I think tonight all our problems finally caught up with us. When you've got 5 or 6 first team players unavailable, then you're bound to struggle.

We've been getting away with it for too long, like the Nottingham Forest and Everton games.

It was an abysmal performance and one i'm sure Ange will not be happy with and he'll get into them and sort it out.
 
Clear man of the match ...

Disgraceful and cowardly display.

Emerson is Emerson, we all know he is nowhere near the standard. Would have rather seen Phillips or even Dier tonight. We were playing Brighton with two wins from twelve games.

Kulu and Johnson need dropping. Atrocious play from both, it’s not a one off with either of them, they were as poor on Saturday against Everton.

As for son, I am glad he’s off to play for Korea. Needs stripping of the captaincy as well, no leadership qualities what so ever, whenever it’s going against us , he’s the first to go missing. He shys away, happy to look sad rather than fucking pissed off and trying to something about it.

Tonight he either fell over or gave the ball away. Lucky his name is not hjoiberg!
 
The squad just needs an upgrade, there’s not much else to say. Half the players in the squad shouldn’t be here. If you have too put to many of them on the pitch at once, this always happens.

This is the thing. People seem to forget we wanted rid of most of these players in May.

The fact Ange has got us where he has is in spite of the players.

Give him what he needs!
 
Ange needs a solution for the Brighton 1v1 press. Can't escape it with the short passing.
100%! Too often we keep going in the middle instead of trying to get ball out wide. Funny thing is towards the end we were goi g wide with Gil and destiny and putting crosses in. Why don’t we utilise our pace more?
 
It's just open season against all our players.

At half time it was

Fouls

Brighton 10 Spurs 3

Yellow cards

Brighton 1 Spurs 2


2 out of our only 3 fouls got yellow cards 60 percent versus 1 out of Brighton's 10.
Ange has got to get in the 4th official's face, like the other moaners, needs to stand up for the players, otherwise we'll continue to be screwed over.
 
Injuries don't help, but the team/senior players turned up tonight well off it for whatever reason. When that happens, the strength of the PL these days you may well get pumped.

Last 10-15 mins clawed back a bit of respectability, but over the match as a whole we were muck.
