Match Brighton & Hove Albion vs Tottenham Hotspur - Sunday 6th October - 16:30KO

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I don't blame VDV or Romero. Why would you play to a point that you get injured when your manager keeps playing Kamakazi Football. VDV will do his hamstrings again if he is expected to run full tilt for 45 min of a 90 min game. Why would Romero risk injury at Spurs, when he is winning World Cups with Argentina?

Ange and his Shitty tactics and Levy buying the next young generational talent is the reason for us loosing. Players can only take that much before they start playing just for the paycheck.

Ps: that Marmoush was incredible (again) vs Bayern...2 goals, 1 assist, plenty running at the Munchen defenders who just shat themselves all game. Would've been gettable for circa 25 mil summer just gone. But no you can have Werner for 170k a week and a fringe PL kid for 30+.

I'm happy with the Odobert signing but yes, the Werner signing when Marmoush was right there and Richy is in no shape to play...

scandalous.

I don't dislike the kid, but no way we shoulda spent 30 big ones on Odobert, that's just silly. That was a 10 mil + bonuses signing...Burnley said no, tell them to do one.

It's not that we don't spend money, it's that we don't have a fucking clue how to spend it. How much has been wasted the past decade? Unreal.

We're the jokes club of the PL.

One thing I can't fathom is making conservative subs at the 80min mark when the game's out of reach and we need a goal.....

Expecting Biss at 79mins to change the game when 3-2 down when the oppo has already banked down in a 442 is baffling, but then merely swapping Madz for Moore with 5mins to go is just weak. Ange gets constantly ragged on for being gung-ho; but where is the bravery in that scenario? .......That's some dismal Conte type shit!

..........Take a defender off and try to rescue a point FFS!



Please, someone offer up a tactical theory....... Just something even half plausible to restore a little faith.

Miss should have been on after the first goal. It bemuses me that Ange doesn't play a DM !!

Levy doesn’t like sections of the crowd having a go

We need everyone to have a right go, like never seen before. Boo that mug from start to finish next home game, LevyOut chants and all. Then same again the week after that, and the one after that. Get ex-players and managers who truly adore the club on board that train. More importantly, hit that cunt where it's really gonna hurt him...stop buying shit at the ground and various club shops.

He must go. Same for friggin Donna and all that useless lot upstairs.

Make it that unbearable on every levels that he'll have no choice.

Relegated side. They needed the cash. Could've sent someone like Parrott (transfer) and Devine (loan) the other way.

No way he's worth 30mil at this moment in time. Like Richy never was a 60 mil player. But our decision-makers are fucking stupid.

He definitely is mate.

Odobert will end up a senor France international before long. He's already pretty much the best player in their u21's and has several seasons of experience, including the PL.

We paid the going rate.

On paper.

He was born in NYC to Brazilian parents and moved back to Brazil permanently at 3 months old. He plays for the USMNT because they were able to guarantee him a spot on a team which should qualify for the WC every cycle, but he's Brazilian. Even wears his first name on the back of his shirt.

Ok, didn't know that. Thanks. There are a few Brazilian DMs I can think of. Gilberto Silva, Edmilson, Mauro Silva, Dunga, Mauro Galvao.

If his can get himself in a list like that I'd be fairly happy.

I think you've lost perspective of the current players market. Bournemouth paid £13M for Ünal, Brighton paid £16M for Osman, and West Ham paid £26M for Guilherme.

With parachute payments and the greater need to bounce back up straight away to get back in the money, relegated clubs aren't going to just sell their players on the cheap.
