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

[mile oak]

Gutted 12 seconds away from a point. Least we deserved. How good was Welbeck today? World class. Long may he continue to lead the attack.

 

[dazzer6666]

His passing was atrocious. He was too tight to his man. He got outpaced. He was caught out of position. He was really poor.

[Uh_huh_him]

Ref did give more decisions to the home team. However, quite rightly gave us a penalty. It was nothing like last year. The reason we lost was not down to a ref or lino. Game could have gone either way. When you play like we do it will happen sometimes.

Disagree.

When we were shit and expected to lose by 2 or 3 to the big teams, the referee bias was annoying but didn't affect the outcome.

Last season spurs beat us 2-1 in a game that we thrashed them in
Today we lost 2-1 in a game of the finest margins.
However today they had the lion's share of marginal and not so marginal decisions.

Not saying we should have won today, but definitely don't think we deserved to lose.
The small margins helped Spurs a lot today.

 

[Eric the meek]

All opinion… in the stand too and imo we were definitely worth a deserved point

I didn't even watch the game, and I'm convinced we were worth a point, if not three.

 

[London Irish]

We were not only worth a point but for a bit more composure from Fati we would have got all three

 

[Beach Hut]

were loose

Annoyingly very correct, Dear Friend

To say that was undeserved beggars belief, f***ing robbing bastards Spurs

 

[Justice]

Why are we losing so many away from home this season? Has to be a mentality issue

More a midfield issue

 

[hampshirebrightonboy]

i think if today is evidence of anything it is that anyone willing to swap mitoma for fati and a bit of cash needs their head checked

Quite. One of the positives from today was not only having Mitoma back but looking sharp as well. Shame he didn’t pass to Welbeck though instead of shooting.

 

[PascalGroß Tips]

Did anyone see Gross go pretty much straight down the tunnel at FT? He looked pretty unhappy with something. Understandable with the way the game ended but surprised he didn’t come over. Wondered if it was something else going on.

When the referee inexplicably doesn't send one of their players off in the first half how can you say that the referee did not cost us the game!?

 

[Originunknown]

Spurs were poor, ref gave them every little thing but we weren't good enough in the final 3rd..

Shite happens, move on…..

But it wasn't inexplicable really. If you're referring to Maddison, then pretty much no PL ref is going to send a player off for that. And as for Romero, I thought he could have been booked twice - but it's all subjective.

It has been specifically called.out as something they should clamp down on. The whole blue card thing as well. Dunk the other month....he let him get away with it because of who he is and who he plays for. We were cheated out of about 60 mins with a man advantage because the referee did not apply the laws of the game correctly.

There was no cheating. There could have been a few more yellow cards but certainly didn’t see any reds. We lost because we could only score from a penalty.

And that bit explains it. Therefore not inexplicable.

Pretty certain the linesman didn't give one offside against Tottenham in the first half, relying on the fact that if they scored it would go to VAR. In the second half he was quite happy to get the flag up. Not saying we weren't offside but Tottenham were on numerous occasions but play continued.

Spurs were the better side.
