Match Spurs vs Brighton, Sat 8 April, 3pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Yup, if hes' alongside Skipp at 6 seconds in, that's a easy pass for Skipp and Son's through and can just kick it past Dunk to be1v1 with the keeper.

These guys have just gotten so used to not going for the opportunity.
yea fucking lazy, hes actually through there if he actually runs. at the same time on 8 seconds, skipps decided to run down a dead end instead of coming back and getting some help from team mates.

Feel like that's how Skipp should play, if Son makes the right run the space opens up. If he stops and turns backward Brighton get numbers back the opportunity is gone.

In a team full of cowards we need players to look to drive the ball into the opposition box.
 
I think there’s too many on here exaggerating how good Brighton were. We are dogshit and still beat them and it wasn’t as if they battered the door down. They didn’t get a couple of decisions but it’s usually us that get fuck all. Get it up them and their arsehole players. When did they think they aren’t allowed to get tackled. Fuck them and fuck everyone else that’s against us just now.

yea sons gave up the chance for a clear cut by not running. skipp needs to weigh it up on 8 seconds though, hes decided to go down a dead end, hes never going to take 3 players on he hasnt got the legs for it.

but youre right hes been fucked over by lazy cowards as team mates. if son does make that run and he slips him in then skipp has done amazing, instead by not making that run hes helped hang him out to dry
 
So here come the all too obvious: "every team other than Spurs were robbed, Spurs deserve nothing..." comments on BBC/Sky...

Yet when it's against us, we're told to just get on with it and stop complaining!

Kane's reaction up at Everton is gonna haunt us now till the end of the season.. And probably beyond!

Gotta say, he did milk it a bit it appeared. However, he was struck and every other player in the league reacts the same.

What really grates is nobody in the media listing Godfrey’s gouge on Kulusevski early in the game? As that happening twice surely paints a picture that Everton were overly aggressive?

Anyway, it’s mostly just media wannabes, who know piling in on Kane will guarantee page hits and profile elevation.
 
Im happy we got the 3 points, but fuck me we were lucky.
I can't stand being dominated at home by a team like Brighton.
It was a hard watch, barring the sideline antics.
Ffs every team you watch even in the champo play better than we do. We literally have no idea what to do with the ball when we start from the back. We very rarely build up the play passing in between the lines in to the oppo half. Son scored a worldie and the other was a counter although we were actually pressing high for a change. Just shows though what that can do.
We barely create any real chances. I’d just like us to get back to how we use to play and be on the front foot looking to score especially at home. This is gone on too long where have 30% of the ball at home. We pay our money to see our players who have cost much more than Brighton players be on the ball as they are meant to be better. Just think rich and porro prbly cost more than their team. That Japaneorward cost how much compared to rich? Looks far more dangerous and has great pace and control. Shocking recruitment!
 
Everyone pretty much. Everyone was narrow and deep. they outnumbered us out wide that’s where all attacks seemed to develop. The reason we couldn’t get out is because we had no options forward or out wide to stretch the game. Everyone was on top of each other, the player on the ball had nowhere to go. Son and Kulu weren’t up front doing fuck all. They were far to deep and narrow. You don’t have to be seen as a player in a certain position to play in that area
I’m surprised how deep porro plays compared to peri.
 
Not sure this is particularly spiteful ..

De Zerbi ha sfruttato tutto il lavoro di Potter al Brighton.

De Zerbi capitalized on all of Potter's work at Brighton.
Well don’t see anything wrong with that tbh? What is stellini capitalising on. His managerial record is crap on his own excluding stand in ganes for cunte. I don’t get why or how he can say that when his achieved f all.
 
yea fucking lazy, hes actually through there if he actually runs. at the same time on 8 seconds, skipps decided to run down a dead end instead of coming back and getting some help from team mates.
That’s bcos the players haven’t been coached to release the ball quick and fast. Look how many times one of our players holds on to the ball instead of just making the pass. Romero does it all the time, son and kulu as well, even harry does it when he thinks he can beat the oppo on his own. Their just now intelligence in our play. No pass and move. No one to receive the ball in good positions. Brighton do often would ping balls around in our final third finding players with little passes. We never do that!
 
Sometimes you win ugly. We have a lot of injuries that has affected how we play and our freshness / options. Winning pretty is possibly asking too much right now. We are way short on depth and form .
I don't get the begrudgement of such a win ?
We are Spurs fans right?

The flair football will come back . Lots to look forward to.
We are in a hole but we can get out of this , probably playing Europa next season but 5th if we get it with the issues we've had I'll take.

Are you on drugs? When was the last time we played with flair and dominated games?
