Tottenham plays brightly and allows a lot to the opponent. It’s not the first or the last time they’ve been punished for their openness and high pressing. Postecoglou’s wards, having squandered a two goal advantage in 15 minutes, not only allowed Brighton to make an unbelievable comeback, but also broke their streak of five consecutive victories.
Between the first and second victory of West Ham in the championship passed four rounds and almost a month and a half. In that time, the Hammers managed to get knocked out of the League Cup and received some painful blows in the Premier League. Julen Lopetegui faced a wave of criticism and urgently needed a good result. Before the international break, he managed to bring his team to its senses. First, it looked good against Brentford, and then gave the best match of the season against Ipswich. It’s just embarrassing that West Ham look absolutely unconvincing against really strong opponents.
