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

Don't think it's been that bad.

No, you're right it hasn't really been too bad. But very very sloppy defensively and some classic Albion utterly shocking finishing makes it seem worse. Understandable with Dunk as he's been out a good while, but we did seem out of sorts compared to of late. Tactics first half and missing both Ali mac and Trossard definitely didn't help

Anyone saying we were terrible is dead wrong. We were wasteful and must especially rue the chance Maupay had, but they have first class strikers and we made a couple of errors defensively. Had we not for unlucky with the second goal, it even their third, it may have all been different. Take cheating Kane from their team and they are very ordinary.

If we were as bad as some make out, then it shows how far we've come as I've watched some truly bad performances and that was not one of them.

Get real. That was awful. Yes there were some bad games in the past but on the basis of how we have played so far this season, that was awful.

He already has. Sounds stupid and behaves like a moron. Wealthy admittedly but…

I was think of something more violent and painful.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Let’s cut Dunk some slack, the sale of DBD has led to him straight back in after a long lay off in a performance where we were often pulled right out of shape - it always takes a bit to get back to match fitness.

Oh well. **** it, couldn’t care less about cup games.

Problem is nor do most of the players. I for one was calling for a few of the U23's to get a start and got shouted down on here earlier. They couldn't have done much worse.

We clearly missed our most in form defender (sadly sold at the worst time in the season), signed a 25 year old striker and loaned him back to USG.

Maupay just had one of those nights as did Webster - it can happen, but sadly most of our regular pro's didn't look that bothered to me (Biss being the notable exception).

Must just put this to bed and focus on the league.

Sanchez is beginning to worry me.

Me too. He's often too cool, slow to get rid, and has questionable judgement and positioning...apart from that he's fine. Today was a reality check I think.

So frustrating with another window closed and our greatest weakness is displayed at its worst.
For gods sake buy us a striker in the summer with view to play next season, not one that may make the team in five years time

Don’t get it loaned out £16m of talent weakened the back line and start feckin March.

 

[BadFish]

Each to their own but I really don't understand this mentality. With the squad we have at the moment this is the best opportunity we've had since 83 to actually win some silverware as a club. What's the point if we don't give a shit about the cups, especially in a season where we're all but safe already

I agree, we should be going all in in the cups.


Still that game should be forgotten and we move on.silly errors, sloppy play and . . . Missed chances.

Bissouma was best for us followed by Cucurella the rest were meh

 

[portlock seagull]

A match to forget. We were terrible in first half, and yet again, doesn’t matter how amazing we are for 45mins if you gift goals against quality sides it’s nearly always going to end in tears.

Sometimes it would be easier if we just got thumped and won the next game.

But this endless great football that continually produces draws or narrow defeats is infuriating. We’re like a one armed man hanging off a cliff with itchy balls.

Nah, you get real mate. We weren't as bad as some think. Had either the mess up for their third not happened or Maupay stuck his chance in, we may have equalized and people would be raving about a fantastic comeback.

 

[Deleted member 2719]

Trossard is a big miss too.

Mate, I said that to the missus. We missed him big style.

Maupay should have scored tonight but he has actually scored above his Xg this season. We missed Trossard, Bissouma played well, Dunk not so great.

Maupay is shite at 1 on 1’s if he doesn’t have to think about it he’s more likely to score.

 

[pure_white]

We better smash them at the Amex. I fvck1ng hate Rottenham. Biss world class.

 

[Normandy seagull]

We played a bit like we were still a championship side on a big day out. bissouma deserved more today

I agree. Two rare mistakes by Webster cost us but we weren’t dreadful. Dunk isn’t match fit after a two month injury absence and we missed Trossard tonight,

It’s the usual ones moaning again so don’t take any notice of them.

 

[peterward]

I hope this is not going to be regular again because we are back to only playing well in one half, but even in this half we are missing very good chances.
Spurs have scored 2 strange goals though (Son slips and the ball defects off of Websters shin straight to Kane)

We've had a well oiled machine for months. Not won them all, but never been this bad. We sell our best defender of this season on the cheap and are now trying to fix what wasn't broke.

I know its done, but selling BDB really did look like bad business a week ago, it looked 3x worse tonight.

Gross and March today are also second rate players.

Maupay can do it, but he simply has to improve. He woudnt get in the Dog&Duck starting 11 with that performance

Why attempt to chip a keeper that isnt going down?
