Match Threads Brighton Vs Spurs

[Spursberg]

We can not Even win the midfield with one more in There’ with the ball we look stressed and without we just fall in to our 16 yard box

 

[JayB]

The ref is an absolute ****

 

[Timberwolf]

Funnily enough, we actually look a bit more fragile defensively with only 2 up top.

Think the wide forwards drop deeper defensively in a front 3, whereas the front 2 stay a bit higher off the ball, which leaves us slightly more open.

Worth the trade-off IMO. We look much more watchable and effective in possession.

 

[Cavehillspur]

Blows for them when someone slightly falls over

Fucking hell

Its so blatant

 

[Zippy1980]

Deserved lead

 

[Doctor Dinkey]

Happy so far. Players appear to like the new formation.

 

[Eric_s]

This referee is a clown.

 

[dagraham]

Look much better with the extra man in midfield, but lost our way in the last 10-15 minutes.

Brighton have upped their intensity and we need to do the same.

 

[JCRD]

In summary, up until the goal we looked decent but after our goal we kinda retreated. Brighton looking dangerous. Would like us to continue how we played up until our goal.

COYS

 

[GutBucket]

It will be a more difficult match at our stadium, they are much worse at home. Need another goal.

 

[glacierSpurs]

Almost none of our players falling down was given a foul. Ffs

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Dropping a bit deep now.
Bit worrying with Biss and PEH on yellow cards, hope to see Skipp sooner rather than later.

Don't think PEH is on yellow - is he?

 

[chrissivad]

Kane should be having a word to the ref about those 'fouls' as he went off.

 

[nidge]

Just popped in at HT to say........ fuck the ref.

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

Just an observation - but for playing 3 CMs, we are getting cut open in the middle a lot.

That’s because Hojbjerg and Bentancur are inept at receiving ball into feet and then retaining possession

 

[tobi]

They're dong a better job of taking extra touches and holding onto the ball today.

Need to do better at creating opportunities to shoot though.

 

[Athenspur]

Brighton are good, aren't they. So are we for a change. The Bissouma situation is my only real concern. He's on a yellow, his confidence is low and he's not playing well at all. No way Conte subs him off at HT though

 

[Romulus]

Very unimpressed with Bissouma so far for us.

I know what you mean but he's only started 2 games for us. Give him time.

 

[mdharris]

Decent. They haven’t created too much. Need a bit more quality from Sess, Doherty and Son. But we should win this.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

I prefer 3 in midfield but ideally we would have a creative playmaker in the three who can carry the ball forward and dictate. I feel PEH, Biss and Ben isn’t a great balance. But I fully appreciate that we aren’t built for it
