    Postecoglou was widely praised at the start of his Spurs tenure for giving the club an identity. Here we are mid way through his second season in charge and I no longer have a clue what that identity is.

    Bournemouth really could be made to rue these missed opportunities.They should have put the game to bed by now. They could have had three or four.

    I mean Bournemouth could, should, be 3-0 up by now. Marcus Tavernier picks Dango Ouattara out in space. His first shot is blocked and he puts his second effort over the bar.

  12. 'If you watch the replay, it's a clear foul'published at 21:52 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December

    FT: Fulham 3-1 Brighton

    Brighton & Hove Albion

    Brighton captain Lewis Dunk speaking to Amazon Prime: "It was a foul. It was the same as the one on the halfway line and in the box. I jumped for the header and he put his hands in my back. How he ref or VAR can't see it, it is what it is. It was clear. It's annoying. If you watch the replay, it's a clear foul, a push in my back.

    "I don't think the scoreline reflects the game. We picked ourselves up and I thought we were the better game but that's football. It baffles me sometimes how we have some people watching on a screen and they can't get the decision right.

    "We worked on it [formation] all week and most of us have played it before under previous managers. We need to bounce back.

    "With the game on Sunday, we can bounce straight back. We need to recover for Sunday."

    Consistently inconsistent. There's not many clubs more frustrating to support than Spurs.

  17. 'Difficult game but a big three points for us'published at 21:49 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December

    FT: Fulham 3-1 Brighton

    Fulham

    Fulham boss Marco Silva speaking to Amazon Prime: "It was a big three points for us in a tough game. We started in the best way possible with the early goal but Brighton made it really difficult for us in the first half. They started with three at the back and it made it difficult for us to connect with the wide players.

    "We had chances as well. Second half we were much better. We conceded in a moment we should prepare better for the long ball. It was a good shot from the edge of the box. Difficult game but a big three points for us.

    "It was the timings and when playing against three at the back, we have ways to go. This evening we played with Alex Iwobi in a different position. He's an offensive player and did an amazing job this evening.

    "We are waiting to stop the game for Reiss Nelson to come off but the difference of 20 seconds, he gets a hamstring injury and will be out longer than we would like. We are already without Tom Cairney. Let's see what we can do. I want players to come who can have an impact or else it's not necessary.

    "We know the budget is not like the other clubs. They've spent almost £200 million and it's not easy to do in the market. It's not the most important thing. These players deserve respect, they are doing so well.

    "You have to make the players understand everything and to follow. They have to believe it and that we are making them better players. Some players need my words. I want to say something on Josh King, he is a 17-year-old boy from our academy with a bright future."
