Definitely a performance to forget and hopefully one we can learn from.
Vertonghen, Alderweireld and Foyth all had poor games, I thought. It was probably Alderweirelds worst game of the season, Vertonghen played his part in Burnleys second goal and Foyth had a game to forget, not going to blame him for Burnleys opener though, why on EARTH is he marking Chris Woods!?
Aurier and Rose both had average to poor games too. Not sure what went through Auriers head for the Burnley winner but there was still a lot to do for Burnley once his poor clearance was made. Rose was all over the shop positionally when Burnley were on the attack, slowed down our attacks a lot and put in awful cross after awful cross.
Sissoko probably had his worst game of the season, certainly resorted back to Sissoko of last season. Gave the ball away numerous times, also had his hand in the Burnley winner. It just wasn't the game for him, when teams are willing to sit back and defend, it never is his game. Eriksen also had a poor game, though we could be saying this every week recently (a few goals and assists aside), both of them had a hand in the Burnley winner, just piss poor. He ALWAYS steps it up against Chelsea though so I look forward to everyone praising him again in the week. A tough game for Son too, didn't get time on the ball, didn't get his shots off and seemed less involved than usual.
Kane and Winks for me were the only two players who probably leave that game with any credit (Lloris too perhaps, couldn't do much with either goal and didn't really have much to do besides that, one decent save aside) - Whilst Winks had to do the job of two men, subbing him off was a bad move. He is the only one with the ability to control games from midfield from those we had available and by taking him off, we lost any chance of controlling midfield, just look at the last 15-20 minutes when Burnley were going for it, even at 2-1 late in the game, because we lost any sort of control.
Kane hadn't looked like he'd been away at all. Good touches, great range of passing and took his goal very well, excellent first touch and finish. That'll do his confidence a world of good following so long out, two big games coming up and he's hungry for that Golden Boot.
