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

[Da Man Clay]

It was because they got Mahrez (sp?) in to replace him, wasn't it?

Yes. And they did want to keep him. He left at the end of his contract as he wasn’t getting enough game time. They made him an offer for a new 4 year deal.

They just showed stats: Winks 85% pass completion. Stephens... 20%.

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

Well done. I was watching on Bein 7 in Arabic. Picture was great when it was working. Cheers.

TSN5 is jerky as well

Really? 20%?!

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Some stats:

We have the highest % of shots in the 6 yard box of any team in the league.

Fing about Brighton is, they always try an' walk it in

 

[bhawoddy]

22% possession. You sure it's just down to those two?

didn't say they were the only poor performers.

Not on my tv. Perfect picture and sound.

Not shooting in site is a long term thing for Albion though. Who was our last player that had a decent long range shot? Chippy? Crofts maybe?

Are you sure your not on the Adult channel?

Only ones you felt obliged to mention............

 

[RandyWanger]

I heard Kayal mentioned finally.

Chippy had great technique for that level. Kaz used to take a punt.

 

[sjamesb3466]

José needs to start running at them. His crossing isn't the best so needs to start scaring them in behind

 

[RandyWanger]

Ryans save was amazing. Offside though but he’s brilliant

 

[maltaseagull]

Stephens has been shocking, pröpper not much better, kayal mostly absent and knockaert needs a slap and told to stop being such a precious bitch. Hughton looked like he was going to tear him a new one at half time.

Haven't heard Kayal mentioned at all.

 

[Simster]

Things you never hear said:

I see Hughton is throwing on all 3 subs at once - a much needed attempt to change things.

stephens giving the ball away again

 

[stss30]

They offered Knockaert a 4 year deal at the end of their first season in the PL, he turned it down because he wanted to be closer to his Dad.

They made him an average contract offer as he wasn't a first team player so he upped sticks and moved elsewhere, lets be honest.

 

[bhawoddy]

stephens again

Sidwell.............50 yards plus.
