Summary
The Athletic's Jack Pitt-Brooke and James Maw reflect on Spurs' abysmal 1-0 defeat to Brighton on Sunday. Was it the worst moment of the Mourinho era?
They debate why Spurs are so bad without Kane, Mourinho's struggles defensively, and the alienation of fringe players.
There's also a look ahead to the Chelsea game on Thursday, and The Athletic's South-American expert Jack Lang joins the show to talk about his recent interview with Sandro.

| 0:02.7 | Hello and welcome to The View from the Lane, our Tottenham-Hosburgh podcast from The Athletic. |
