The Athletic

Hello, my name's Danny Kelly, and this is The View from the Lane. Welcome

if you're new. Welcome back if you're a regular listener. We're very glad to have you along for the ride.

We are, of course, the Athletics' Topham Hot Spurr podcast. More than that, it's the best Spurs

podcasts in the world I've been told twice

in recent times by close relatives. On the show today, I'm delighted to say we're joined by

Athletics Charlie Echolshare and James Moore as well. James is among many of you listen to our voices,

no matter how keen you are on Spurs, will not have seen the game. James didn't see the game

because of the way the TV contracts ludicrously decide to go up the road and show the game from Preston. So a brief,

a match report, I'll start, Charlie. I know you saw the game as well. I mean, it was more of the same,

really. Spurs put out a mix and match team, which in the end had seven definite starters in it.

They had to bring on the big guns to see themselves over the line. They played against a very poor Burnley side and created more chances than they have been doing, but it still wasn't an avalanche of chances. Romero looks good at the back. He seems to like playing football. That may be knocked out of him in the weeks to come, who knows, and he certainly doesn't mind looking for a row.

What else did you see, Charlie? Yeah, I mean, it was until the goal, it was pretty dreary, wasn't it? There weren't a huge amount of chances. I mean, yeah, it was more of the same, as you say. I think I talked about my piece from the weekend's game, about every game feeling like an arm wrestle at the moment that could go either way and this

sort of continued that pattern uh talked about my piece from the weekend's game about every game feeling like an arm wrestler

at the moment that could go either way and this sort of continued that pattern I think it's 11

games now under no spurs have played premier league opposition and they haven't won by more than a

goal in any of them all their victories have been by one goal margin this was another one I thought

they were the better team Bernie didn't really offer it until Bernie went behind started launching it, they didn't really offer a lot. Yeah, I agree with you on who played well. I thought Sanchez also did a good job. You know, that wood and Barnes is a bit of an acid test for someone who's looked a little bit flaky physically before. Kane, I mean, I think I was in the minority, but I don't feel like the, his season

kicking off is too far away, just in the sense that he scored against Newcastle, against

West Ham, I know he had a really quiet second half, but in the first half, he had that good

headed effort, very neat, he played a pass through to son that was quite amazing

could have been an assist yesterday his pass for the cello was really really good really well disguised
