Rose is still ****...... but not as **** as Tony Gale. According to him the goalkeeper was distracted by the linesman’s flag
Does the shove from the defender count as an assist? Also, Aurier's is about the only tolerable one of these I've seen...
Predictably frustrating half as Brighton park the bus and spend 30 seconds on every throw and goal kick. What annoys me is how we are under almost zero pressure when on the ball yet no-one is showing any imaginative runs or showing for an early pass to get a move going. A large part of the problem is that our main playmakers, Eriksen and Winks, have been truly awful. Lamela looks eager but understandably rusty, Kane has been anonymous, Son started brightly but faded and the less said about our DOF the better but I personally want him gone next month if Sessegnon can be brought in. Dier and Jan playing well, as are Aurier and Sissoko. What's amazing is the fact that so often this season we've had 6-7 passengers per game yet still manage to score and sometimes go on to win. Boggles the mind to think where we'd be if the players actually gave 100%. Willing to forgive Winks a bad day in the office but he has been appalling.
Awful fisrt half by Spurs, slow safe passing again, the complete opposite to the stoke game. I cant think of a Spurs player that has played well, maybe Lamela who has been absolutely everywhere. Rose has been shocking, Sissoko being Sissoko, Son and Kane and Eriksen poor and Winks far too safe with his passing. I like Winks a lot but he needs to be braver if he is to become a top top player. One silver lining is that Brighton have got to come forward now IF they indeed want anything from this game, if they do then surely we will play better 2nd half and pick them off.
Aurier has done very well. His progress only serves to underscore the fact that Rose appears to be getting worse the more he plays. Look, the reality is that Sissoko really does put in a lot of effort. The fact that Brighton are camped in their own half means that he is free to run more or less anywhere, which he has been doing. Just a shame that Kane, Lamela and Son appear to be happier getting in eachother's way.
Leicester seem to have turned a corner. Puel showing Soton that they were too quick to get rid. If results stay as they are, we go 4th on GD.
Disappointed in Winks Rose...every performance makes his running off his mouth in August look more and more pathetic. Brighton will dangerous this half ... Will try and play football rather than time waste...thought I was watching a pullis team tbh. Sissoko decent...just get me 3 goals now
Winks off for Mousa. Not a surprise. Worst game I've seen him play but at this stage of his career it could be vital for him to take the criticism and grow from it.
