Honestly 99.9% of the time it would be a horrible idea but I legitimately think I agree it wouldn't have been any worse. I mean all we were doing all game to try and create was launching long, terrible balls to Son which never even got close to him. The one time we created a chance was a diagonal long ball straight up to Kane who knocked it down for Bergwijn.

If you're not gonna press the Brighton midfield and not gonna even attempt playing through them .. might as well just play hoofball.
Problem is we don't have 5 forwards...or 4...or 3.....
 
Yes

He’s a professional footballer getting paid a lot of money and supposed to be a striker so yes he should have at the very least hit the target

His technique was crap and he probably bottled it like he did at the Dippers a while back


A flash in the pan like the Leicester game is not enough imv

It clearly is with you?
I didn’t say that per set however I’m saying the criticism is a tad ott. You could apply the your sane cricusm to the starting 11? They are all professional footballers paid millions yet they can’t pass to a team mate for May be more than 3 consecutive passes. How about running about a bit and making an effort none of which they did yday. Some forward passes wouldn’t go a miss. Hitting long balls to no one. I could go on. So signalling out berg who hardly ever played gets 3 mins to make a diff and probably thinks he needs to really make a difference is bound to affect his confidence and rhythm. Please note i am not saying berg is a world beater.

But I have criticised the whole team as they were shite and a disgrace to the shirt but Berg has occasionally flattered to deceive but , like a few others, just isn’t good enough and that shocking miss typifies him as it wasn’t the first time
 
Jeez. Just watched the last 10mins which I missed in real time. Big miss from Bergwijn. Would have been nice to see him on the field making smart runs like that for 30mins instead of Lucas playing pinball.
I thought that Conte would've bypassed the midfield 2nd half with a bit of long ball action, and some runners, like he did against Villa, as we were clearly unable to pass our way through Brighton's well organised 2 banks of 4. Potter's tactics were straight out of the Burnley playbook, but they worked! Our boys looked clueless and sluggish, and I feel that Conte should have done more tactically. I've only just stopped stewing over it.
To top it off, I burnt my head at No8 Bar after the game🤣
 
We were on a good run and should have bounced into the gane on high. Yet we played as if were scrapping fit a point. Contrast to dippers now who are also on a good run and they carry on. They don’t take their foot off the gas. They play cut throat football and have the crowd bouncing as well. Isn’t that the attitude we want in our game. We need to put pressure on teams especially at home. Some will say we don’t have the players yet when we were winning people said we had a great team and kulu was better than Diaz and so on. Remember Brighton are not a good team so no exscuse to not got at them!

Hate to break it to you we are not as good as Liverpool hence why they are fighting for the league and us top 4.
 
We have lost twice in the last 20 games. I know why we got beat by United (Ronaldo) but can't remember the circs of this game.
Who remembers this game?
