  4. 'We're not going to give up'published at 15:18 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2020

    Brighton 1-1 Sheffield United

    Sheffield United

    Sheffield United scorer Jayden Bogle talking to Sky Sports: "It was frustrating not to see the game out and get a massive three point sut from a personal point of view it's great to make my Premier League debut get a goal.

    "I did think we might be able to hold on because I know the the fight we've got in the team, but our attitude is to keep the ball out and work hard and fight for each other but it's a big point in a battle for us."

    "Chris [Wilder] just said to get forward when possible, get in behind and defensively keep an eye on their wide player and that was the message I go. I thought it was a great opportunity to get in the box and that's what I did.

    "We just have to keep fighting against whoever we play against. It was a great opportunity at the end but we know we need to keep working on both ends of our play.

    "We looked a bit frustrated at full-time because we know how big the three points would have been but we'll take the point and move on.

    "We're not going to give up, we're going to battle to the end. We're going to keep fighting for the manager, the player sand the club. It's a great club."

  5. 'We're disappointed'published at 15:16 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2020

    Brighton 1-1 Sheffield United

    Brighton & Hove Albion

    Brighton boss Graham Potter talking to MOTD: "We didn't make the advantage count enough - we started the game well and forced a tactical change because we dominated but the red card changes the game and we've got to make sure we don't get caught but we did which we're disappointed with. We're disappointed with a point but we've got to move forward with it.

    "Sheffield United defend the box and goal really well, they don't concede man changes, they have physicality on the break, and it's still complicated with 10 but we're disappointed because we had that advantage for a while and we have to make it count.

    "I like the effort and personality of the players, pushing and pushing, we created pressure. We deserved the equaliser and we're just disappointed we couldn't add to it.

    "It's a good finish from Danny [Welbeck] and it's been a big win for him playing three games in a week - I'm delighted for him."

    Red cardImage source, PA Media

    Brighton boss Graham Potter to Sky Sports: "We are disappointed with one point but we played really well for the first 30 minutes. We were dominant and they had to make a change.

    "The red card made it scrappy. My feeling live was it was high speed and over the ball, I was surprised it took the ref so long to make the decision.

    "Sheffield United defend well, they got bodies in to defend the goal and they made it hard. It's a point, we'll have to move forwards.

    "We had one against the bar, it wasn't easy to create chances but we did enough to score a couple. Credit to the players for pushing and showing courage on the ball."

  7. 'Got to be careful it doesn't become a non-contact sport'published at 15:12 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2020

    Brighton 1-1 Sheffield United

    Sheffield United

    Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder talking to MOTD: "There were some big moments in the game - the red card, the game has moved on and changed. I have to change with it I suppose. Players and fans still want to see contact - whether John went over that line that’s a decision to be made. I’ve got to accept that the referee thought it was a red but we’ve got to careful that it doesn’t become a non-contact sport because no stakeholders will want that.

    "It took an enormous amount of energy and organisation with 10-men against a side that moves the ball around like Brighton. We showed an ambition to score - the turning point was at 85 minutes when we didn’t take the chance to go 2-0 up.

    "It was a pleasure to watch my side at the end of the game trying to keep the ball out of the net. At times it is a simplistic game - obviously you want to score goals and we’ve struggled with that but it’s about keeping the ball out of your net and we showed we wanted to do that at the end."

    On Jayden Bogle: "It’s one to remember for the young man - he’s come into the club, and had to battle it out with George Baldock and from a tactical point of view they were causing us some problems down our right. He did a job defensively and he wanted to get himself up the pitch and support, which we did."

  8. 'It's a small step'published at 15:09 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2020

    Brighton 1-1 Sheffield United

    Sheffield United

    Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder talking to Sky Sports: "We were close to get our first win - I’m hugely disappointed that we haven’t got three points. But when you go down to 10 men that early in the game then the advantage goes to the other team and you have to put up with it."

    On the red card: "Modern-day football really and everyone will say yep - that’s what we’ve got to live with at the moment. All of us oldens will probably say 'wind the clock back and a yellow card at best' but these are the rules that we are playing too. Contact is going out of the game and if that’s the way it is then I accept that and it’s a red card."

    On taking John Fleck off in the first half: "It was a tactical change because we wanted to get another body up the pitch - they started the brighter but we did something to change the flow of the game, and it did for 10-15 minutes, but then we down to 10 men.

    "For everyone involved on the pitch and our football club it looked like it would be a long afternoon, but we got the goal and we should have seen the game out. The defining moment is that missed Oliver Burke chance at the end - in terms of winning the game.

    "I can’t be too critical of the work-rate and the effort because we tried to get up and support them, and in the last two or three minutes, I keep saying to people, and they won’t listen to me, it’s not all about playing through the lines. It’s quite a simplistic game at times, it’s about keeping the ball out of the net and that’s what my players wanted to do at the end of the game and they’ve earned the club a point

    "It’s a small step - and I’ve said to the players sometimes that’s the most difficult step to take. We need to take the attitude form Thursday and today forward for the rest of the season - it’s a platform to build on. We’ve moved on a little bit this week, it gives us a small amount of confidence and we’ve got to block out the noise and move on to the next game."

    Jose is a means to an end. The last time we won anything with any planning was 91, the last two were both a new manager bounce. If we get a trophy and instill winning mentality, we can then worry about playing with style again.

    Dan

    Getting fed up and annoyed with fellow Spurs and other fans moaning. If Spurs win today we go 2nd and they should have beaten Liverpool in the week, Spurs played good football under Poch and won nothing, people only remember winners and that’s Jose is, a winner.

    So disappointing, it was in the corner of the box away from danger. It was the Aurier of old - he's done so well this season. He's made a rash decision.

    It was all about the pace and venom in that strike, but it was coming and Leicester deserved it.

    Tom McQuillin: What is Serge Aurier thinking there? That is defending that I would be furious at in Sunday league, let alone the premier league. Disgraceful.

    James Beswick: Serge Aurier and giving away penalties recklessly. Name a more iconic combination.

    Jamie Vardy (pen)

    Jamie Vardy steps up and smashes the penalty straight down the middle.

    Btw, referee Craig Pawson came to review the incident on the pitchside monitor before awarding that penalty.

    Clumsy, very clumsy from Serge Aurier, barging into the back of Wesley Fofana in the box.

    Too many moaning Spurs fans! Let's get behind Jose. We've played more games than anyone else this season and there's still a long way to go. High pressure is not a strategy that will work well for us this year. COYS!

    After going to watch Tottenham for 53 years, I relinquished my season ticket. I'm not paying to watch "Park the bus" football. Mourinho murdering football

    This has become a really good game in the last five minutes, end to end, Leicester look good going forward but Spurs have been on the attack. It looks like whoever gets one goal wins the game.
