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

[the right footed denilson]

We can't give every team a 1 or 2 goal lead before we start to play.

 

[Bladders]

How is it shocking? Team are playing is setup to try and contain Spurs as much as possible and have mostly done so.

I think the idea of a match is both teams try to win .

Obviously you have to defend but this akin to standing the whole team on the line for 90 mins hoping for a draw

Big club decision.

Rubbish. Stone wall penalty

 

[Bridcutt]

I'm actually so ****ing bored watching this

 

[AmexRuislip]

Came from yet another shite piece of defending from Bong, no idea what Murray was trying to achieve.

I'm sure Harry Kane tripped over his hair lip!

CH could have build upon the second half performance against Southampton, in stead he decided to go with the first half squad and playing style.

Shame.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Think we're showing them way too much respect. Disappointing performance so far.

 

[Bladders]

Chris needs to earn his salt now.

Again?

“Right lads , that didn’t work again , so better push up a bit “

Itching to give it. Would he have given it at the over end? No.

Typical Hughton performance.

 

[Icy Gull]

Shame but can’t say a goal wasn’t coming somehow. We haven’t been allowed to play at all. Damage limitation now or go for it and risk a thumping?

 

[Frutos]

Typical Hughton performance.

Typical junior post.

 

[Weststander]

CH, 9 times out of 10, simply sets out teams not to concede against 'better' opposition, with a 10 man defence. That is the THE game plan. When the opposition score, we're f*cked.

In overall terms, it works because we stayed up.

But there are so many games where Brighton aren't in it, making it a totally unenjoyable and pricey half day out.

Shirley football can give a better experience that that?

 

[jcdenton08]

Was a hand ball. Not convinced it was a free-kick though!

It was. There’s one angle where it clearly shows that Bong clips Kane’s ankles together causing him to trip.

Correct all round I’m afraid

 

[wakeytom]

Looked like arm in front of the face to me.

Not his own face though

We’re playing at HOME to a team in the middle of a ‘mini crisis’, low on confidence and with their 3rd choice keeper and we haven’t had a shot?! Shocking performance, we’ve not even defended that well and could be 2/3 down if it wasn’t for Matty and them being wasteful.

Why haven’t we learnt lessons from the last 2 games?

 

[BrickTamland]

Rare to see a team in its second season in the prem being dominated at home, by a team not quite top 4 quality. So little
ambition and attacking threat. (My half time moaning has caused comebacks in the last 2 games)

 

[Arvin]

No point in containment now, needs to be more eagerness pushing up, more runs behind defenders and much hungrier pressing.

Don’t think Spurs deserved that goal, but a very frustrating one to give away.

I can see this spurs side caving if Brighton start to pack on some pressure. There just needs to be the willingness to do so

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Big club decision.

Utter rubbish. Blatant penalty.
