Brennan gotta bury that big chance at the end of the first half. 3-nil and surely we ain't losing...actually fuck me, we still might have.
Mads never had stamina and ptobs never will. Guy runs about for 60 mins and he's gassing worse than David Haye in his last 5 fights.
It’s more that the ones who have completely ignored the last 5 games and stayed quiet will be out in full force, lapping up this loss and loving every minute of being able to say “I told you so” and slaying Ange.
He hasn’t done himself any favours with that second half performance
At half time we looked like we would be 1 point of 4th... Disappointing result but Brighton are a good team and had a full weeks rest and preparation.
Well, in short it's executing his style of play (like we did brilliantly in the first half) and winning games. The total capitulation in the second half is not just down to Ange, lots of individual errors in defence and our big players are not showing enough character to rise to the occasion when it gets really tough.
When people made the Redknapp comparisons a few months ago. A few disciples took that as slander.
Redknapp was a hell of a motivator and players loved him.. And he would take us anywhere and everywhere with Bale, Lennon, Modric and Van Der Vaart as 4 of our midfield 5. And when it worked it was absolutely electric. And when our tails were up we could be unstoppable for a few games.. However, when momentum shifted, we couldn't shift it back and were on the end of some ugly ugly days.
Has there ever been a comparison more apt?
It doesn't mean that the current manager is a clown or a fraud or any other pejoratives people want to throw his way. It doesn't mean that he needs to go now..
Redknapp was a good manager for us for a few years. But the lack of tactical sophistication meant that as fun as it was in those 4 years at times.. We had a clear ceiling.

Just a case of the players thinking they have cracked it and are invincible and bang they are quickly brought back to earth
Mentality issues? Oh yes
It's always has been an issue at this club and will never change no matter who the manager, who the players are or what kind of football is played.
Just chill out and enjoy the roller coaster ride, it's only football

I'm pretty sure "normal service has been resumed" was a chant used by those fucking Gooners as and whenever we lost...
I can CLEARLY see you're not one of them... due to you telling me you're not...
But maybe think about the terminology you use... 'cos it sounds a little joyous to me!
Anyway, aren't you supposed to be the racist/inappropriate one...?
I'm sure that's what you were banned for?
Spurs, eh?
Look what they've done to us AGAIN!
You will watch, and you will enjoy. End of.
Because he doesn't have a plan B.
Bentancur was struggling all game, first half he lost the ball and they had 2 chances from those turnovers.
He could have made the Sarr and Bissouma subs at 2-2. Gone 4231.
But it's same formation.
Waited for us to go down 3-2, by which time Hurzeler decided to sensibly change and go low block and we created nothing from that.
I thought Brighton were suicidal playing high line in the first half.
The Udogie mistake gives them early hope fro the first goal.
But the game was lost because we are too easy to get around the outside and the defence is reliant too much on 1v1 defending. You lose those battles and there's no cover or structure to get you out of it. That's the risk you take when you play this open. Romero was total shit too.
I don’t see where the high line was the issue today. Just really poor defending.
That true but why do we have huge melting moments under Harry, Poch, Jose, Conte and now Ange. We have been mentally weak since I can remember except maybe one season under Poch. All clubs have periods but we seem a bit chronic.
The biggest need is a leader on that pitch for us.
We see it time and time again, that we have the capacity to crumble.It shouldn't be like that and until it's rectified we are going to have days like this.
Strewth.

I don't think anyone was expecting to win the prem were they? Still in all cups and a favourite in one...Ange's 2nd season lads
Don't take it personally Ange we have ruined better managers than you
Coventry - poor performance, could've lost that.
Qarabag - half decent team scores minimum 3 against us, we were shit.
Ferencvaros - yeah yeah played the kids & all that, still the Hungarians deserved get a draw...at the very least.
United - lol. My Sunday pub league team would've won too.
get to fuck you prick, you went on strike to get out of spurs
I kinda agree but the squad alternatives aren’t good enough.
For me, I hold Romero to a higher standard than Udogie because we know what he is capable of. But this season he seems to fail at some of the core duties of a Premier League defender. I wouldn’t object to selling him (provided we got top dollar) and reinvest in someone more consistent.
