[Albion] We look such a poorly coached team

I started the thread and will happily take a bit of stick for doing so.

Doesn’t change what I saw at half time however and coming off the back of the Chelsea performance I still have concerns that we looked lost in possession and we were too easy to play in behind. A crazy 15 minutes doesn’t change that.

Second half was much better and I am not sure I can pinpoint what it was though Estupinan helped.

Your thoughts were being echoed all over social media. I just didn't think we were that bad first half, Spurs were just very good.

They looked sharper, nothing to do with our 'high line' IMO. We had two decent chances and were competitive.

This isn't directed at you personally but you represent a good chunk of our support atm who are overly critical. We have a new manager and new players to bed in and this division looks very competitive this year.

Sorry to say but it’s alarming how poorly coached we look:

Defensively we are all over the place. Runners in behind over and over again.

The press is muddled and ineffective

Players don’t seem to know what they are doing when they get the ball, too many touches too few options.

The new manager has had a whole preseason with them and we look shambolic.

He has some serious work to do and quickly.

I’m not overly critical though, I’m usually the one who starts the ‘positives from today’ threads . That fast half though was worryingly poor especially coming off the back of Chelsea as Danny Welbecks comments confirms.

Well the players say they were crap first half, good to hear Milner dished out a rollicking

The only thing shambolic is this massive overaction of a post.

We were not outplayed in the first half and my main tactical criticism was Ferdi’s defensive performance.

It’s always worth keeping your thoughts to yourself until full time as decent coaches like Fabian will react tactically to how the game is panning out.

I find it hard to imagine Milner “rollicking” anyone, TBH

No wonder they were shocked into action, he probably normally just tuts

We were still appalling first half

You'll forgive me for not recalling your previous posts but the post today felt very knee jerky.

This new Brighton team is proving to be a bit hit and miss but we're creating lots of chances and scoring. There's much more to be positive about than negative IMO, it's also naive to think we wont improve.
