Brighton demolished Tottenham in Premier League game like I expected. Final result was 4:2 and it could be 6:1 after first half. Reason why it is not is Tottenham goalkeeper Viccario who was massively let down by teammates in this game. He is the only one who deserved some credit for first half saves, only one who showed up in Brighton yesterday in first half. He made very good save in 5th minute and deflected strong shot of alone player from inside the box. He made miraculous saving in 6th minute despite he almost already dived in other corner. He stood up and saved shot in other side making Wellbeck breathing like fish on dry with open mouth. It was again alone player. He saved us 2 times but his team mates were so eager to concede goal like they bet on Brighton score 2 or more before HT, that they soon let another Brighton player alone inside the box to shot and this time Italian couldn't do anything. It was 1:0. Soon after his Sunday league team mates didn't bother to jump after corner and ball hit post, deflected to Brighton player who sent it inside 5m where suffering Dejan Kulusevski pulled Wellbeck for penalty. Brighton player would score easy tap in if he didn't do that. Referee didn't point to the spot but VAR called him and after checking on monitor it was penalty. Home side scored for 2:0. We saw one post and one more miraculous save after Brighton player Pedro Porro made 100% chance for home side with excellent pass in space for Seagul forward. I just don't understand why did he wear Tottenham shirt when he played for Brighton ? Home player went alone in front of Vicario who somehow deflected that ball to corner keeping disinterested suffering Tottenham players still in the game.
We all knew defense will be poor, but this level of non marking, leaving opponents alone and making them free shooting arena in first half was to much for me. Midfield of Invisible Sarr and Juventus player Hoojbjerg didn't do anything. Kulusevski didn't do anything, Son was off while Johnson deserved paragraph for himself. Only who tried something was Richarlison whose one attempt ended on outer part of post.
Brennan Johnson
This fraud from Nottingham, this selfish little piece of s*t, this over payed microbe did something unimaginable, something which should transfer him into reserves in every other team straight away. Near the end of first half he got the ball, it was 3 on 1 situation. He had opponent in front of him and two team mates alone in the middle, but why would he pass to the best finisher in league Son when he can get blocked in his pathetic attempt to kick ball on target ? I couldn't understand that even if we lead 5:0, but doing that when you are 2:0 down is just from another world. If he is still under warranty I'd return him to manufacturer Nottingham and take money back if you know what I mean. He missed 5m sitter in last game and he does this now ?! This was totally unacceptable, but this shows his true colors of one little selfish idiot who has nothing a part from pace. Prick if you think to do this here return to Nottingham! I can't believe someone brought him here and payed him over 40 million.
If we scored that like every other club would we'd return into the game on half time and maybe get something from this game. It would be totally non deserved, but it could happen if we had some normal player on right side. Brennan Johnson shame on you!
We started to play in second half. I think we were much better, but when you play like that in first half luck abandons you. Dejan setup chance but Udogie didn't score from 5m. His bad affort straight into goalkeeper was easily deflected. Richarlison scored two disallowed goals for half step offside. I am not sure if it is his fault or Kulusevski sent ball to late. One Richarlison attempt ended up just near the post. In the middle of our dominance we conceded third goal. It was world class shot by Estupinan. From around 25 m from narrow angle he found place where crossbar and post connect. Viccario was not able to save this and rocket ended inside the net for 3:0 and game over. Only then Ange started to change things, removed prick from Nottingham and put Lo Celso in and moved Dejan on right wing. Alas Lo Celso soon after made stupid penalty proving Jose Mourinho words he is very good on ball but very bad without it. Brighton didn't reject this gift and increase result to 4:0.
I am not sure if home side stopped to play after that or we showed "character", but it was dread and fear for them until the end. Dejan tackled Dunk won the ball and stayed laying on pitch, ball came to Son who founded young Veliz alone in the box and Argentinian somehow put ball inside the net for 4:1. He knew how to celebrate his first goal in Tottenham shirt. Few away fans who didn't go out of stadium saluted him. Moment after after corner Ben Davies won Dunk in aerial duel and scored header from back post for 4:2. Home side went into dread and fear mode, Hojbjerg hit post, we had couple of more chances, but lack knowledge and luck to put ball inside the net for "beautiful result" of 4:3. Brighton player in away shirt Pedro Porro sent few balls in goal kicks, Kulusevski did it couple of times too making me calling him predecessor of homo sapiens if you know what I mean...
If plan was to make Arsenal players dead laugh and unable to play vs West Ham plan worked 100% as they also lost 0:2 against West Ham increasing my mood after this Sunday league first half performance. I liked second half, but like I said I am not sure if that was consequence of our "character" or they simply stopped to play after 4:0.
What Conte would tell "I don't want to see this what I saw here today in the future". That was poor, pathetic, suffering and totally unacceptable. This showed us what kind of reserve players we have. Some of them are not guilty because they can't play football, one who brought them and keep them is. Massive action in January transfer window must happen or we will watch this until February.
