

As was predicted by some, Spurs looked hungover from their midweek European success in Barcelona.

We’ve analysed how they got on at Wembley Stadium to pull out some Fantasy Premier League talking points.

Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 Burnley

Goals: Christian Eriksen (£9.3m)

Assists: Harry Kane (£12.6m)

Statistically, Harry Kane (£12.6m) had his worst Premier League performance since the Gameweek 10 in his Saturday afternoon outing against Burnley. In Gameweek 17, the talismanic striker had just two shots, his lowest total for seven league matches, when Spurs faced Manchester City. Neither of his efforts at Wembley on Saturday was on target either, and only one was taken in the box. It was a far cry from what we saw of Kane between Gameweeks 11 and 15 where he was offering an average of 4.4 goal attempts per game. The 1,151,183 managers who handed him the armband will perhaps consider themselves fortunate to have picked up a stoppage-time assist.

However, those already considering the premium man’s place in their squads should consider some mitigating factors. The first was the impact of Spurs’ midweek Champions League exploits. It was clear that they were left completely shattered by the performance they put on in Barcelona, Mauricio Pochettino’s men looking very laboured all afternoon at Wembley. This was not the first time that had happened to Spurs either. In fact, after all of their Champions League group stage matches this season they were less than convincing in favourable fixtures or were defeated by other top-six sides, as you can see from the table below. With the competition now off the calendar until February, we may not see so many below-par performances from them, but of course, the Premier League games will be coming thick and fast too.

Secondly, as a result of that trip to Spain, both Son Heung-min (£8.5m) and Christian Eriksen (£9.3m) were absent from the starting line-up. That meant Kane had to drop deep and wide to make up for the lack of creativity. Erik Lamela (£6.2m), Dele Alli (£8.9m) and Lucas Moura (£7.0m) were the three chosen to play in attacking midfield behind Kane. None of them could provide service for the forward with no Spurs player creating more than the two chances each recorded by Danny Rose (£5.8m) and Moussa Sissoko (£4.9m). Lamela was by far the biggest threat with seven efforts, four in the box and two on target but failed to convert, now six Gameweeks without an attacking return. However, he still had five more goal attempts than any of his colleagues.

Finally, Sean Dyche lined up his Burnley side in a very organised and compact fashion, deploying a 4-5-1 formation. The Clarets stifled what little cohesion Spurs showed and did not look much like the whipping boys we have seen in recent weeks. In the four matches prior to Gameweek 17, Burnley had allowed an average of 11.5 shots in the penalty box per game but conceded just 10 against Spurs. Furthermore, during that period they had been shipping an average of 13 open play goal attempts per match but allowed just nine on Saturday afternoon. It is hard to decide whether that was a result of Dyche’s shrewd tactics or Spurs’ European fatigue. In all likelihood, it was probably a combination of both.

“We thought it was going to be that type of game from our point of view. We came down here with a solid formation, with a change of shape. That’s not easy, but we’ve worked on it all week because I felt it was appropriate. I’m open-minded in that respect and I’ve thought about it many times, but I didn’t want to do it in a three-game week. But there’s been good signs now in four of the last five games. There’s a resilience again and the details are getting more clear-minded. We’re still a little bit away from taking that balance into the attacking side, but we aren’t playing teams like this every week. Of course, we need results, but a lot of the game is about mentality.” – Sean Dyche

The 235,000+ Fantasy managers who signed Son for this match were left disappointed by the fact that he was absent from the starting line-up for the first time Gameweek 12. His run of consecutive starts had run for four Gameweeks, his longest streak of the campaign. That had led many to believe that he would remain a permanent fixture in the first XI during December, but this was proof that he remains a benchable option in Pochettino’s mind. However, the 75 minutes of rest may be in Son’s favour as it does increase his chances of starting Gameweek 18. We also still believe that his expected absence in January for the Asian Cup will see him play more minutes over Christmas than those in competition for his place.

The introduction of Eriksen in the second half improved things for Spurs and it was indeed the Danish international who smashed in the winning stoppage-time goal. The fact that Pochettino has not started him since Gameweek 15 has clearly been with the intention of keeping him fresh. So Eriksen should feature a lot more over Christmas now, especially with further injuries in midfield.

It was revealed on Sunday morning that Eric Dier (£4.8m) will be out until at least the new year after having surgery for appendicitis.

“Eric Dier has undergone surgery to remove his appendix. The England international midfielder was diagnosed with appendicitis after contacting our medical staff due to acute Abdominal pain. He received immediate treatment to assess and then remove the appendix. He will now undergo a period of recovery before commencing rehabilitation and it is expected he will return to training with the squad in January.” – Spurs press release

Kieran Trippier (£6.1m) came back from injury to play all 90 minutes and keep a second successive league clean sheet at Wembley. However, the Spurs’ defence was still not at its usual full strength. Juan Foyth (£5.0m) did not come through his fitness doubt and Jan Vertonghen (£5.9m) was left out of the match squad with a thigh injury. That meant Toby Alderweireld (£5.9m) was paired with Ben Davies (£5.6m) at centre-back and Rose had to play 90 minutes just days after doing so in Barcelona.

In midfield, there was a full Premier League debut for Oliver Skipp (£4.5m). He managed 75 minutes before being replaced by Son and rarely put a foot wrong. With further injuries in his position, we could see a lot more of him over the Christmas period, especially as Pochettino seems so fond of him.

“Fantastic, fantastic, I think he played like a 30-year-old man. So relaxed, trying to play forward and trying to give the team what the team needs, plenty of energy, full energy, I am so proud of him. I think everyone is proud of him. He is only 18-years-old and I think it was fantastic. Now I think it is going to be easy for him because always the debut you are nervous. I remember when it was my first game and I said to him ‘you look so relaxed. When I was 17, going to play I was so nervous’. I said ‘that is the difference between a player going to be a top player and a player who was going to be a normal player like me’. He in the last few months, of course in the USA in pre-season he shows that he can cope with the pressure to play in the first team and it was only about time and the possibility to give the opportunity. We are so happy.” – Mauricio Pochettino

The forgotten man Fernando Llorente‘s (£5.6m) made his first league appearance since Gameweek 9. In total, he has played just 21 minutes in the top flight this season, his introduction against Burnley out of desperation more than anything else.

While Burnley showed a slight improvement in defence, they remain anaemic going forward. The Clarets failed to register a single shot on target against Spurs, which is the third time they’ve done that this season. Remarkably, no other team in the league has achieved that feat more than once in 2018/19, cementing Burnley’s place as the division’s worst goal-scoring side. That boosts the clean sheet potential of Arsenal, Everton, West Ham and Huddersfield in the next four Gameweeks.

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Rose, Davies, Alderweireld, Trippier; Skipp (Son 75′), Sissoko; Moura (Eriksen 65′), Alli, Lamela (Llorente 82′); Kane.

Burnley XI (5-4-1): Hart; Taylor, Mee, Tarkowski, Long, Bardsley; Brady (Hendrick 90+2′), Cork, Westwood, Lennon (Vokes 90+3′); Barnes (Wood 80′).

    Is Kola expected to play the next game?

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      We don’t know and would only be guessing

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      After the shambolic defending today a half-fit Kola would be an improvement

      Emery: "He [Bellerin] has one small injury but I think he will be some weeks off. Sokratis is coming back, as are Mustafi and Kolasinac."

      Emery is the source.. So looking good

        This is from the arsenal forums.. Not the twitter feed here

        Let's hope so. Already pulled trigger on TAA to Luiz so banking on this

      3. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        And tbh.. Koscielny doesn't look ready to play at all. Monreal is needed as cover or to Play at cb.. If fit Kolasinac should start. And the signs are good. Hopefully a shift back to LWB and some attacking returns too

    Can make a change from Auba (343) to Hazard (352) free. Worth it?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Yeah.

    2. Amey

      Yep

      Yep i am doing it for sterling

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        That's a slightly odd move.

        1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          How?City likely to score most goals this gw and sterling likely to start?

  6. Gooner Kebab
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Have the wheels fallen of the Kane/Auba bandwagon?

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      No

      They still have great fixtures and will bang the goals in

      1. Gooner Kebab
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I reckon Kane/Hazard will pick up.

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      No. Just need a tire change.

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA

      Like the flintstone’s car now

    4. Rash
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I think so

    5. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      One is ok.But having both has flopped

    6. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Giving auba one more week.. If he disappoints il get hazard instead with 2 Fts.. Kane can stay until his good fixtures run out

  7. Amey

    5 years, 3 months ago

    Hello Guy's
    Kindly suggest me what should be the transfers ??

        Always helpful.
        Will wait till midweek natches to avoid any injured players.
        Ings+F Anderson allows me to upgrade Dunk to Digne next gw too.

        Thinking behind this possibility is that after few gws will get Richa back instead of Siggy.

    Salah > Sterling for next week? Thinking Salah May be rested for either Wolves or Newcastle so surely Sterling is the way to go?

    1. Epic Fail

      If you think he's gonna be rested then yeah.

        Must just have corrected itself again. Had gone back to that scoreline for a short time. Lol.

  10. Deece
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on KDB? Already own Sane but want a city double up. Have 2FT but getting sterling would mean sacrificing Kane or Auba.

    A) find a way to get Sterling
    B) Alonso + Rich -> KDB + Clyne

    B would leave me with 5 big hitters: Kane / Auba / Haz / Sané / KDB

    1. Tsparkes10

          Hindsight would be great. I bet you didn't leave Declan on the bench yesterday 🙁

    Got suckered into buying premium forwards.. Kane & auba. Both not delivering, think over the next few game weeks I'll get rid and pump money into midfield.

    1. GreennRed

      Took a deflection on the way to Big Shaq

    2. La Roja

      Because it wasn’t an assist

      Not much service in the first half, then missed a few sitters once the ball starting falling for him. Not inspiring.

      • 5 Years

      He looked OK. Not awful, had a few chances and got in decent positions. You wouldn't be rushing to get him in though if you watched it.

      Utd's best team is, IMO:

      De Gea
      Valencia Bailly Smalling Shaw
      Herrera Pogba Fred
      Sanchez Rashford Martial

      Mobile, athletic and can press high up the pitch. If they want to play defensive football then they can switch to the slow line up of:

      Romero
      Darmian Jones Lindelof Rojo Young
      Mata Matic Fellaini Lingard
      Lukaku

      At the end of the season, Auba will be on c20 goals I suspect. On that basis, the more games that go by without him scoring, the greater the probability he will next time. It’s why I kept Hazard and Salah, which paid off last week and this week massively.

        well he can blank vs burnley and score those goals too.If u keep him if he blanks vs burnley by that logic?

            Of course he could you are right, what I’m trying to say though is every week that he misses, he is more likely to score next week in a way. Not guaranteed, but he has less games left to reach his end target so more points per game needed if you believe he will end the season as one of the top scoring forwards. I’m not saying it’s guaranteed, but this is one of the dangers of chasing points and dropping players when they hit a slump. When you check the scores between players in similar positions at the enemy of the season then usually, bar a few outliers, they are relatively close together. So if one has a good patch, it often means a slump wil, follow and vice versa. For example, Salah last week and this week. Although unpredictable you can easily jump too soon. Hope that makes more sense?

              It really depends on how he plays. If I still think he is a top scoring forward, then I will probably keep him. In many ways, the more others lose faith in him, the sweeter the reward will be when it inevitably comes. But I appreciate this could become a very silly strategy and justification for keeping someone who doesn’t ever score!! It’s all down to where I think he will end up at the end of the season, in Aubameyangs case, I think he will be a top five striker.

              I get where u are coming from but auba has been a really weird fpl asset from gw1

              1. GoonerSteve
                • 14 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Yeah I know what you mean. I preferred Aguero earlier in for his consistency. Might be a better option soon

              2. GoonerSteve
                • 14 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                But also think that week Aubameyang explodes could be massive for anyone who has him. Many will sell now.

                  • 14 Years
                  5 years, 3 months ago

                  Similar logic drove me to captain Hazard this week. Seemed under the radar as a captain choice.

              Sorry for the elaborate explanation, looking back you clearly understood my point! I didn’t read your comment properly. Doh

    5. The Head-Ake
      • 7 Years

      I'd save that one FT and use other in case TAA doesn't recover.

  19. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Best option long term?

    A) Kane + Ings (343)
    B) Auba + Richarlison (352)

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years

      No

    2. JJeyy
      • 8 Years

    3. Big_Andy_GAWA

    Bellerin > 5.5m (max)

    A) Digne

    Hamer / Fab
    Alonso VVD Bednarek Laporte AWB
    Sane Anderson Rich Brooks Hojbjerg
    Kane Wilson Auba

    1 FT, 1.6 ITB. Tempted to go Brooks -> Pereyra or could do Brooks/Wilson -> Shaqiri/Ings for a -4. Thoughts?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years

      I was impressed by Pereyra yesterday. Pts will come

      Depends who you spend the cash on.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Probably on Sane and Fanderson/Son

    4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

      Keeping over aubs .Everton might be a open game and want to cap him vs bournemouth and wolves as not many assets are nailed in that 2 game period as chelsea and city both have 2 away matches

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Is he nailed? Is he captain material? Very difficult to answer. It might be do or die during Christmas...

      Liverpool are some side, lads. Still fancy City to pip them, but I think it's gonna be very exciting run-up indeed...!!! 😀

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years

        That last minute goal against Everton is a sign of a champion

      2. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Liverpool can't get carried away after today, they need to be beating mid table teams to keep the momentum going.

        Still feel City are too strong but you never know 🙂

        Why?

      3. MTPockets
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Not everyone checks price change sites

          1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            True ings was a decent asset under hughes so likely to be a bargain noww with southamp in confidence

            1. MTPockets
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Yep could be, just don't have anyone I want to sell for him yet, maybe after MCI/che

            Probably not from folk buying him. His flag got removed so his nti/nto would be adjusted.

          Any suggestions?
          Should I save?
          Should I bring in Salah/Mane?
          Should I strengthen my defence?

          Martial & Lacazette to Hazard & Wilson for free. Need to do it tonight as Hazard looks like rising.

              Hazard won't rise if he's injured again.

                Reckon he will most players just bring in the week's top scorers. A yellow flag won't matter tonight
