Frustrating, but up against a very determined Spurs team, well organised by a first class coach.
We were in it til the end. Dunk was superb.
Reality check that top 6 is out of our reach.
Keep the Faith.

Also the last 2 subs were far too late!

It's unfair on the fan TBH, the rail strike, the A27 debacle (not too sure what was going on).
Players should step up, no excuses for not scoring tonight.

We were not fantastic, but we've played far worse. Just a lack of ideas for creating the shooting opportunity.

This is not the game I watched. We outplayed a champions league quality side today.

Can I have some of what you are smoking? Misplaced passes galore, close to giving it away at the back. Too many players off it. Not even testing Lloris second half- yeah we outplayed them alright

I think after some of our recent performances we expected more of the same. Conte knew how to contain us and stuck to his game plan. Bit of a A wake up call.

Exactly . . . It was opportunistic too.
Not sure what people expect sometimes. Not sure they know what to either.
Kane is still an odious cheat, I still hate tottingham and Conte just makes me think of Berlusconi.

tbh there'll be a lot of top six teams who lose by the odd goal to others around them. even city lost to this spurs side once or twice

A decent performance overall, it was just one bit of class in front of goal which settled it. A very good tactical set up from Conte and their press was tireless; their low block was impenetrable.
Our all-round play was fine; I’m not sure we were much worse today than against Liverpool, the difference being Højbjerg, who was absolutely everywhere today, compared to the very lacklustre Liverpool midfield.
We just badly lacked a cutting edge today. Too many players passed the ball (and, indeed, the buck) when they should’ve at least tested the keeper. Caicedo, Welbeck and Lallana when he came on were definitely guilty of this.
I thought Dunk was tremendous (one moment dozing off and getting rolled by Kane aside) and was my Albion MOTM. Trossard unfortunately for us had a real off day, as did MacAllister and Caicedo. Welbeck was his usual self - his usual never-looking-like-scoring self.
After scoring three last week at Anfield, it’s hard to be too critical about our attacking prowess, but today was one of those not looking like scoring days.

To say we were fantastic today , is to see us as “plucky little Brighton”
Haven’t we moved on from that?
(That said, it wasn’t a terrible performance)

Played well, as usual. Deserved a point in all fairness.

I thought it was a decent performance. March our best player again. Spurs came to defend.

Agree with all this. One of those games. On another day that game is a 0-0 or 1-0 us. Just not our day - spurs defended excellently with the low block but we defended very well too. Cancelled each other out almost. At the end of the day we've just performed outstandingly at Anfield and scored 3, and gone toe to toe with spurs in a game that could've gone either way. Can't complain eh

Atmosphere poor today in North Stand, please stop that awful RDZ song, it's a shocker.

Positives- we were still in the game at the end. Mitoma lively again. Dunk was excellent at the back.

Liverpool are letting in goals for fun this season, after failing to reinvigorate an old CM in the summer.
Caiceo, Trossard, Mac Allister, March, Gross and Welbeck not really turning up, is a sh@t show.
All the winning managers just now are flooding the midfield, it works, always had. I’d love to see RDZ do this from the next game, not experimenting for a while making us a regulation point or three.
I don't think it was as bad as some seem to think... some decent football from time to time and a few chances created. But when Solly, Tross and Gross all have off-days at the same time (while Welbeck has no confidence in the penalty area)... Brighton are just not going to score.
