[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Tottenham Hotspur *** Official Match Thread ***

[Coldeanseagull]

I'm very, very nervous. We thoroughly deserve the lead, but it's that little niggle at the back of my mind telling me we need to put it to bed or risk them coming back into it.

 

[Wellesley]

Potter IN.. Fantastic, always new the boy would come good.

I did keep telling you.

 

[Albion in the north]

Great half of football. Commentators saying how bad Spuds have played but in truth we havent let them play. Harried them all over the pitch. Alli Mac is quite good.

 

[Algernon]

If it stays this way there's going to be a point in this game where someone is going to have to step up and take one for the team.
I hope they do.
Keep it up lads, no slacking now.

Need to be focused from the start of the 2nd half, don't want to concede an early 2nd half goal

One thing to be wary of, Spurs will have better moments in the next half. They’re too good a team to create nothing in 90 mins.

I’ll be shocked if 1 is enough. Need a second.

Is it too cynical to suggest that some of our players are at their best when there's a big name manager in the other dugout that they want to impress? (Guardiola, Bielsa, Mourinho? The good news - it's Klopp next)

Nah, that really only applies to the likes of Biss and he's been excellent all season. Imo it's because there's less fear - nothing to lose so the players relax more. High stakes games v teams around us we seem to bottle

“Spurs aren’t at it, not turned up” according to Sky.

Isn’t this a coincidence. Whenever we play well the other team haven’t turned up. Is there a connection to that possibly?

It's because they're missing Kane #onemanteam

Yves Bissouma’s first half:

94% pass accuracy
6 ball recoveries
4 interception

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

2-0 and I would have been very confident going into second half... right now, bit of a nervous wreck

Nervous, it took me three attempts to write it

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Movement from Macalister has been sensational. Still lacking just that last 10% quality in the final third but really can't complain. Fantastic so far!

 

[LamieRobertson]

Now it’s going to be hide behind the sofa job....ugh those times where you just want the full time whistle now

 

[Eric the meek]

It's absolutely brilliant to see such positive comments on here. Let's hope Mourinho isn't as good as he thinks he is, and can't come up with a plan B that'll work.

 

[AlbionBro]

Just spoken to a Spurs fan he thinks they will score lots of goal in the second half.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

I'm very, very nervous. We thoroughly deserve the lead, but it's that little niggle at the back of my mind telling me we need to put it to bed or risk them coming back into it.

That’s not a little niggle for nothing, that’s inevitable...

Let’s hope we can weather the storm and come through this, god knows we need it, what a massive confidence boost this could be....

 

[A1X]

Please can we not throw it away again this time please?

 

[elwheelio]

Need to be focused from the start of the 2nd half, don't want to concede an early 2nd half goal

This. We have a tendency to be a bit, well, shit in the second half. My strategy would be to not be shit.

 

[London Irish]

Easy team talk at the moment for Potter - it’s all about what Jose does now. I’ll only be nervous if it’s something clever

 

[vagabond]

Just spoken to a Spurs fan he thinks they will score lots of goal in the second half.

Did he think they were going to score lots of goals in the first half?

2-0 and I would have been very confident going into second half... right now, bit of a nervous wreck

This... We need an early goal please
