Tottenham has been humiliated in Brighton again which is slowly becoming tradition every season. They have lost match against average team like Brighton easily with result of 3:2. Defeat has been totally deserved after refusing to play football and vanishing off the pitch in second half. We are too good, we lead 2:0, we already won, we don't need to play anything, we will drop back and just kick long balls forward and wait for time to pass, we won't press them on their half, we will drop backward but will still hold high line too far away from goal. That was probably what happen in those chicken brains of those overrated players.

Sunday leagye player Timo Werner failed to make pass to Johnson in this situation

Spurs started game well, had 3 chances in first 6-7 minutes, but when you have Timo Werner in squad then you have illusion you have 11 men on pitch, while in reality you have 10. Angelos Postecoglou's "great signing", "who is doing all right and contributing "and Tottenham fanses "no brainer signing", "great backup option" showed his true colors in this game as soon as in 1st minute. We all knew he can't finish chance even if his life depends on that, but he showed also he can't pass toward alone team mate when he is alone on the left. He got perfect ball in space, he didn't have opponent 3 meters around, he had Brenan Johnson alone inside the box, but he sent wrong ball and we didn't took the lead! It was pathetic, suffering play of excuse of a player who is stealing living with 200,000 Euro salary in Spus. This is kind of player ENIC, Daniel Levy, Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham journalists love! If Spurs have serios coach he would be substituted in second minute and catapulted back to Germany! This was not his only criminal piece of football last night. In other situation he had ball on opponent half left ball, moved forward and fell on the ground without contact with opponent! What a skill! Man can't even stand on his feet! Fact that he made short pass for Maddison which you and I could do and that he overrun opponent couple of times just to give ball away with bad cross doesn't mean anything! He is crap footballer and pure man down on the pitch!

In those first couple of minutes Kulusevski and Maddison got blocked inside 5 meters when they tried to score. First half we dominated and pressed them hard and scored two goals after Dom Solanke's great balls in space for Johnson and Werner, First connected Johnson with goal, he was alone in front of goalkeeper and scored 6th goal in 6 games. Second ball in space was on the left to Werner who made short pass toward Maddison who scored goal with shoot from around 16. meters. It was more like goalkeeper poor intervention than some great shoot, but goal is goal 2:0. Johnson had one more big chance too, but he fired up ball above crossbar. On the other hand Brighton had one good shoot by Mitoma saved by Vicario, one to fast cross inside the box again from their left side and one good header which ended up very close, but wide of goal. It looked like we have this game under control and that we can make dangerous attacks whenever we want. Spurs played lovely in the midfield, pressed good and dominated them!

Spurs players "high press" in second half! Only Solanke is doing that!

I don't know what happen on half time, but situation changed for 180 degrees in second half. Estupinan came in and Brighton started to dominate. There was no press on opponent half any more, players stood like poles on their own half, but still kept high line to far away from goal and they had been punished! Not only they do that, but they returned Brighton into life by sick missing of the ball by the worst player on the pitch after Werner - Destiny Udogie. It was again penetration on their left side where Mitoma ran riot against Pedro Porro, he worked him out like he's under 18 years old player sent cross, suffering Van de Ven missed ball despite two legs tackle, then Udogie had easy task to clear ball going straight into him, but he missed it in amateur way and Y. Minteh told him "thank you boy" on Italian and fired it inside closer corner of Vicario's goal for 2:1. VIcario didn't bother to try to cover at least closer corner but stood like pole and dived only when ball started to move, but it was powerful shoot and he didn't have a chance. When your return other side into life like that it usually don't end up good and indeed it didn't.

Destiny Udogie missed entire ball and failed to clear this situation and returned Brighton into life!

Spurs had only one to fast cross toward Solanke in entire half. That was just promising attack finished with to fast pass. Soon after it was 2:2 after ball came again from the left outside of the box where Bentancur was sleeping behind Brighton player, but could foul him, but "the best defender in the world" Romero abandoned his position and left gap trying to intercept ball, but failed. One skillful touch and ball was in feet of Router (?!) who made move like he will go right making Van de Ven kiss Udogie then moves on other side and fired powerful shot in away corner of Vicario goal under Van de Ven who was unable to block him! Someone would think they will start to play like in first half now, but no, they continued what they did entire second half.

Then ultimate humiliation happen. One Brighton player got ball on right side, kicked it though the legs of Destiniy Udogie sending him back to Italy, ran toward line, Bentancur came closer, but didn't do what he should to prevent him from playing, Romero looked all of that disinterested, but Brighton player made high cross from tackle, Welbeck moved away from "the best defender in the world" to do header tap in from like 3-4 meters of goal for 3:2 and game over! There were more dangerous situations in front of Tottenham goal, but result remained the same.

Destiny Udogie opened his tunnel for ball
disinterested Bentancur allowing cross from this position while more disinterested Romero is watching that.
All alone Welbeck doing tap in for 3:2 against disinterested sorry Spurs side

Ange Postenoclue watched that like cow on pasture and didn't do anything until 3:2 and then he pulled out Maddison (!?), Bentancur and finally Werner to send Bissouma, Sarr and Moore on the pitch! Of course they didn't do anything until the end and that was it! Spurs were literally routed in second half by Brighton who missed a lot of first team players in according to coach "the worst half of football they have played since he arrived in club".

What Conte would say "When you are not a team anything can happen in any moment!" That was exactly what happen they stopped to be a team. Away fans were of course rightfully pissed off after this non performance while happy home fans chanted "Tottenham get battered everywhere they go". Sad reality is that Romero is not even close to player we thought he is. He looks like he doesn't care about this club. He was awful against Leicester and walked near Vardy to let him score, he was no better vs Newcastle, allowed to be pushed against Arsenal and we conceded goal and now he did this. Udogie was shocking, to fail to kick ball and clear it like he did, to spread legs like he did that was unacceptable performance. Bentancur looked not very interested in what's happening on the pitch in second half and switched off, Porro got roosted by Mitoma on his side, Werner is Sunday league amateur footballer. They looked like someone powerful enough on the dressing room ordered them not to play football in second half. I wouldn't exclude that possibility. Maybe someone became filthy rich after bet on HT/FT 2/1 ? Who knows ? This bunch of Overbearing ignoramuses are not going to win anything this season. I wish them happy international break!
