Match Threads Brighton vs Spurs

[The Long Suffering One]

We are just too nice of a football club. Pretty to watch when things are going well but when push comes to shove, more often than not, we just lack that mentality and leadership.

Even a draw here would feel like a lose

 

[taricco]

That’s a defensive change. We got conte back?

Just when I start to believe in this team….

This is the Spurs way

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Both Sarr and Bissouma will need to feel their way into the game.

Ange has left this too late.

Yep in CM as they type of players they are it'll take them 15-20mins to get into the game by which time the match has finished.

 

[Russ1201]

What do our captains do to calm, motivate and encourage? Weak as fuck.

 

[Crow]

Our press is gone, we are just standing and watching. We are also just standing and watching when in possession as well, there's just no energy in the side

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

I’ve been saying that since late last season, and getting pelters for it!

Not heard much from you of late

Suggest showing a bit of support once in a while.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

2 weeks with the hump until we play again. We better improve against the Spammers.

 

[Tucker]

Just when I start to believe in this team….

Don’t let individual results sway you either way. It’s been an unacceptable second half sure, but we’ve been playing well the last six games.

 

[midoshairband]

Disgraceful performance this

it'e a disgraceful second half alright.

not a single moan about that first 45.

 

[Guntz]

honestly, it’s embarrassing for a near enough 60 year old man vs someone who’s not even reached middle age. Like, the sort of thing were HR get involved to get the old boy to retire gracefully before he books in a trade which will bankrupt the firm.

He was probably still in nappies when Ange got his first managerial job

 

[WiganSpur]

Gets tiresome never being able to enjoy us doing well. We’re never far away from our fragile mentality showing up. Sickening because we were fantastic in the first half and looked like a well oiled machine.

I think it's more naivety than fragility to be honest. Every team comes up against a motivated side like Brighton every now and again. It's about recognising it as quickly as possible and trying to re-establish control of the game. If you're 2-0 up, take Werner off for a midfielder and have Kulu on the right for a start, and keep the full backs on a leash for 5-10 until the game calms down.

I don’t think our pressing was particularly great first half ether tbh but it was better then this

This.

 

[makeveli]

I don’t get annoyed anymore I expect it to happen every game lol why didn’t he do subs earlier !!

 

[13VanDerBale13]

This one is on Ange & the defence.

Its true.

 

[KingKay]

How not to manage a game. Games ebb and flow and you have to react and adapt. Just stupid to belligerently play one way regardless of the circumstances.

 

[Fidget]

Astonishing that it took nearly 35 minutes into the second half for Ange to try to change it up

See what you mean but when we’re in panic mental breakdown mode on pitch would making changes too quick add to panic.
Mikey getting ready.
Anyone got an idea on injury time?
