Match Threads Brighton vs Spurs

[Guntz]

Solanke has done really well today.

Shame he's had a bunch of donkeys around him.

I really hate watching our players after this happens. Some of them look like they want to cry instead of encouraging each other.

High speed high risk football. When it works it’s glorious, when it doesn’t we look naive. It’s what we can expect from Ange, it’s all we can expect from Ange.

That’s an excuse and it doesn’t wash. Poor game management is nothing to do with the system. We lost our heads and Ange watched while Rome burned

 

[Mattspurs1982]

it's spineless Spurs, and lets be honest, no manager has been aboe to change that.

Odd as it’s essentially a whole new team

 

[snakehipsspurs]

Where's the movement in front of the midfield?! Nobody showing for the ball, it's so poor compared to the first half

Waiting for ideal circumstances again...

Ange could have made changes after the first or second goal.

Mitoma was causing so many problems drifting inside that a sub would have been warranted after their first goal.

He puts too much trust in these players when the momentum is clearly shifting.

The fact we always give the opposition chances, today Brighton have just taken them

 

[Rout-Ledge]

we all knew where this was headed as soon as they scored that first goal

 

[Johnny J]

This is down to individual errors among our defenders

It's not though is it. The press vanished, our midfield went AWOL, our forwards ran out of steam. I wish it was just defensive errors but it's more than that.

 

[Kingellesar]

If we pass it around a few more times between the centre backs I am sure we will get back into this

 

[midoshairband]

Incredibly disappointing from the players and Ange today.

We're very much still a work in progress, as they say, and will seemingly always be as soft as shite regardless form or personnel. It is the story of Tottenham. Just have to live with the reality.

Another international break entered into with a thud.

deep down I know you're right, but I'm getting sick to the back teeth of hearing this.

 

[RuskyM]

Collective responsibility because frankly a cockup like this is everyone’s fault.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

No manager is perfect but Ange's slowness with subs to react is costing us a lot of points annoyingly as we are doing a lot right but when we concede 1 and the momentum changes either the team needs to take responsibility and calm the game down and become solid for a period of time or Ange needs to make changes earlier to effect the momentum of the game, just leaving it as it is and letting us collapse from a 0-2 lead is very annoying and we will end up around 7th-10th if we keep throwing away leads like that.

 

[Johnny J]

Spurs 3 United 5. 2001.

I was unconscious for that game.

 

[Kirito]

Brighton boss showing Ange how you defend a lead.

 

[talkshowhost86]

We're going to lose this game because we've been significantly out-managed.

And it's far from the first time.

 

[haxman]

Why aren't we battering their goal trying to get the equaliser? This ponderous slow build up shit is good for nothing

 

[Dr Know]

Brighton deserve this imo. They went in at HT, came out with a plan to fight. We don’t seem to have a plan when things don’t go well for us. It seems like we got no fight

 

[WiganSpur]

Instead the team and Ange watched them score one, two, bloody three goals before doing anything about it. That's totally unacceptable.

We're great when the going is good. But when it gets even slightly tough, we crumble.

Another thing. They're 2-0 down at home and have just come out for the second half. It's obvious the manager is going to have tweaked it. So sit in for 5 and work out what they're doing before you make some decisions.

 

[cjbyid]

We're just not very good
