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

[Dorset Seagull]

I think we are conserving our energy so we can have a right go late on when they start flagging after their recent exploits

 

[Washie]

If we get a goal does Nottingham v Chelsea as a draw work?

No, Forest MUST win and Villa NOT lose.

 

[aolstudios]

Awful first half. Players appear to have no desire to win. Poor team selection first half.
Mitoma, Veltman and Sanchez on
Adingra, Ayari and hinsh off.

Sanchez?

 

[Hiheidi]

Only consolation for me will be Villa losing out on champions league place, needing to sell to avoid ffp

And we won't have to cheer for Chelsea in the Conference final.

No

 

[J2 DOG]

Bullied in midfield! Bentacur needs a clump.A shot on goal would be nice

 

[Jeremiah]

Minteh is the only player who looks bothered and carry's a threat

 

[Conkers]

Sanchez?

If you believe half of NSC he would be an ideal sub for the 2nd half. Helicopter him down from Nottingham??

 

[Weststander]

3x as many attempts as them. But an extremely low xG.

For those watching, are these silly Shooooot type attempts, wasting possession?

Mostly

I think I've just calculated that our average age is 22.9. That is ridiculously young and may account for some of what we are seeing.

Having this kind of mentality in must-win games is precisely why we’ll never win a major trophy. Time and again we fail to turn up. It’s been like this as long as I can remember

 

[Brian Munich]

Not for me Clive. Shite picks for me.

Interested to know which available players you’d have out in the starting 11?

 

[RandyWanger]

Maybe there’s no european bonus for the players

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Not really outplayed by them. We've had all the possession and shots. Penalty aside, they've only looked like scoring once - and Bart saved that. Our only trouble is the age old one of not looking hugely threatening in the box.

But we haven't looked like scoring

 

[peterward]

Can’t blame manager for today shit happens that line up is not the best due to injuries we take 9th ok season and learn to be better next season

Wirh greatest respect, I don't agree.

I have no idea what happened at training ground, but unless all other players are refusing to play with JP? Shirley that is something that could have been addressed and sanctioned after today's game, rumours are he's off anyway, so why not field strongest team with a recognised striker. Professionals should be able to park differences for 90 minutes.

To go into a game where we needed a result without any recognised striker when we have a 30m one sitting at home is not "shit happens".

 

[Dick Head]

Time for Hürzeler to earn his salt.

 

[Mackenzie]

Well this isn't going to plan so far

Hopefully Mitoma can come on and spark something for us. Milner can sign off by kicking Bentencur into the stands.

 

[Deadly Danson]

Mitoma and Gomez coming on.

 

[Conkers]

Mitoma and Gomez on
