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

As for my own assessment, glanced on here at half-time expecting soaking wet sheets and naturally that was the case.

We weren’t great (but nowhere near as bad as the usual suspects were making out) - but the game was wide open and we had lost the midfield, essentially.

Joe Hart (who knew he’d make such a good pundit?! Some really good insight) summed it up perfectly on MOTD2. We were basically a yard off the whole time, right down to the goalkeeping.

Pervis’s introduction changed the game, no question in my mind. An excellent substitution.

Objective fans could see we had a couple of good chances, but realistically could’ve been a few goals further down.

What we did in the second half was won the mental fight, a fight we were losing heavily with several knockdowns in the first half.

Mitoma was outstanding all game.

I know not to everyone's taste, but the performative wailing and gnashing of teeth is a sight to behold. I found it delicious.

My Spurs mate earlier said they are a glass cannon. Spot on.

Have you been in a covid induced coma?

I didn’t realise the half time rule, as a couple of people politely pointed out. But well done for doing the decent thing by answering a genuine question with sarcasm.

Obviously none of these people should be allowed anywhere near small children or any sharp objects. And watching this is the modern equivalent of that Victorian pastime of going to watch the “antics” of the poor inmates of Bedlam for entertainment. But MAN, such fun. Superb stuff.

Likewise - I've been really impressed by Joe Hart. An ex-player who really does give fascinating insight....unlike probably 90% of them, who seem to have less insight than me!

We were and oddly the same happened in the last game we came back from 2 goals down. Charlton in 2015 if you were wondering.

We were two goals down against Man City and came back to win 3-2 - in May 2021.

Shay Given is also quite good. Maybe it's because goalie thing as they spend most of the game watching the game in front of them and can see the positioning and movement of players.
The other 10 are too involved to see the big picture.

And maybe repeatedly heading a football isn’t great for the little grey cells either

Only about 8,000 of us there and the atmosphere was brilliant
