Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Brighton & Hove Albion

When was the last time we had three 3pm KOs in a row on a Saturday

 

It's a shock to football focus. Referred to our kick off tomorrow on several occasions.

 

Looked like we started at 3.01...

Update 3.35 : still waiting for us to start.....

 

Might have been the season under Jol where we had two cup games for the entire season

 

Not a great start. Looking vulnerable to Mitoma pace and we're looking disjointed generally.

 

Wellbeck so much better than Rashford

 

When in doubt, boot it out !!!

 

Brighton looking very bright and creative. Their passing is much more crisp and accurate than us at the moment.
And we give away a penalty! 0-1

 

I hate playing Brighton now. Feel like they’ve become a bogey team for us recently.

 

Incredibly frustrating start to the game. We took a long time to wake up and were very sloppy including for the pen. I think Bentancur is a magnificent footballer but he’s still working out his awareness in that 6 position both on and off the ball. We look a bit like a team of strangers.

Lots of options off the bench to tinker with things, let’s hope Ange uses them well.

 

Stupid from Romero. Much as Lallana deserves a clatter, that could easily get a red card.

 

Woeful start but improved in last 3 or 4 mins

 

Werner makes look like we got 10 men tbh

 

Brighton pressing very effectively, not over-committing bodies, but tearing holes through us.

 

Totally ineffective.

 

And Richarlison is playing like....well Richarlison tbh

 

Sarr having a mare at the moment.

 

We've allowed them to get in our heads like Brentford did.

 

Our passing has been so sloppy. But the most important reason is that the midfield just looks off again. They press really well but too many players not moving enough.
