Maybe Ange is giving game time to Gill and Hojberg to put them in the shopping window? Its easier to sell them , when you can see them play and they are match fit.

@Trix your repetitive posts and general negativity is starting to drain me a little. It’s got to the stage where I’m 100% convinced you’re either Dorrington/Philips father or you’ve a large wager on them making their prem debut.

Please have a day off.

I see the knives are being sharpened already.
Not really just some valid criticism of our worst performance of the season and some decisions and selections which in heindsight could’ve been different.

That being said we all know injuries etc are killing us and Ange’s hands are tied to an extent.

He’s probably trying to prove a point to Levy that we need CBs in the transfer window.
Mangers doesn't try to prove anything when points are at stake. He just thinks Emerson is a better choice. And its not like he have played academy players at other positions, like Donley in midfield.

Of course not. But it was a shit performance. I don’t think another cb would have made a massive difference today
It was a shit performance but a lot of that stems from the team selection and tactics for me. These players he's picking are not capable of playing out from the back under pressure. Now throw in the fact Brighton are an effective high pressing and organised team and it's a recipe for disaster. We gave the ball away over and over just like we did against Everton trying to play out because it's so predictable and we don't have the quality to beat their press.

Look I'm not saying we need to sit in or go long every time, but we could, whilst we are without so many technical players at least mix it up a bit and give them something to think about.

Absolutely, because they are equally pressured positions!
We shipped 4 goals anyway mate.

At this point, if im a spurs youth player and I can't get any game time even when there is literally no senior players fit that can play my position, then I'm probably getting my agent to start sounding out clubs for a move.

Yeah Emerson was ok against Villa and City but was a disaster there today.

I fully expected Agne to change at HT but he didnt

Bad night, we move on...but surely we go a different set up on Sunday.

For what it’s worth (fuck all in case you were wondering), I think the players will learn more from the last 20 minutes of that game than all those ones we’ve squeeked through.

We need to be relentless in going at teams and we just weren’t tonight, until the end.

He’s certainly trying to prove something.

Bad night from Ange, bad team selection and subs too late. Still fully behind him but he got it wrong today.

This is the key thing. We all know we are decimated by injuries, worse than decimated in fact, that’s only 10% casualties. Over half the squad are injured or suspended.

Brighton have had a week off too.

I get the clamour to play the kids, but he very obviously doesn’t think they are ready. They are only on the bench because there’s no one else to sit there. We all know Dier isn’t good enough for this system, and he’s been injured recently too.

People are going to have put their big boy pants on and accept that this is going to be a tough six weeks. There’s really not much we can do about it. Even if we sign a defender on January the first, we’ll still have more than half the squad injured, suspended or away on interntional duty.

That’s not “on Ange.”

He should probably have made subs earlier though, but I’m not sure it would have made a difference in the grand scheme of things.
