Match Threads Brighton & Hove Albion vs Spurs - Match Thread

[chinaman]

This is really relegation form. Where will the spark come from? Sad to say, but think we've seen the best of Kane. He just cannot put any weight on his right ankle anymore.

 

[SugarRay]

He needs mega money to do it though and Levy isn't that man, he is not the right fit for us atm, maybe when we get a billionaire we can get a manager who buys trophies but not now, Erik ten hag is much more our fit.

Ten Hag seems another Ramos type, but with less success. Flavour of the month. His record isn’t all that great

I’m not saying Jose is the answer, I’d prefer Allegri. I just don’t understand how people think we’re above Jose or he’s not up to the job. Laughable

Watching the celebrations for Brighton and their manager reminds me of when Poch the players and the fans would celebrate together. Distant days.

 

[Mr Pink]

I wanted him to stay but there's no response, no reaction.

Collectively we're not playing for the manager.

Time is up, definitely. Seen enough.

Nah in poch we trust

Your having a laugh he’s fucking clueless at the moment. 24 pts out of 23 games, no win away since January the champions league just papered over the cracks. A Poch saying if we win champions league it could be last game. Poch needs to fuck off I don’t trust him, he’s so stubborn hasn’t won anything and certainly hasn’t got winning mentality. Playing Eriksen , Toby and Verts is a fucking disgrace you play players who want to play for our club even academy players because they don’t want to play for us. But the one person who should take the can for causing all this and letting contracts run down is the little Bald twat he’s a fucking joker. And don’t give me all that bollocks look at our stadium fuck the stadium I want us to win things, at present that is never going to happen. Our club is a fucking laughing stock at the moment but. Love the badge and always will, not fucking levy and Poch the mighty cockerel COME ON YOU FUCKING SPURS

 

[Anurag Jo]

Moura been our best player and has hardly played, once again shows up Poch's flaws, thats without even mentioning the CL final snub

Shocking that he didnt play the final.

 

[ilikeost]

Still 2 points clear of Brighton! #mindthegap

 

[thePessimist]

No point in analyzing this game too much. Only thing to say is they’ve stopped playing for Poch. Sad point of no return

 

[Gareth88]

I fucking love Poch but this is unacceptable

 

[amathews3416]

Part of the problem is player leadership. We have none. Lloris is captain but has always been an introvert. Kane is the star man but takes on no on field leadership. Just watches the game go by. Not one player was urging anyone on today. We need a Jordan Henderson type who may not be the most talented but is going to make sure if you are on the pitch you are giving it all for the club. We are a gutless and leaderless squad and I really see no players or winners on this squad to take that role. This is nothing new though, there is a reason we have been mentally fragile in big moments for years now.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

We all know the players are throwing poch under the bus but we can't get rid of all them ffs, poch simply HAS to go

 

[Coco-1101]

Things went tits up ever since Dembele left.

I don't think its a coincidence.

He protected the defence and clearly was a leader in the dressing room. Everyone admired him.

Thats the thing. I waolud love to rate it winner 100x. He was massively underrated but our best player.

 

[idontgetit]

If we have ITK on transfers, surely we should have ITK on what the fuck has happened to this squad in the last year. Like what the shuddering fuck has happened?

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

A&C should get his ban stick out for anyone saying bring in Mourinho. Please for the love of the gods not that prick. You think its bad now, just give him a year to ruin a team.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

people on here , talking about mourinho , crazy talk!
i remember utd supporters ,talking the same crap !

United fans are self-entitled little cretins.

Mourinho won 3 trophies for United in his first season and finished second.

I would take that over anything Poch has done for us in 6 years.

 

[m*****73]

Mourinho left Chelsea in a much, much better position than when he found them, both times. It’s utter bollocks to suggest otherwise.

Real Madrid? Basket case club who then went on to win how many CL titles after he left? Yeah, they were left in a right old mess!

United? Sure they are a mess but he won stuff there and got them 2nd! With the dross they have in the side!?

Agree with all that.

But Mourinho had that success at clubs which were prepared to support him financially and a commitment to on-field success.... Spot the difference with the current ownership at Spurs?

 

[bubble07]

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

The real joke is Rodgers would turn us down right now

 

[ackie]

Just checking in now and see this disastrous score.
I've had enough.
Levy has to do something even if it costs us...
Sad and pathetic week.

 

[WiganSpur]

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

Aside from Lloris being Lloris look at how much of those could be fixed by a new manager...
