Match Threads Brighton & Hove Albion vs Spurs - Match Thread

[Haddock]

Regardless of what happens with Pochettino - it will take quite some time for me to embrace certain of our players again.

I am disgusted that our players have done this. When the Chelsea players purposely played like shit to get the manager sacked it was sickening to see.

Never thought I would see the same from our club, just shows money in the game ruins the joy, passion and the reason we all enjoy the sport, the football.

I would fine every single player a months wages for the performances they have put in this week.

I know Poch will go and he should take a lot of blame but the players need to as well and if it were me, some of them would have contracts terminated tomorrow.

For their benefit of doubts, you can't say they have not been trying. It always take two hands to clap. As leaders, like in any organisations, managers ALWAYS need to take responsibility as much as the players out on the field. No question about that.

There is going to be an awkward meeting behind closed doors between Levy and Poch after this shambles.
My guess is Levy will look Poch in the eye and ask him whether his heart is in carrying on. It’s time for honest conversations.

That conversation needed to happen a couple of months ago....

How ironic that Poch's favourite son, Lloris, was the catalyst for todays' loss and possibly his job. After Lloris's cock up, the players looked shell shocked and the confidence just drained from them. They were like statues.

If Poch does go, it would be such a sad end to the best manager we've had for a generation. The players should be ashamed.

No chance Rodgers comes here. That ship has sailed.

I wouldn't be too sure about that

 

[Thewobbler]

No away in 9 months

 

[Sevens]

Our best player today, yet again, Moussa Sissoko.

And that demonstrates why we are struggling. When Sissoko is deemed to be a star player for your side, it means your side isn’t good enough. That’s not a slight against Sissoko. It’s that Sissoko is a massive step down in quality from Modric and Dembele. It’s no coincidence that since him and Winks became our regular midfield duo our results have turned. They lack the quality of who they replaced.

Right back to the Trump thread it is then.

 

[Krafty]

It is a perfect storm.

Formation is just so, so wrong. leaves us both exposed while limiting the influence of our best players (save Son who I think does well in a front two)

Experienced key players with little left on their contracts thinking about their next move

Experienced key players who aren’t invested in their careers/the club anymore (Rose, Wanyama, maybe Dier)

Alli being woefully out of form

First choice replacements not quite convincing but also not given a proper run

Captain making horrendous errors

I want Poch to stay, but he really needs to do a hard reset. Lloris injury means Gazzinga will get a run, I would drop Aurier, Alderweireld (who just backs off anyone who runs at him) and Rose, and maybe Vertonghen. Stop playing the diamond, put Sissoko back into the squad player position that he really should be, see if Alli can regain form playing behind Kane, shunt Lamela, Son and Moura into wide positions, and give up on Eriksen.

Give KWP, Foyth, Sánchez, Skipp, Davies, maybe Tanganga runs in the team. At least they will welcome the opportunity (real Shane that Dier looks like another who isn’t that bothered anymore, I would try to integrate him back in too but...)

Just try something FFS

 

[eddiebailey]

I love Poch & have always hated Jose but after today i've changed my mind. This team needs someone to come in & tell them how we're gonna win things. Just think too many of our squad think Poch has taken them as far as he can

No point bringing in Maureen unless you're planning to spend a shedload of money, and Spurs won't be doing that anytime soon. Also his teams play dire football and his recent CV is nothing to write home about. I'll pass.

 

[RikkiRocket]

We are not paying off Poch AND buying out another manager’s contract. It will be someone out of a job currently. Mourinho, Allegri the obvious names.

Ring ring, “hello, Wolverhampton Wanderers how may I direct your call”

 

[ilikeost]

At least I transferred Lloris out of my Fantasy team last night!

Good for you!

Some of them have become mercurial wankers and some of them straight up wankers.

'Team' needs gutting.

 

[dondo]

Despise Eriksen. Fully expect the spam ratings from the fan boys

I despise anyone who doesn’t give their all for our great club and Eriksen is certainly one of them today and for a while

END OF AN ERA

 

[The Long Suffering One]

How gutting to see the same set of players that Poch groomed, some to become better than they actually were before, a few who have become top stars, have totally stopped playing for him and dare I say it, stopped playing for the fans and the club... Absolutely gutting..

 

[g_harry]

Are people seriously wanting Rodgers over Poch. Jesus Fucking Christ.

 

[VegasII]

4 scored, 11 against this week.
