Kane getting great defensive headers in. Bale great attacking headers. If we keep it up i fully expect the league to ban headers by Christmas due to the links with dementia.

Lost count on how many times Kane fell to the ground today. Tremendous effort
I thought he was very decent, especially in the second half. Better than Tanguy certainly.
I'd give MotM to Hoj with Toby and Reg mentioned in despatches.
Someone who impressed me a lot was Bale in his relatively short time on the pitch. Winning goal, obviously, but I liked he work rate, got involved in defence a few times only to get up the pitsh sharpish as the attack developed
Son had a stinker. Tbf he’s been immense this season - allowed to have day offSame can be said for Lamela and Son. I thought our attackers played hard but all struggled pretty bad. Hopefully they'll get their stuff together next match.
agreed although the result is reminiscent of Jose’s Utd when they finished second. Often played badly but kept winning anyway. So maybe we can keep it up?
That ref decision for their goal was a fucking joke though, should have been a comfortable game otherwise.
To your point, Brighton only managed 6 shots. Honestly, the defense played well, the issue is we have to stop acting like we can hold a one goal lead. Limit their shots, score more goals than them, keep trying to push forward.That was the worst commentary I have ever had to endure that wasn't ManUTV!! They made out that Brighton completely bossed this game and should have won! We were poor (bar the first 20mins and we managed the last 6mins of injury time brilliantly). But Brighton didn't threaten, Lloris was a spectator and their goal was from the most ridicules decision I think I've ever seen (because he watched it repeatedly and still gave it!!). We hit the post twice and had LoCeso go inches wide. We were lucky not to concede a pen from Doherty.
First game this season where Ndombele didn't make an impact.
Lamela & PEH really were the only players that I thought were properly on their toes outside of the first 20mins.
Very well taken goal by Bale, lovely cross by Reggie.
Brighton are a good side and have made teams work hard in almost all of their games apart from last week but what it does show is that our Midfield is still struggling. We are still not a good side to watch if Ndombele, Kand and Son are not clicking.
Anyway, job is done and Up The Spurs!
I'll give the lads a bit of credit for bouncing back after another atrocious bit of VAR goes against us at home yet again.
But it should never have come to that, we need to learn how to kill games off rather than hanging on for dear life as our luck will run out at some point if this continues.
Laptop wallpaper right there ...( Not that I have used it .)....just saying ....
Right in front of it live and then gets a second opportunity with two screens. Unbelievable
