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

[Ike and Tina Burner]

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

As I said on here a after Forrest in the cup, we're a Spursy club and always have been (I appreciate how ironic this is)

 

[Oh_aye]

No, Forest MUST win and Villa NOT lose.

Still possible I suppose.

Forest better than Chelsea (it's the game I'm watching) and hopefully villa shut up shop against a previously toothless United.

We just need to tale care of our own business.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

On our medical team this.

I blame Pedro who made himself unavailable for 5 games and now makes us strikerless.

 

[Safe.]

Very disappointing first half. Theyre their for the taking.

 

[Ethelwulf]

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".

Until we have the full facts about JP I am not going to blame FH for not picking him today . I am not a fan at all of FH but today to me looks like his hands are tied behind his back

 

[Flounce]

No, Forest MUST win and Villa NOT lose.

And Brighton get a point, not looking good is it?

 

[Eeyore]

Time for Hürzeler to earn his salt.

Well if they are paying him in salt it's no wonder it's all a bit lackluster.

 

[SI 4 BHA]

Sorry, but this shambles is on FH. No commitment or urgency, shit team selection. Leaving Pedro out, when he didn't really have to.
Why is Adingra still playing for us, refused to go to Sunderland when we tried to sign Watson in Jan, should never have played for us again.
Only one team on the beach and its not the Europa League chumps.
Just whan I start thinking FH is OK, then he fucks up again!

On our medical team this.

Don’t think the medical team decided that the game plan should be playing traditional wingers with the aim of crossing the ball into the box without a recognised striker

 

[Boroseagull]

Got every game going on optus apart from ours. Not getting it on mine but every other game so listening on club website

Sorry, only just seen your post. If you haven't found it yet it's on Optus Sport 8.

 

[Conkers]

I blame Pedro who made himself unavailable for 5 games and now makes us strikerless.

I wish I could elbow someone at work, get 5 weeks paid leave and for it to be ok

 

[Washie]

They turned Milner, from one of the most reliable and fit midfielders into a permanent sicknote. But yes, Pedro is a ****

 

[Shins]

Hinsh to left back. Mitoma for Igor.

Gomez no.10 for Adingra.

Gruda to right wing and Minteh up top.

 

[London Irish]

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

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

Our only goal threat was the header at a corner, poor half otherwise

 

[Brian Munich]

Is it just me, or is NSC becoming almost unusable on a phone these days? It was bad enough trying to write a post for the last few months, but even reading this thread is becoming painful now. The Virgin Games ad seems to be particularly problematic.

I've had to switch to my laptop to follow the matchday thread today it's been so bad.

 

[Oh_aye]

I blame Pedro who made himself unavailable for 5 games and now makes us strikerless.

The most we've ever spent in a transfer window. Enciso, Buonanotte, ferguson and countless others out on loan, huge numbers injured, one player out for 'personal reasons'.

There are a few competing reasons for playing without a striker, and kids on the bench with no recognised fullbacks I reckon. Maybe the club just has to take a collective hit for being a bit naive, whilst recognising its on a learning curve.

 

[Blues Guitarist]

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

He's looked good on the left.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

I like Gomez.

We should have enough

You mean running blindly into defenders? A striker makes no difference with how the wingers played so far.
