I was much more pissed about Mourinhos post-match performance than the actual game. United actually was decent in the first half and should have had the lead (Lukaku and Matic missed sitters). They showed some heart and passion for a change, I was okay with that. The loss was down to Pochettino making adjustments at the half and then a three minute blitz where Kane showed his class and Herrera got exposed at CB. Spurs fully deserved the win, but the result was a bit harsh on United I felt. They certainly weren't outclassed like the result would suggest.
They should beat Burnley, yes, but I also wouldn't be surprised if they half-arsed it again. They always do under Mourinho against weaker teams.
