Match Threads Brighton & Hove Albion vs Spurs - Match Thread

[poc]

Mourinho is a good manager but a poor man manager. When he leaves clubs he leaves them in the same disruption that we are in now. You only have to look at Chelsea (2nd time), Real Madrid and Man U to see that. We need stability not a one season wonder.

I understand that but to dismiss what good he can and does do is imo stupid he wins things ffs. It is just fashionable to hate him all this nonsense about anti football cos he shut up shop in a CL final. Anyway like I said there a a couple.of people I'd rather have but I wouldn't be gutted if he ended up as our manager like a lot on here would by the looks of it.

Poch is going to blame the performance on the Lloris injury right?

 

[Zummerzet Spur]

If it’s the contract dodgers affecting the whole squad then banish them and play some of the kids. At least what they lack in experience would be made up for with hunger, desire and some energy - it can’t be any worse!

 

[13VanDerBale13]

How the fuck does Lucas not start at this point.

Look at our manager, theres your answer, we are a shambles and so is he

 

[Swalien]

So much for the team coming out all guns blazing to make up for the embarrassment of tuesday.

 

[dondo]

Moura looks good.

Maybe we should play him

 

[Primativ]

Moura our only bright spot and Poch never plays him.

 

[Dannyspur]

I wonder what excuse we will hear from Poch post match, surely he realises his time is up

I am happy with the effort and the performance, maybe not the result , brighton are a difficult team to play - losing Lloris was a blow and we had to re-organise.

 

[CowInAComa]

Moura looks interested ?

Yet won't get into the team next game

 

[yankspurs]

Disagree. Maureen is poison, plays shit football and should be nowhere near our club.

At least there’d be some entertainment(his pressers)

 

[Chezaspur]

We need you again Jurgen

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Poch is going to blame the performance on the Lloris injury right?

'Difficult to recover under the circumstances' honestly just f off if he says that

 

[ernie78]

Moura looks interested ?

Yet he still won’t start the next game. Eriksen on the other hand ?

 

[ardiles]

Watching this match is like suffering the Chinese torture of a thousand cuts.

 

[Spurs 1961]

Glad we have an international break coming. Poch needs to go away and think hard about how we are going to change things

 

[TEESSIDE1]

Moura’s been very lively, ridiculous that he didn’t come on earlier. Alderweireld on the other resembles Eriksen... doesn’t give a shit.

 

[WiganSpur]

If it’s the contract dodgers affecting the whole squad then banish them and play some of the kids. At least what they lack in experience would be made up for with huger, desire and some energy - it can’t be any worse!

Exactly! Not as if we're short of good CBs

Toby, Verts, Rose, Eriksen can all easily make way for Tanganga, Foyth, Sanchez, Dier etc along with Sessegnon, Alli, GLC to replace the others.

 

[sausage]

I think Sissoko discovered at an early age that when he runs into people they fall over!

Do people seriously think Levy will sack Poch after this?

I can’t see it personally. Think we are in for week / months of this.

Yeah, you're probably right. But therein lies the problem. Lack of commitment at all levels to do what it takes to be successful.

Levy happy to count the pennies at the expense of actually winning anything. Begs the question as to what committed/successful manager would actually work under him?

Poch obviously out of all ideas. As @Trix said, "what happens when the motivator can no longer motivate?" He hasn't himself with the nonsense he has fed the media in the last 9+ months. The constant drip feed of rumours about his erratic and somewhat petty behaviour is alarming.... This is the sort of thing that starts coming out of clubs when the manager is a dead man walking.

And at least half of the current squad obviously don't want to play for Poch or the club. Only one team out there really want it. Brighton are first to every tackle, winning every 50:50 ball, fighting for every inch, playing for the jersey. Our bunch are so nonchalant, they continue to embarrass themselves and this club.

I fear that the underlying challenges and problems at much greater than just one man. I'm increasingly convinced that Poch is not capable of turning this around, but also that Levy won't change his ways and won't do what it takes to bring this club to the next level. Poch took us as far as we could go under Levy.

Wouldn't be sad to see Levy/ENIC, Poch and at least half the team go as soon as possible. Thanks for the memories....

The commentators getting carried away with how good brighton and their players are. Same as they did with Newcastle.

No. They are just playing spurs
