Match Threads Brighton vs Spurs - Match Thread - Day 20

[U.S. Spurs Fan]

If a person who never watched football before watched these first 20 minutes and had to guess which team was 17th out of 20 teams, pretty sure I know which one they would pick.

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

Do people still rate Ben Davies?

i think he’s a solid, unspectacular defender but playing him at WB is a disaster.

 

[tommyt]

We desperately need a Bruno type signing to reinvigorate the club. Shame there's only 1 day left of the window...

Everything just seems flat atm.

 

[Donki]

How could we have gone from looking like potential champs for 2.5 months then to a championship side. We are being outplayed by Brighton. You know Winks is going to come on too and it'll be even more painfully slow

We never looked like champs, more chumps.

 

[PeeEyeEmPee]

As usual, the focus is on individual errors and/or limitations. But what is our actual gameplan as far as trying to score goals?

 

[glacierSpurs]

Why are Brighton pressing our defence when winning 1-0?
Surely they must understand you must invite pressure and give the opposition a chance

We have been found out. We can never deal with pressing. We can never cross well.

 

[dbspurs]

Imagine Rodon looking to his left and seeing Ben Davies. No wonder he goes back in field.

 

[freeeki]

No @Vinny_Sammways_left_peg @Gb160 and @freeeki say were not allowed to complain and everything is fine right now.

Wake up.

Why are you complaining?

Yesterday you were telling us you’re hoping for a terrible league finish so Jose gets sacked, because your loathing of Jose outweighs your support for Spurs.

You should be leaping for joy right now, in your Brighton shirt presumably.

 

[jonnyp]

That sums us up. On the edge of their box and then all the way back to Hugo.

 

[waresy]

Alan Smith has summed it up well... No conviction, haven't started playing yet.

Trouble is we stopped playing a while back and haven't worked out how to again.

Where has our confidence gone?

 

[wishkah]

So so bad to watch. The tactics mean we never have a midfield. No one to pass to going forward. Not enough cover going back.

 

[RamonVega'sShinners]

Shape completely wrong for this selection, baffling. Overrun in midfield.

 

[punky]

Sissoko delivering our crosses now really says it all.

No one was even in the 18 yard box.

 

[Col_M]

If I’m lucky my battery will run out

 

[cjbyid]

Every single ball goes backwards

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Is anyone really surprised ? This clown plays 5 at the back & expects us to create, fucking awful

 

[Trix]

Why are we not using our fit striker?

Does it matter we wouldn't get the ball to him anyway.

 

[mano-obe]

Jose is so lucky we play behind closed doors

Its like watching a Graham, Santini and AVB rolled all into one

 

[mrlilywhite]

Indeed it was shit under Poch it is shit under Jose. It just doesn't work with what we have.

Keeping in mind that 4 of those on the pitch tonight are Jose's signings or at least came in under his stewardship.

 

[sparx100]

So what does Jose have up his sleeve now? Winks? Dier?

Hopefully both. Put them in central midfield to up our creativity....
