contes substitutions are not good. Always like for like, there's not ever a plan b.

Son off when we want a goal? Lucas should have come on but for Kulu??? the wing backs were utterly shite yet they get to stay on?
 
I'm trying to be philosophical about it. Yes it was a shocking performance, so lethargic and ponderous on the ball, probably one of our worst 4 or 5 under Conte, but it comes off the back of a really great month or so when we really looked like we were clicking. And no team plays well every game or wins every match, even City and Pool drop points sometimes. If you ever offer me (say) 5 wins and 1 loss from 6 games, I'd take that, anyone would. The difference between the best and the also-rans is not that the best never lose, it's how they respond to losing - so if we get back to winning ways next weekend, and show a lot more energy than today, I'd still fancy us to take 4th.

It's still very much 'on'. COYS!
 
Why are we always shit at Easter... Is it a Jesus v Jews thing?

...and to think, the sun is shining, Saturday kick off... Sunday roast tomorrow...
Everything was in place for a beautiful, glorious weekend.... But SPURS know fucking better and fucking ruined it....
Fucking idiots!
 
Felt this coming all week. We all know the mentality of this group. Carried away complacency is what we do. After some impressive results this just stinks. Some credit to Brighton but we were badly found out today as mentally weak. This result will give others confidence too. So poor.
Couldn't of put it any better. Too many players have this soft, weak, fragile, cowering, cuntish mentality!
 
We have only got two workable midfielders as Skipp is injured. If Hojbjerg and Bentancur play bad or get overwhelmed we are fucked.
 
Some days you have to hold up your hands and say the opposition played well.

This wasn’t one of those days, we were shit, back to front.
 
Give credit to Potter and Brighton. Tactically they found a way to nullify our strengths. We couldn't get our front 3 in the game and their midfield dominated defensively.

I hoped Conte would have more of an answer second half - he tried to go a bit more direct, but didn't change the shape. Not sure why he doesn't try the 352 more when things aren't working.
