Tottenham Vs Brighton - Tues 23rd April 2019.

[Don Giovanni]

Depressing stuff.

 

[ShutUpPatrik]

Need to up the intensity in the second half.

We cannot play like it is a training session against teams like this. It just suits them.

 

[Incomplete_usernam]

Absolutely piss poor first half, people act like Brighton haven't turned up like this against other teams and had their pants pulled down.

We look completely out of ideas and like we turned up expecting to steam roll them, we are lacking intensity.

 

[Bazali]

Agreed. Don't get why we don't pump it to Nando

Agreed

Nando doing ok when he does get possession

 

[Gmspurs]

Fuck me, this has 1-0 Brighton written all over it.

:lennon:

 

[GDN]

Too much dawdling, it’s giving them time to set every time we attack. More movement needed up top.

 

[sammyspurs]

Jesus fucking Christ, we are seriously not winning this.

Why not?
Can’t you see Dele and Eriksen our world class midfielders tearing it up at every opportunity?

Everyone else can

 

[Totti]

Absolutely piss poor first half, people act like Brighton haven't turned up like this against other teams and had their pants pulled down.

We look completely out of ideas and like we turned up expecting to steam roll them.

Wolves had 80% possession against Brighton at the weekend and drew 0-0.

Brighton are in desperation mode. Haven't scored a goal in 7 games. Need points.

I don't blame them for the way they're playing at all.

We'll still win

 

[CroSpurs]

Llorente was really poor. Although can't blame him, we need pace and he doesn't have it.

 

[todd1882]

A first half like this makes you appreciate Winks even more.

And any other player that can receive the ball and play it under pressure. Rare commodity in this team as Brighton are exposing mercilessly right now.

 

[DemPele]

Not a huge Danny Rose fan, but thought hes been exemplary first half.

 

[Melspurnian]

Lucas and son need to switch back. Lucas keeps trying to cut inside and either shoot or put in a lofted cross. That sort of play isn't helping with congestion. At least son can take it onto his left every other time. Need more urgency though, we aren't troubling them by strolling it around and then shooting from 25 yards

 

[Ginolaflair]

It's all about the tempo for me...fair play brighton that have come with a game plan but frustrating as hell...how come there's been so few yellows for them?

Tempo is the key word

 

[Totti]

Llorente was really poor. Although can't blame him, we need pace and he doesn't have it.

It really wasn't a game for him.

You can't play Llorente against teams who put everyone behind the ball.

 

[False 9]

So basically our plan is to pass the ball backwards to our CBs and let them shoot from distance. Lovely

 

[Don Giovanni]

Llorente, never seen 45 minutes of pointlessness in my life time.

 

[Eli]

If we just played with the SLIGHTEST bit of energy, Brighton's players would be all over the place. We make it so painfully easy for them by playing like turtles.

Playing like turtles!!!!....

 

[Steed_Train]

More melters on here than usual

 

[hiatus]

Not quick enough with the passing and movement. Expect Poch to have a word.

 

[Kompreszor]

Had our chances, unlucky to be 0-0.

Need to up the tempo, not worried at all for now.
