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

[Yoda]

People going on about and blaming the defence and high line need to wake up and look at our ball retention in this game. It's been non existent

 

[macbeth]

ball is given away and two passes later they’ve scored. unacceptably bad.

 

[willalbion]

But y’know. Only 1 goal in it

 

[raymondo]

Rutter is absolute garbage.

No he's not

 

[Algernon]

I can't understand how a finely tuned athlete can hurt a hamstring kicking the ball.

It appears our defensive training consists of standing near the half way line then turning quickly and full speed sprinting back towards our goal, with a last minute lunge at the conclusion possibly.
I'd say that probably puts strain on your hamstrings if done enough times.

I don't understand how the team that was so great in the first couple of games now look so bad.

 

[BBassic]

Spurs are playing the kind of football I thought we'd be playing

 

[Littlemo]

Jesus Danny

it’s not but it wouldn’t matter so much if they weren’t in behind within five seconds every time it was given away.

i take your point, but again it’s the system. same root cause. ball to a player with incoming pressure, idea being they look for and find the spare man. except there is no spare man. and the defence are so high up the opposition are in behind almost immediately after. dreadful.

Big chance for Danny. Missed it. Great play from Baleba and Mitoma

 

[Mike Small]

I'm not loving what I'm seeing but Spurs do look very good. Doing what Fab wants but with quicker and better players.

 

[Eric the meek]

Great ball from Mitoma.

We didn't look so great. Poor finishing saved us.

 

[Seagull58]

Should have been 1-1

 

[US Seagull]

Oh Danny. The way we've been looking this game, we can't afford to waste those.

 

[Weststander]

Coaches worked us out.

 

[oldboyroy]

Oh Danny, that was a sitter

 

[Hiheidi]

Bloody hell. We are just not clinical in front of goal

 

[GoingUp]

That was on a plate for Minteh.

 

[oldboyroy]

Come on lads
