Yes, Milner was excellent and we found an effective way to play without 2 out and out wingers... brilliant stuff.

Also nice to see Steele go long and direct now and again, putting Pedro in particular in numerous one on ones , presumably by design.
Did anyone think Pedro lacked a little pace? He was ahead of last defender two or three times but couldn't stay clear. He was great yesterday but I thought he was quicker.

With hopefully a few extra bodies available, either recovered injuries, or new purchases.. or both.

Did wonder that, but perhaps in the second he was simply tiring..he put in a fair old shift. Only times for me when the lack of wingers were an issue was when Milner was the out ball and furthest player forward..he had to check back, whereas Adingra or Mitoma would likely have sped on. Maybe overly critical though as he had such a good game and would have deserved scoring when hitting the post.

I think he's a little fatigued. Does seem to've lost a yard

Yes, I too was surprised to see that he was being overtaken or stopped, feeling that he would not out-run the defender, but then as others have said, he did do an awful lot of running, as he always does, so perhaps we should not be too critical.

What a performance. Was delighted with that.
Have to say Glenn Murray did a great job at fending off questions for 20 minutes that focused purely on how spurs can get back to winning ways and how hard done by they are to be so injury ravaged. Amazon can now go f*** themselves.

I think in his post match interview he implied he was aiming for the bottom left!Hinshelwood did hit his shot straight at the keeper - it just went through him at great speed.
And yet Spurs appealed vociferously for a handball. Ridiculous.
Trouble is - there have been a few red cards for precisely that already this year. Didn't MacAllister get one (may have been reversed on appeal?).
Great night - up there with Newcastle & United away as the best PL games of the season.
Don’t want to start a thread or bounce an old one BUT the exodus after Spurs scored their second was pathetic. When the team really needed support. The trains were fine, most are off work, no school etc. It really is a joke.
The Spurs fans dotted around W1F stayed longer than loads of Albion fans even at 4-0 down.

Fam, top rant Blud! 
Just discovered that target than click on Brighton v Tottenham you need to select "more information" and then you can choose full replay, extended highlights etc
And more than a little weird seeing Steele taking long goal kicks too. Proper old school.
