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

[RandyWanger]

Bong being accused of punching Son? That’ll be one the FA look at and hand out a ban. Should have kicked him in the nuts.

Creating hardly anything going forward, looking bleak

Let's be fair, Madrid got dominated here, so i'm not really that annoyed.

Let’s be fair Spurs never got out of first gear tonight.

Poor again, just not up to this level.

 

[the right footed denilson]

It's called 'Defence against Attack' - never anything positive in it for defence when applied to a real match.

I don't get the thinking here.
Surely this won't be the tactic at home to Burnley and Watford. So why bother doing this at all? Does anyone actually think we'd get more points against the bigger teams playing like this rather than just ****ing going for it?

 

[Saunders]

Shame but they are a class team and we didnt expect any more than that. Still hoping for our upset game.

 

[Marxo]

We'll be OK, no doubt!

 

[brightn'ove]

Oh well

I would like to never see schelotto play for Brighton again, i feel like anything he does well is a complete fluke and surprises even him.

These aren’t the games we need points from.

 

[sdmartin1]

Lets be realistic, no on was having us down for any points tonight and we rested some of our starting 11 for a large majority of the game. Now we have to focus on Saturday which obviously won't be easy whatsoever given Burnley's form however surely should be a game which points are obtainable from.

 

[Shooting Star]

Not good enough from Hemed. Not clinical enough at this level

We can't just rely on the odd chance each game to score. Can't have a 100% perfect striker. We need to be providing more chances for whoever is leading the line and play a bit more positively.

 

[RandyWanger]

Both goals conceded from silly fouls. Dissapline and defending set pieces is letting us down, if we can’t score, we can’t keep giving up goals like this.

Yes, we will. It's Hughton's tactic, problem is, it worked in the championship but not in the Prem. We really need a plan B.

‘Going for it’ gets you beat by a cricket score against the big boys. We know from experience just how ****ing important goal difference is.

 

[maltaseagull]

Fearing the worst now, can't stop giving away silly goals and not creating anything for ourselves. Need to see some sort of improvement on Saturday

Something is seriously wrong!!!!!
I actually agree with you.

 

[jabba]

Amazingly still in 13th but only 3 points (and goal difference) from 2nd bottom. Hope we can find way back to winning ways at home, we need some good results to stop the slide and build confidence.

Disagree. There's a reason these teams don't get out of first gear - because they're stifled and run out of ideas. Took a fluke goal to make it comfortable for them.

 

[Weststander]

Another hard fought zero points.

On to the tests that will tell us the fate of club next May.

It's not as important as points.

 

[Megazone]

3 signings in January and all will be forgotten.

 

[Ernest]

The not signing a decent striker is now having an effect as is Knockaert not producing as is Izquierdo being a waste of money as is the defence suddenly forgetting how to defend, one would be bad but all of them happening makes these results inevitable now

Yeah let's go back to the championship and ask TB to fund the losses every year.
