Match Threads Spurs vs Brighton & Hove Albion - Match Thread

[Mr Pink]

How come winter ball didn't come in this weekend? Has done every previous year at Halloween.

Kane’s penalty was outside the box.

Good finish in the circumstances then...

 

[Japhet]

Yep for me Kane was fouled, penalty correct decision.

Their goal should of been ruled out as PEH was definitely fouled, and March booked.

They should of had a penalty though.

I thought the initial contact on Kane was outside the box and that he was backing into Lallana looking for a foul. I agree though that their goal should have been ruled out and they should have had a penalty.

following offences against an opponent in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force:

Sorry but you are way off base. The bit above is the only bit you needed. He isn’t in control and cleans out Hojbjerg, it’s a reckless and dangerous challenge. Personally I think the fact that his studs are over the ball is also relevant but that simply doesn’t even matter. The fact that you graze the ball doesn’t give you carte blanche to wipe a player out

Yeah he was looking for the foul but that doesn't mean one didn't take place, it did for me mate.

Thought it was outside as well at first, but then replay shows kane on the line at the time it happens.

You're missing the point. If better players than the ones in Brighton are allowed the space we gave up last night we'll be punished.

Yeah, the grand plan. Give me a break. We haven't been defensively solid at all this season so I truly fail to see the reasoning behind us scoring a goal and then willingly giving the initiative to the opponents. That's a narrative constructed after the match.
It's natural to let the foot off the gas a bit when you feel that you're the superior team. But that's the exact problem isn't it? We did it against Newcastle, and we did it against Spammers and we got punished. It's beggars belief that this is a tactical plan.

Look, we won. So I can't say it's disastrous. But to me it's obvious that there's still a lot of work to be done.

Agree and disagree with some of your comments I don't think Jose has a problem giving the opposition most of the ball, the problem I think we have is that our midfield is our conundrum, our combinations are either too defensive or too attacking, I was hoping the PEH, Ndombele & GLC combo might be the answer but for various reasons Jose hasn't felt those 3 are ready to play together just yet....it's always a good sign to win when not being at your best and interestingly yesterday once Brighton equalised we got control of the game again and saw the match out comfortably....For some reason we look better against teams that come to play and always struggle against low block teams....

Adrian Durham,Who has always had a poor opinion of Spurs has released his list of the top 5 divers in the Premier League.
In reverse order...
5.Jamie Vardy
4.Ashley Barnes
3.Mo Salah
2.Wilfried Zaha
and his biggest diver is no other than one of our own, Harry Kane.
Is this idiot for real. Sadio Mane not even on the list and HK the biggest diver?

Adrian Durham is one of those people whose name itself can be used as an insult. He is a complete and utter Adrian Durham! He loves trying to trigger particularly Tottenham and Arsenal fans on his show so I am amazed he hasn't put PEA in his list as well. No way does Kane dive more than Vardy or Salah and Zaha must be one of the most fouled footballers on the planet along with Traore. Grealish gets fouled a lot too but also goes down very very easily and he has not made this list.

Of course he's not, his entire job revolves solely around provoking reaction...a reaction just like you've displayed here.

Does anyone give a shit what Durham thinks? If anyone does they deserve what they get.

It’s just a scam to get thick football fans of the respective clubs to ring in and look like dicks.

Well he is entirely correct about both Vardy and Salah.
