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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Poor again, just not up to this level.

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.
