I got slammed for saying we’ve spent nearly a Billion, without the tiniest thought, hey we don’t need a Goalscorer, like f**k we do, we didn’t need Mudryk, Caceido or Lavia, Broja is more accomplished than Jackson, a creative midfielder in th 10 role in front of Gallagher and Enzo, we should of gone balls deep on Osimhen, at least we could moan properly if it didn’t work, we looked like an energetic U21s team  trying to play with the big boys 🙈🙈🙈

I don't disagree with a lot of this, and I like Broja. But realistically Broja's stock has risen the longer he hasn't been playing. I am not convinced that he will suddenly provide the goals that we are missing. I think the returns of Reece, Carney and Nkunku will help more in that regard. We definitely need an experienced striker though. Jackson has potential but is way too inexperienced to be our main striker.

 
Looking for some positives out of a poor game, we didn't lose against a team who we have slipped up against several times in recent memory, we kept a clean sheet, and Palmer once again looked decent when he came on.

Wasn’t it effectively a Brighton 2nd team that mauled Man Utd yesterday? Sure Mitoma & Estupian played.

It’s the slow transition that is killing us. Ange hasn’t done anything dramatic to transform Spurs, it’s just get it up the pitch as quickly as possible. With us  we keep passing it around aimlessly. You bet we are top of the possession stats.

Mitoma started. Estupinan did not - neither did March, Ferguson or Gilmour. Six changes on all from the side that thrashed Newcastle to the side that thrashed United.

Enzo continued his great run of goals and assists, as well. 

 
Speaks volumes that the likes of Chris Wood or Keiffer Moore could improve this team.

Unlike the last game we did not lose against a fellow relegation rival.

Positive is Sanchez is looking better than Kepa.

He probably is. Not so much as 'Brighton's third choice GK' s a GK who wasn't comfortable with the new regime at Brighton ............. not so much de Zerbi, maybe, but certainly with de Zerbi's GK coach. On th other hand, Ben Roberts had been his mentor from an early age - and now he's back with Roberts at Chelsea. He is actually a very good goalkeeper - probably most will recognose that thhey actually got a pretty good GK at a very good price. He's not even that bad with his feet ................

Exactly. It makes no f**king sense. Maybe it's just a confidence and settled team issue. Brighton have been fortunate with very few long term injuries. Meanwhile we can't keep a settled team because key player after key player gets injured. It does help to have that confidence and momentum. Newcastle had it last season, but this season they have it a little less so.

Very few long term injuries? Lamptey out for most of last season, Webster out for half of it, Moder out for all of last season and no sign of getting back in the near future, Enciso out for a large part of this season, Mwepu out never to play again ............................ teams have players out injured. Just how it is........

 
Year after year, manager after manager, million after million we continue these totally shameful performances.

Blaming Putin invading Ukraine as the reason our football club was stolen from a Russian, is like me taking Dereks wallet at the pub just because I didn’t like his style of trousers!

A good point against our peers. 4 points above the relegation zone, and although two of the the current bottom three have games in hand, we have crucial points on the board.

 
The whole Roman argument is ridiculous. We have spent more in 12 months than he did in twelve years. It’s nobody’s fault outside the club. We absolutely wasted an atrocious amount of money on players that are not now and never will be good enough to win things or even nearly win things. End of.

We’ve got less chance of winning another title than Russel Brand has of winning Strictly Come Dancing.

Does anyone agree with Pochettino and Disasi after the game when they said we deserved to win?

Why? Cause Gallagher missed 2 sitters, Jackson hit the post, Sterling the bar and Colwill was not professional enough to stay onside for the tap in?

That is on us. Our keeper was man of the match, so how exactly did that display merit a win. A draw was a fair result.
