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

[dadams2k11]

So let me get this straight:-

- Hardly anybody predicted an Albion win.
- Team announced and everyone predicted defeat.
- Again the Albion play well in defeat.

Yet posters are now upset about losing and hurting around for their scapegoat.

Spot on..

I would like to see how Trossard plays in a more central position. Amazingly skilful player but not sure he is strong enough on the wing.

What makes you think he would be strong enough in the middle then?

Great effort lads. It’ll come.

Damned if you do, damned...........

Need to see the goal again but shouldn't Ryan have jumped So bizarre. Tiny little Ryan.

Answer - Yes.

Were some of you guys watching the same game? We have played really well against a team who were the second best in Europe last season. Yes we need to get something from matches like this when we have played so well but this is sooooo much better than last season

Keep the faith

He'd be good in an AMC position behind Connolly and Maupay in a 4-3-1-2.

Good to see Duffy back , and be reminded what a crap passer of the ball he is

Nailed...and it seems Stephens is responsible for everything bad

 

[RM-Taylor]

Not looked through the thread but why on earth has Ryan not attempted to even stop that from Alli? If he’d have even attempted to put his arm up then it wouldn’t have gone in. Very poor from him.

 

[The Fifth Column]

Familiar story, unable to make the most of good approach play, let down in the final third yet again.

 

[TottonSeagull]

Bottom 3 bound after losing narrowly to the current 5th and 6th place teams? Come on, show some perspective.

It’s not about today, it’s losing points to Sheffield Utd, Burnley, Southampton, Villa.........just the same old story. You’ll be happy that we played well again but once again get no points. Happy Boxing Day!

 

[vagabond]

Disappointing result after our start for sure, and Aaron’s miss to make it 2-0 reminds us how fine the margins are

However this is away to a Spurs guys. Champions League finalists, looking good for top 4 right now. There is no shame in losing.

Bournemouth looking like a massive game now.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Thought Spurs were crap, yet they still won.

Same old

Annoying isn't it. The knives were sharpened well before the game

 

[Icy Gull]

Are people REALLY complaining about that performance? Just remember how we played when we lost 1-0 last season. MASSIVELY Team Potter still for me

 

[Birdie Boy]

Ali should have had at least a yellow and Winks should have gone. No surprise that Mike Dean is the var ref.

Yes and I see we all but matched them today. And let’s be honest before kick off they were only 6 points above us...

 

[AmexRuislip]

They have game changers to come off the bench, we don't.
No point in fantasising, we need to take our chances.
If only Connollys header had gone in!
