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

[The Fits]

Teams have been shown the way . Outnumber our midfield. Press high. We'll give you a chance. Score. Sit deep. Deja vu.
Lots of positives but this is going to take some time to get anywhere near the all round level we were at before. Players definitely don't look as organised or composed. Or decisive today- we were better at that last week. No disgrace though, ultimately Kane made the difference. It'll come.

Very frustrating afternoon.

Just one of those days today. Couldn't hit a barn door, but not overly concerned. Still 6th is pretty good after 8 games.

 

[Reddleman]

The difference was a world class striker, it’s as simple as that. Sanchez didn’t have much to do and I felt we were never in too much trouble. Without Kane that finishes 0-0.

Poor

We all talk a lot on here about how we make other teams have a poor day at the office. Spurs did that to us today. Defensively wily. Loaded the box and made it very tough indeed to break through.

Thought we could get something from that game but our tactics were not good enough. We looked lost in the final third. Some of our passing was schoolboy level. Still there’s a reason why Spurs are where they are and they outplayed and outfought us.

But that is quite the problem.

we didn't look like scoring.

Feck sake. I go on holiday in a good mood and we fecking we’ll lose against the poorest of the big six

Get rid of this Italian and bring in a tried and tested English manager like Dyche.

Barber out

That was a classic mid era Potter performance.
Hopefully De Zerbi will push hard for a striker who can score. It’s still the missing piece.

 

[WhingForPresident]

So much for De Zerbi taking 'attacking risks'. Rolled over and let them park the bus and timewaste for an hour. Worst home performance for ages.

Ah well. Hopefully it'll click soon enough.

You gotta admit it started with the rail strike!

 

[Arthritic Toe]

A lot of baffling negativity on here - we were fantastic today. Some people cant see past the score.

 

[Normandy seagull]

Didn’t deserve anything today. Too many off it. Caicedo had a shocker, Mac had not chance up against 3 spurs midfielders. Trossard worst game for ages. Welbeck very frustrating again. March making wrong choices. Why didn’t RBZ bring on Undav- is he that crap?

Felt sorry for those guys on the radio who due to traffic issues arrived 10 mins before the end. Personally would have turned around if I hadn't made it by half time.

Alright, who let Souness in?

Agree. Rubbish goal to lose to but the game showed that the top teams have to give everything to get points off us.

First half we looked like we were overthinking everything because we were trying to play de Zerbi’s football. Second half was much better but no one wanted to shoot.

Even though plenty thought we played badly, I thought Spurs played well to contain us. Dier and Hoijberg had very good games.

 

[Popeye]

Well according to some on here, we might as well have not even showed up. Kane won the game for them as he so often does, and we just could not find the back of the net, it happens. Clear what De Zerbi wants to do, trust the process. Didn't help our cause either that Trossard has his worst game for ages. I think some are being a bit dramatic.

Tthe onus wasn't on them to look like they could score another
