Match Threads Spurs vs Brighton

[Marcus_spur]

Terrible start so far. Look hungover

 

[yojambo]

Played better when everyone was out. Supposed to full strength now, playing worse than ever.

 

[Guntz]

Need Bissouma back in the team.

Bentancur isn't a 6.

 

[Cochise]

We've been poor all over so far. Brighton are all over us and we can't get out. Maddison is not moving the ball quickly and Richarlison has been poor with his work dropping deep.

 

[Teegart]

That all stemmed from Bentancur trying to skin players on the edge of his own box. He’s been very poor this game so far. Him as the 6 just doesn’t work for me.

 

[Erm33]

Richie causing us so many problems. 4 times he's had the ball and gave it away under little pressure every time

That's not the reason we're losing. But sure let's look for the scape goat.

 

[Johnny J]

We'll probably score but we'll definitely concede another.

 

[midoshairband]

the energy seems to have gone from earlier in the season. looks so slow and tentative.

 

[Wadec]

Said it after the Everton game, we are miles off it. Really frustrating considering the performances we put in at the start of the season and in games the squad was ruined through injury.

Just so far off it and really hoped we would have seen more today having had a week to prepare and nearly a full squad to choose from today. Still plenty of time to go today so hopefully things turn around.

 

[Dr Know]

It’s what we are mate…..as someone once said.

I get we play out from the back but if there’s not a pass on, why piss about holding the ball until you’re closed down then make a silly pass and lose the ball

 

[EastUpperDK82]

We are not at it recently are we.

No real excuses not to perform today with virtually fully fit squad.

Good thing is we have options of the bench in Son & Johnson but disappointing how we are playing recently, not quite sure why it’s not clicking yet.

And hopefully we want revenge for the 4-2 defeat at Brighton. And Joao Pedro's behaviour in that game... should fire us up for this one.

Teams know how we play now, we’ve got to adapt.

 

[SDogg]

Feels like Brighton get a penalty every game they play!

 

[theShiznit]

Our passing and movement has really dropped off a cliff since that game that shall not be mentioned.

Apart from the odd passage of play we just aren't dominating games in the way we were.

 

[jonnyp]

Such half-hearted pressing. Too easy for the keeper to pass it over the first line of press to a completely free player. Whole team has to press, not just the front line

 

[Dr Know]

We'll probably score but we'll definitely concede at least another two

 

[Johnny J]

That's not the reason we're losing. But sure let's look for the scape goat.

He didn't say it was the reason we're losing. Richi isn't holding up the ball well and that is indeed allowing Brighton to keep pressure on us.

A number of the players starting missed a long spell and have been thrown in a week too early in my opinion. Now they’re all lacking sharpness and the team looks massively disjointed. It will get better but maybe not today.

 

[parj]

Our midfield is piss poor today. No urgency, not showing.

 

[Scot-Spur]

Teams know how we play now, we’ve got to adapt.

It’s not a system thing imo. We are just slow at moving it and careless with our passes.
