It's going to get a lot worse for Spurs though. Not because of the player unrest but the stadium move will be a burden in the short-long term. No matter how much money they generate, if you don't win or have winners in place, players will not readily join the club and the structure in place will stifle Pochettino. He will get frustrated.

They peaked in 15/16 imo, that was the moment for them. Everything nearly came to place.

How are Spurs losing 2-0?
Brighton playing very well. Spurs can't get anything going.

Loris seriously injured and back up goalie looks nervy as hell.

Not sure why people are freaking out regarding Spurs fans wanting rid of Poch now. Mourinho at Chelsea during that season is a prime example that he needs replaced. Despite the amazing things he’s done it just looks like the end of the road.

Exactly. People act like because a manager has been great in the past a club should just stick with him even when clearly it’s just stopped working.


This is the same manager who would’ve left if we won the CL and has looked miserable for well over a season, but apparently we’re meant to stick with him because of what he’s achieved in the past. It’s stupid.

More accomplished managers have been removed for less than the way we are performing right now.

Whether Poch wanted the job or not, I think his fate was sealed the moment the final whistle went in Paris last year.

Can't help but wonder where we would be now if Rashford missed the penalty.
We're exactly where we should be, Paris or not.Would Woody have backed Poch? Would he have given our youngsters a chance?

Nope.

Serious doubts about his ability have not exactly been assuaged(?) in the last year or so.
He's a fantastic coach and builder who helped Spurs to punch way above their weight considering the relatively limited money compared to the other top clubs. He just reached the end of his cycle there, it happens to any coach. Even Guardiola.

He'd be a perfect fit for a United rebuild atm. If he wants the job, that is.

Mooy and Montoya have been outstanding

3-0 looks more likely than 2-1 at this stage

BHA have been brilliant. Wish United could play half as good as this.

Lloris made a bad mistake 2.5 minutes in and landed badly, damaging his arm. Took over five minutes to care for him; Spurs haven’t been with it all match, though that might be at least partly down to seeing their team-mate in such pain.

They are arguably lucky to only be 2-0 down. Brighton have also been good.

HT. Great stuff so far from Brighton and not going to get carried away, as anything can happen in the second half.

But Brighton have been so unlucky to not get more points so far this season, this would be a huge victory for Potter.

So pleased for Connolly too. He's been class in PL2 and has looked a handful today.

Not sure if there's any NBA fans here but the Lloris arm injury looked a lot like Andrew Bogut's from back in the day. That's probably to worst injury I've seen in terms of making me queasy. Hope he can get back but it'll be a challenge. It ruined Bogut's career and caused all sorts of issues.

I didn’t see the Lloris injury but if it’s anything like it’s a long road back for him.

Me in a heartbeat. Would prefer him to have a few months rest before he comes though
If Ole goes I would rather have Graham Potter at United to be honest. He turned a Swedish village outfit to almost champions and even managed to beat Arsenal at the Emirates. And now he is making Brighton look like Liverpool 2.0 without having the players for it. How Brighton press is equivalent to what Liverpool does but with lesser players. Its really impressive.
