It’s fucking hard to come on and get up to speed with the game. Even harder as a striker

We wouldnt have if bergwijn had played instead of emerson. If the aim for our wingbacks is to give us more in attack, its such an easy choice to pic bergwijn ahead of emerson.
We are a shit pressing team as we showed today. Just couldn’t win the ball back. Need to figure out how to beat possession teams that don’t give us chances to transition.
I think Conte should change line up. No body passes the ball to Royal and for a good reason, this makes the team half paralysed going forward. Conte should play 4 4 2, Royal can defend but can't do much with the ball. Then we can have Berg or Lucas at the right doing something with the ball going forward. Even Reg is not much better...
Not sure why anyone is upset at how Brighton played, they played their game plan to perfection and if Spurs had done the same the result would have been different,for a team at home with superior players (allegedly) not to have a single shot on goal v a team comfortably safe with so much at stake is the only disgusting thing about today.
Spurs never seemed to be able to cope with Brightons formation and the fact that Brighton did indeed waste every second the could is just how it is,Spurs were not clever enough to exploit the wide open spaces and Brighton just seemed to want to win more,which is just baffling.
I have to say Bissouma really is a player worth a punt and not much at all got past Cuccarella if anything,did a Spurs player have a good game today? Hopefully a lesson learned, because another performance like that and say goodbye to CL football next season.

The only good thing to come out of today was Wellbeck not scoring.
Can't believe how bad that was today I'm still in shock the performance of some was shocking. To be in the position of 4th and it was like a meaningless game. The whole team was bad but kane didn't look like he wanted to be there at all unreal to be honest.
It's been coming if we're totally honest. We've had a few really, really poor first halves against meh to average opponents but then had a moment of magic. Then we've been ultra clinical and excellent when teams (foolishly) throw caution to the wind and open up. If you give Kane & Kulu space and time to find players we will tear you apart.
That's us as a team atm. Hopefully it's enough for top 4 and then Conte in the summer gets the resources to add more strings to our bow. We need to be capable of exerting more control over these teams rather than relying on breaks, and we need to have midfielders and wing backs capable of providing better support.

Reguillion
PEH
Emerson
Doherty
I've said it many times and I'll keep.saying it. Start with any of these you can not compete for honours.
Winks
Lucas
Gollini
Have to bring these players on to save games and you can't compete period.

Brighton found passes to midfield. We didn’t. Bentancur and PEH were hiding. Everytime Romero had the ball first half he only had Royal to pass forward to, which he didn’t because he doesn’t trust him and went sideways instead. They also put Bissouma in front of Kane which nullified any threat there to feet. Made us play aimless long punts into channels
Massive problem is also there is nothing really on the bench and a team like us fighting for 4th there should be
Just got back from the game , 200 mile round trip . Very disappointing performance , bit of a no show . Still could of been worse if the goons had won . Got to dust ourselves off and get that one out of the system . COYS
Fair play pal it was painful watching on TV
I think we have been underestimating his value to the team recently. His partnership with Kulu has been great
Results have flattered us of late. We got away with poor halves vs Newcastle and villa but we weren't going to keep getting away with it. We were so Uninspiring lacked energy and commitment. The fans tried today but the players let us down. Conte needs to be more flexible when plan A isn't working brighton completely had our number today. Hard to single anybody out in particular as I'd say everybody barring Davies had an absolute shocker. Fucking woeful.
