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

Are we being whooshed here?

You can have three occasions during the match to bring on subs - with an additional 'free' opportunity at half-time. So, in effect, half-time 'doesn't count' as an occasion during the match. It's not 'four' opportunities - because if you don't make a change at half-time you can't then use four more occasions, only three.

I think.

Yeah that’s right. I was thinking we were being whooshed as well

 

[Motogull]

Blimey, what a day.

Did I imagine Solanke being called up for England this week? He's not international class.

Nice to shut those tossers up.

Not deliberately, no.

I think it's 3 opportunities max, even if one of them is at half time. But even if you also get 1 at half time, that's not what changes it from 3 subs to 5, that's the case anyway.

PS - you do get free subs after full time, and at half time during extra time.

You are allowed 3 substitution windows - that is where you stop the game to make a sub. Half time isn’t counted as one of those windows because the game isn’t being stopped. So if you include half time, you can bring on players upto 4 times.

That doesn’t change the number of subs, you are only allowed 5 across all the windows. That’s only changed if one is a concussion sub.

MOTD2 coming up.

I expect Chapman will have the vaseline out for a zzzzz “Jonny Evans masterclass”.

Should play our game first, the most exciting.

Ok thanks. I must be Ted Lasso too.

But even without half-time, you can still make 5 subs.

We’re on first on MOTD2.

I wonder if @Han Solo is watching...

Kleenex to hand

 

[Bodian]

Only just realised we played to the 'wrong' ends. Presumably Spurs' choice.

Also, in all the scaring the cat / Mrs Bodian with the winner - don't think I appreciated just how good Welbeck's header was. Brilliant.

"Brighton were 1 yard off in the 1st half, Tottenham were 5 off it in the 2nd." - Joe Hart.

Plenty of praise for Welbeck and the impact that Estupinan made when he came on.

Potter talked about the need for "shutting out the ego" but "showing some passion" for the fans in the post-match press conference.

"Getting angry, getting upset is easy...you can't throw your team under the bus."

"When you're winning you're this emotionally intelligent person, and when you're losing, you're angry."

 

[Han Solo]

Nope, don't watch any punditry unless I randomy fall over it.

No worries, I've saved you the effort.

 

[Triggaaar]

No mention of the foul on Rutter

 

[Hugo Rune]

What's Potter up to these days?

On March of the Day 2 explaining how we turned this match around and reduced Ange to an apologetic wreck it would seem.

You miss out on the tactical insight of Micah Richards and Tim Sherwood. Lucky.

 

[Insel affe]

Damn, hated the first half
thoroughly enjoyed the second, we did Pascal proud.

 

[Han Solo]

No worries, I've saved you the effort.

Yeah I mean... nothing is less interesting than hearing the opinions of a manager or player in between clubs. Possibly only worse hearing people like Neville, Keane, Carragher, Shearer and others who don't understand football well enough to work at the highest level. I'm thinking "MOTD" is filled with both those kind of people and that there's nothing to learn from watching it.

Brilliant! Was that intended? So nice to see him in the seats behind the dugout today.

 

[Eeyore]

I think Graham Potter for a moment began to talk like he was the Albion manager and then realised.
