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

[chickens]

Absolute pish. We constantly gave the ball away, we hardly had any chances to speak of and were basically dreadful. Spurs taking their chances was far from what made the difference.

That said we really turned things around, our passing as a bit better second half and we took our chances as well. Someone said it was a game of two teams that couldn’t defend and that’s quite accurate.

The only difference is we took our chances in the second half. If we’d done that in the first half, we’d have been level going in at half time.

We barely had chances to take first half.

I thought you could only make subs 3 times in a game?

Subs at halftime don't count to that total.

 

[Mancgull]

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

yep, rope a dope - some of them must have been feeling that round-trip to Hungary

None of their starting 11 started in mid week.

Walk in the park

The other difference is that they didn't really have many chances of their own second half. Couple of wild over the bar shots - and one comfortable for Bart (okay - so was the one he let in - but you know what I mean).

Halftime sub doesn’t count I think

 

[Coldeanseagull]

They kept the ball away from Verbruggen....that helped!
Yes I'm joking, I don't constantly slag off our players for the sake of it. he made an error, all the players will do so during the season.
A very satisfactory second half

I think you’ll find different if you watch the highlights later.

It really wasn’t.

Humble pie being eaten here in Shoreham. I really thought at half time it was game over but full credit to the lads to turn the game around. Fantastic effort. Congrats all.

 

[Coxovi]

That was a brilliant watch. Still work to do, but this is going to be fun.

I just watched the f***ing match

I was thinking at half-time "that long trip to Budapest and back on Thursday could make the Totts vulnerable" Didn't expect that though! "UNBELIEVABLE, JEFF!!!!!"

Mitoma was brilliant today, in both halves. I was doubtful of Rutter prior to this match but he had an excellent game today. Minteh impressed me too!

There is a good player in Minteh - it's just going to take time. Pleased for him.

Welbeck missed a sitter first half.
I thought Minteh was superb in the second half. Well taken goal and then put in the type of shift that helped win us the game.
Amazed how Spurs just folded but we increased the intensity massively.
One of the most exciting games ever at the Amex.
Great to get the three points before the International break and the confidence this gives us is a tonic for players and fans.

Depends which ones they choose. I can't believe highlights nowadays - sometimes they seem to show a completely different match to the one I watched live!

Good to build a bit more of a buffer for when the Crystal Palace European charge finally gets going

Those Palace U21s are going to be in the team soon

Massive massive credit to Welbz.

Missed chances, head never dropped and rallied the team. Great leader
