I think we did deserve the win. We were all over them until we got the first. Then as soon as they equalised we were all over them until we got the 2nd. It was the sitting back in between that bothered me. We played like we were afraid of conceding when we were 1 up. No freedom. No determination to increase the lead. Its a mental issue. I'm sure Jose's totally aware of it. Time. Until then, we're still getting points. Typical Jose team to get points even when shit. That tells you that we have a real chance this year.
didnt think either Lalana or Doherty plays were fouls. Didnt think Kane'Lallana were in the box either.Think we got away with that one.
Penalty given to us was foul by Kane rather than Lallana.
Thought Doherty penalty could/should have been given which would have led to his dismissal also.
In respect of their goal was surprised in 2 respects, 1. They even looked at the foul, as happened in different phase of play, but secondly having seen it, it wasn’t overturned.
Kane’s swan dive to try and gain a penalty was an embarrassment also.
Just googled the ref to see what's being said and this was the first thing that came up
I think Brighton fans will be fuming.Graham Scott should count himself lucky that we got the win as most football fans will forget about this one relatively quickly now.
I think Brighton fans will be fuming.
Tbf I think every decision he took could be justified. But now VAR means there is more pressure on every decision being perfect, despite no such thing existing a lot of the time, and that people are ultra partisan and all that. I suspect a lot of tottenham and brighton fans will be sharing similar feelings.
On another day we don't get the penalty, brighton do get a penalty and the goal is disallowed. But on another day all three of those decisions could have gone in any way, and every single permutation would be defensible. It's really impossible situation, and because VAR is god it just puts more and more pressure.
Thought the tackle on Hojbjerg was a bookable offence, and Kane’s penalty was outside the box, and Doherty’s ‘tackle’ was a penalty. I am rapidly falling out of love with football with the game being managed by idiots both on and off the pitch.
Agree, Kane penalty correct, PEH a clear and obvious mistake by ref and Doherty seen them given and seen them not given. Brighton huffed and puffed but barely troubled Lloris.Sorry but this is total nonsense. The Hojbjerg foul is completely black and white. Whether he touches the ball is irrelevant- his studs are over the top, his follow through is reckless and cleans Hojbjerg out, and anyway Hojbjerg is still in possession.
At the other end of the scale, it amazes me how people don’t know the laws (including Martin Keown on MOTD). Harry Kane is standing directly under where the ball is going to land - it would literally hit him on the head if Lallana doesn’t clatter him. He is completely entitled to be there, and Lallana flies into him. The fact that he wants to be fouled doesn’t mean it isn’t a foul. Doherty’s falls into the ‘seen them given’ category, but Brighton benefited from by far the most egregious error of the game and didn’t create another chance of note. They weren’t unlucky
I'm normally one who would say this but I do think some just want to see us have a bit more control.
I'm not asking for total domination however I don't think we can allow teams to have so much play, especially around the penalty area. A better team would have done better with their opportunities today and players will get tired of sitting deep.
I think to see us as champions we need something more in midfield to allow us to get a grip on games when we are having issues on the counter. Brighton had us under a bit of pressure at times and we couldn't hold the ball, that's when you need a midfield to wrestle control back for a bit to ease the pressure.
They have a panel of judges watching and scoring them. Former professionals I believe.Can refs be 'demoted' for bad officiating or shit decisions? Or are they basically untouchable regardless of how badly they fuck up?
