Match Threads Brighton vs Spurs

[Fredo]

can someone tell emerson to please stop doing stepovers as the last man in defence? we play like its fifa sometimes with no discipline

 

[k1cks77]

Shocking pretty much all over the pitch, bar vicario. If we would just wake up and put some effort in and stop with the sloppy passes there is still something in this match for us. I mean even playing the way we have been we have had 2/3 good chances already. COYS!

I always wanted to see Kulu on the left. But. It doesn’t work swap them please.

 

[StockSpur]

the hojberg hate is laughable, the front 4 have been dogshit

 

[TC18]

Probably worst defensive display by any side in the league this season. Like watching a pub side defend.

Exactly how I thought we were looking.

Is Ange purposely not using the youth to prove some sort of point and keep pressure on Levy to buy early?

 

[Yid-ol]

Gio for Hojbjerg and a CB on me thinks.

Would totally mess up CM even more, they are running through us and I don't see gio offering much in defence. Though same for son, not doing enough coming back to help.

 

[mil1lion]

We always lose on Prime and we're playing in the worst kit. Never had a good feeling but that was the worst half of the season so far. Could be 5 down easy and can't hit the target at the other end. Get it over with already.

 

[fecka]

Came in at about min 30 and everyone just looks off the pace completely. Everyone's treading water and misplacing passes left and right. A bit worrying to be honest but Brighton is also great at targeting our weaknesses

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

It's that bad I wouldn't be doing any bollocking. Not worth the energy. I'd just give them the silent treatment and make 5 subs.

Yea no point in a bollocking tonight just need to make some good subs and see if it changes the flow of the game. If no subs at HT we will lose this badly from here.

 

[stevensthfc]

Lucky it’s only 2.

All awful, but Hojbjerg, Davies and Emerson do not anticipate the next play. They need a touch, a look and then it’s too late at this level.

 

[rossdapep]

We don't have anywhere near the side out there to play Ange's system effectively.

You either compromise the system to suit the players or expect the worst.

If we don't get a couple in next week I'm expecting a very miserable January.

How about we look at the long term picture?

 

[kent brockman]

Playing Royal, Davies and Hojbjerg is simply too many players with insufficient techincal ability on the ball.

Nothing to lose now, so GLC for Hojbjerg and Phillips or Dorrington for Emerson.

 

[Gbspurs]

If people think Hojbjerg is having a good game they aren't watching closely enough.

His positioning is consistently poor when we have the ball, meaning we are struggling to play out. He is ponderous getting back meaning when play is turned over our defence have no protection. When he is back (like the first goal) watch how he just waves a foot at Joao Pedro. Lazy

 

[Thenewcat]

Hinshelwood is making his 5th professional appearance

And he’s playing FB. Loads more youngsters get chances at FB than CB

 

[stormfly]

Worst 1st half performance of the season followed by our best 2nd half performance 2-5 Spurs (I was visited by the ghost of Xmas future).

 

[FinnYid]

Got to get Lo Celso and Dorrington in my opinion.

Might as well think about Donley or Gil to the left

 

[Joely]

Rancid 1st half performance and feels like we are just going through the motions. Only one who comes out with any credit is Vicario imo. Positive is Brighton do give you a chance but next goal will is crucial.

 

[Nerine]

We were brown and squelchy then. Kind of like a baguette filled with onion soup landing in a bidet with toilet fill up water in it FFS!!!

 

[npearl4spurs]

If there was ever a match for Lo Celso to come on and show us what his best is, this would be it...on for Hojberg

 

[Mr Pink]

I know Sanchez wasnt the be all and all that...

But I reckon we're 3/4 points better off minimum had we kept him.
