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

Phew.

Steele - amazing on the ball, but hilariously crap in goal - flaps at everything, probably would have won 4-0 if we had a better keeper.

Nothing can be certain except death, taxes and @Mustafa II criticising Steele.

 

[TottonSeagull]

You can't resist, can you?

To be fair, he has a point on the second goal. He had to come out and catch or punch. The guy was almost in the goal line when he headed it!

Great first half performance. Decent second half performance.

Milner exceptional in the first half. Welbeck ditto - shame not to score.

Pedro quality for as long as he was on. Best penalty taker ever.

Hinsh immense for his age. A new first teamer - out of nowhere.

Van Hecke - getting better and better.

Steele - amazing on the ball, but hilariously crap in goal - flaps at everything, probably would have won 4-0 if we had a better keeper.

Not sure what you are blaming Steele for. The ten men in front if him lost their legs and their heads in the last 10 mins.

Glad I got Prime working after early gremlins !!

 

[The Grockle]

Disappointing to concede two when we dominated for 80 minutes but I don't think they'll be many more entertaining games this season in the PL. Spurs finished very strongly but thought we defended very well.

Also great to see Pervis back but I thought our starting 11 looked very decent, just shows that even with a depleted squad we still have a lot of quality.

Agree. Yes Steele great on ball, but this keeper rotation needs to stop, Bart the better keeper.

Very strange view - he didn't flap at anything tonight, he took every ball he came for.

Could be criticised for not coming for their second goal, but that was about the only thing he did wrong tonight - apart from a few wayward kicks, ironically.

Because he never gets near anything. It's hilarious (only because we won, otherwise I'd be fuming)

 

[Javeaseagull]

Lost my stream just after half-time. Funny enough I was quite glad to just listen to the wireless! This is doing my blood pressure no good at all.

No, he just doesn't like him, whether he makes saves or not. Anyway, who cares? What a match and what a result - totally against my wildest expectations.

 

[Littlemo]

MacA and Caicedo did it for 95 minutes plus.

Whilst tonight RDZ cleverly sent out Milner, Welbeck as men possessed, to build a lead.

As long as they weren’t playing Everton or Nottingham Forest.

Look they left us and they aren’t coming back, we need to support the players who are on the pitch now, not harking back to them every time something goes a bit wrong.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Overall, very happy with that. Should have been 6-0 at halftime but I'll take 4-2. Luckily the only score on offer.

 

[Jackthelad]

Pedro is the man! The best penalty-taker I've ever seen. Fantastic result!

Shhh....he'll start another poll if you're not careful.

 

[tedebear]

Got my blood pressure up the last 20 mins or so there…Spurs didn’t stop and we started to look shakey…Superb first 80 mins though so impressive from what I nearly consider our first team now given we see them so often…the actual starters have to fight for their spots back!! What a place to be!!

 

[Mustafa II]

He flapped about at all four of their goals, if we're including the two that were disallowed. He never got near the Son and Richarlison efforts that went wide/hit the post as well.

He's just a shockingly shite keeper... yet he's WORLD CLASS on the ball. It's one of the most bizarre things in football IMO.

Aside from his shot stopping, he had a decent game today! Could have had 2 or 3 assists if Pedro was more clinical.

 

[maltaseagull]

Positives.
3 more points.
We have a fit full back.
We found Milner's best position in this team.
Welbeck fit and brilliant.
Pedro top top signing.
Moder looks fit enough to start.
More ... Gross, JPVH, Hinshelwood, Gilmour, Igor.
Transfer window MIGHT strengthen the squad.
Negatives:
Dunk banned and not at his best tonight.
Yet another game without a clean sheet.

 

[Mancgull]

Defensively we looked so weak in that last 15/ 20 minutes.
However, handy when you get 4-0 up.

Still, we had a SHITE keeper, though...
