Brighton 1-2 Tottenham

Former Liverpool midfielder on Match of the Day
I was really surprised by Brighton's approach. When a team is low on confidence like Spurs you have an obligation to get after them and test them.
I understand respecting a good opposition - you can't just run around and press for the sake of it - but in the beginning of the game Brighton didn't impose themselves. Paulo Gazzaniga and the Spurs defence had too many touches with no pressure on. It set the tone for the game.
You've got to start on the front foot and then you can take your foot off the gas. I was disappointed by Brighton.
