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

[the right footed denilson]

Don't agree that we are not good enough. We turned over United. Several players just not playing with passion and energy.

We beat UTD. We've one one game in 14 or something!! Might as well have been a 6-0 win at the Etihad- means nothing in the grand scale of things. Our form over the last half dozen games have been very worrying.
Thank **** for the likes of Newcastle.

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?

Exactly this. And when we have had possession, we've given it away so cheaply again. So frustrating.

If we don't score at the South Stand during the West Ham game, I think that will be at least ten hours of football at Falmer without a goal in front of the away end for our lot. You have not been charged for this likely miscalculation

We have to come out now, like Southampton. If we are seen as pushovers at home to anyone it will be a very long season....

If we play like that we’ll be on the end of a thumping. This is Spurs not shit Southampton, big difference. I’m sure we’ll take a few risks but the game plan will not change

 

[the right footed denilson]

Let's get at them this half, from the off. Early goal, see what they're made of.

 

[brakespear]

I think the look on Hughton's face shows that wasn't the plan. He expected more threat on the counter. It's not happening.

I'll agree with that part, certainly counterattacking has not really come off at all.

 

[Mackenzie]

We don’t look remotely like scoring.

A Spurs goal was coming regardless of whether it was a pen or not.

Btw I’m in the WSL with 4 Spurs fans right in front of me. How does this happen?

If they’re taking the piss have them hooked.

I feel like I'm the only person somewhat pleased with this performance. We have been so hard to break down defensively, and we are unlucky to be behind.

If I see the same kind of performance in the second half now we're one nil down, I'll join in with the moaners too... but I'm confident we won't.

You’re not the only person pleased with it , I’m sure CH was too

So two of you

We can't play this way every week showing too much respect to teams. If this is how CH played at Norwich I understand why fans got fed up with him

 

[Weststander]

We basically let them settle and gain confidence. We should have been sent out to utterly annihilate them from the start. Whip in cross after cross, get in their faces. Instead we said 'okay guys, you're under pressure and out of form, so we'll just sit back- you take as long as you want to get yourselves a bit of confidence.'.
Third time is three games we haven't been sent out with the proper mentality.

The in their faces football, with a couple of players giving support to Murray, worked twice against ManU and also Arsenal. Out of the blocks. AT HOME.

CH wins nothing from this today, just a silly award for GD not too damaged. AT HOME.

I’m fed up already

It’s boring . I pay to watch football , not an attack vs defence training session

United are dreadful and play with no pace. Arsenal were similar last season. They really suit us. Spurs and, specifically, Liverpool play with lots of pace and do not suit us.
Apples and oranges.

And we're good at it. When we've done that we've played well. Why do Spurs deserve more respect than United and Arsenal? They don't.
We can't start playing at home the way we do away.

Not fed up but will be if this is the same second half and it stays 1-0. Happy with a draw even if its boring.

I don’t know how counterattacking is the plan when Murray is your striker and none of the midfielders want to step past the halfway line other than Knockeart

Yep, and look at where we are and where Norwich are now. Whinging NSC match thread as usual.

Exactly. We've shown that we can, at home, give the top sides a tough game. I can't believe we set up the way we did that first half at home

 

[brakespear]

I don't want to see a confident Harry Kane, Jake.

 

[NEC-Nijmegen]

Perhaps it's better to skip the first half of any Brighton match in the future.
