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

[Mike Small]

Well now. GP certainly dodged the question on Neal’s omission. Did something massive happen in the aftermath of the West Brom game?

No Ryan. No Maupay. No Connolly.

Still delighted to see another one of our promising youngsters get a chance, so fingers crossed for Sanchez.

Yep somethings up regarding Maupay or Connelly. If they were injured, it would be mentioned so it’s either a bust up or Covid. If there was no problem Maupay, he would have been on the bench even though he’s been so poor in the past 2 games. We probably won’t find out but hope he’s back, fit and happy for Dyche’s mob.

Manager drops underperforming goalie and puts faith in youth

Manager drops striker after 2 poor performances for reasons unknown (could be personal, could be row, could be anything) and replaces him with a Belgium international who has been our most threatening player this season.

Social media: clueless, disgrace, sack him.

They haven’t even kicked a ball yet ffs.

 

[Mike Small]

People are acting like spurs are world beaters.


They are bang average.


2-0 to them sounds about right.

Kane and Son are a bit better than that.

Definitely a game for AJ.

Even his biggest detractors can't deny the fact that he can win a free kick in the final third.



Tis the only obvious way we're scoring tonight.

 

[Weststander]

It’s going to be a long night on here.

Supplies of snacks and popcorn in?

 

[maresfield seagull]

Anything is possible at the moment
Let’s see where we are at full time ?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Is Swansman online or will the rumour continue?

Clearly GP is on NSC and desperately wants to win the Predict Potter's Picks - So with that in mind Swanny you are Graham Potter and I claim my £5 now stop F*****g about

 

[Farehamseagull]

Well this game is certainly going to be a lot more interesting now than it potentially was going to be!

Maybe Potter is on PPV commission?!

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

30 pages and it hasn't kicked off yet

 

[swindonseagull]

Well in my opinion without Dunk there is no control over the box (especially in the air) . So the only conclusion i can reach is Sanchez is great at controlling the box ,so bye bye Matt.

Sensible comment.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Another dodgy team selection. Think this could be the begging of the end for Potter. Too many players out of position.

How many goals has Tross scored then, compared to Maupay?

I’m not against Maupay being dropped btw, I like the bold selection... I LOVE the Sanchez pick. I’m on the Potter train.

But Maupay not even making the bench as our top scorer. It’s completely natural for there to be questions from the fans.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

I admit Sanchez is a surprise and seems a huge risk... especially as Steele has been ignored too.... but perhaps the 'front three' might work. What's for sure is this is either the moment when GP shuts people up or the wheels start to fall off. I'm hoping for the former.

 

[maresfield seagull]

AL will be subbed on 60 mins
So a 33% chance a striker comes on then

 

[phoenix]

Gotta feel for Walton.

Why ? Hes not match fit. Or do you mean injury. Sanchez is or will be the better goalie.

 

[Weststander]

When was the last time a team played 5-5-0 in the Prem?

CH favoured a 9-0-1

 

[Dick Head]

idiot potter

well we know not to expect

no strikers - bizarre

Is that a haiku?

 

[Swansman]

@%1; your thoughts?

Is GP known for playing no strikers and dropping keepers?

Interesting lineup.

Sometimes over his career he played with no strikers. I thought that phenomenon would kick off some years agk with the invention of the false nine ago almost all managers use strikers in almost all games. But I think Trossard might be playing as essentially a striker tonight.

He did drop some keepers over the years. I would imagine Ryan got some kind of small niggle or something but its possible Potter is impressed with Sanchez. It will be interesting to see anyhow.

 

[mashman156]

Love the pick of Sanchez, and I'm ok with dropping Maupay. No-one should be safe off the back of that second half last week. Surprised not to see Alzate back in, or Welbz or Connolly starting. Expect to try and keep it tight and maybe hit later with subs.
