Match Threads Brighton vs Spurs

[Lifelong]

the biggest shock is that it’s not a shock…..and it’s been this way for far too long…

Ange shaking his head like he wasn't complicit in that shit show of a second half.

Yea Ange has to take most of the blame today, hopefully he learns from it.

We've been very good recently but today was mostly on him.

Just like players, managers have good and bad days also, I just hope he's not too stubborn and does realise he could do with making some changes a bit earlier on sometimes.

We kept playing at 100 miles an hour, flying in to and missing tackles, ball watching..... it was the epitome of Sunday league for 20 minutes.

And I forgot to add - not one of their goals was a good goal. Udogie had the worst 20 minutes of his career. Panicked clearance attempt on the first. Didn't get across and put a decent tackle in for the second. The third he gave away an easy throw in. Then didn't stand his man up when it was thrown to him. Compounded by Bentacour being a pussy bynot sticking a tackle allowing the cross.

We have far too many Mr Nice Guys. Who in the squad is the general. The one that rants at poor efforts, raises a fist with a come on shout telling others to switch the fuck on. Demanding greater effort...... We need a nasty fucker. A Roy Keane type.

Rant over

We were fantastic first half. But the problem is that as soon as things get difficult Ange is unable to react. He Prefers to shake his head on the sidelines and leave it to the players on field to do something about it. We will keep getting results like today, does not matter if we give him millions to get the players he want. He’s just too stubborn to admit he needs a plan B

I kind of agree. You can't tell the players that you're all about non-stop front foot football and then bollock them for not taking the sting out of a game. But i'm sure he will take responsibility for it. He knows that there will be games like this where we will come unstuck.

 

[Trix]

Nope. This one is totally on the players.

You can keep saying it but I don't think anyone believes you. Well, anyone that watched that and understood it at least.

Just so you know, it is ok to criticize him when he gets it wrong just like it's ok to praise him when he gets it right.

You are saying it's all on the players yet he watched it happening for 35 minutes without trying to change it in any way.

This needs to be a massive lesson for this team.

It won't be...

 

[Yiddo1982]

Those people dreaming of being in Bilbao for the Europa final in May are jokers. In two legged football you need periods when you can be pragmatic. We will never do this.

 

[felmani26]

Yea I do agree with that, I don't think they're strong leaders tbh.

We've lacked strong leaders at Spurs for many many years now tbh.

Really disappointed with Romero and not the first time truth be told.

Son more an ambassador than a leader/Captain and Maddison is a good time player who can’t perform under adversity.

Deki probably has better credentials than the 3 above if I’m being honest

This needs to be a massive lesson for this team.

The trouble is that the only lesson we will learn is that we never learn our lessons

Brighton got some luck on their goals but us running out of steam like that was concerning. I think our subs should have come sooner. Gutted.

Fuckin hell stop it with the “it’s who we are it’s in our history it’ll always be the same” shite. Have some pride.

 

[Bobbins]

Another two years off the end of my life

 

[WiganSpur]

Not having son odobert Richarlison on the bench as attacking options didn't help either

Yeah the tired legs were definitely a factor too. I think that's the reason we didn't put up much of a fight after the 3rd went in. If you make a double sub up there it's potentially a different last 30 minutes for sure.

Yeah, cup football demands consistency which we don't have. We might play brilliantly for a few games but then we'll have an unexpected shocking phase in the knockouts that will put us out. Need to change this aspect.

Ange won’t, and even I don’t want him sacked yet, but we have players in our squad who I’m sure can ply like that.

 

[Chimbo!]

I see a lot of criticisms of Ange but I think we lost because of unforced defensive errors. The first goal straight after H/T especially was really bad and inexplicable for a top level professional footballer.

 

[pistolP]

This half has been an absolutely shocking 2nd half, made even more annoying by the sheer contrast to the first.

Great away win, everyone talking about how good Spurs were with another challenge ahead... We were ALWAYS going to lose, so annoyingly typical of this club.

Really need to learn how to manage games and adapt in some capacity. It can't be our way or the highway in every minute of every game. Adaptation doesn't have to result in a lack of threat. We honestly won't win anything without the ability or actually more so desire to shore things up a bit when needed.

The nature of that second half was actually really worrying. We could have been 4-0 up and given it away with that level of performance.

Ang does not believe in managing games, he believes in attacking all the time - one track bully.

Yeah totally correct though

 

[nico97531]

This one is on Ange, he just stood there watched the team got dismantled, not doing anything to at least try to help turn the tide when there was still a chance.

I like to know What the fuck was going through his mind when he’s watching us conceded 3 goals and came to the conclusion that no action was required,
when the whole game plan was out the window after the first Brighton goal went in, no one was pressing apart from solanke, the midfield was backing off while the defense was still trying to play a high line. The team has obviously lost its head and needed instructions, there’s no excuse for him to make no changes until the 79th minutes.
