If you can't be good, be fucking lucky.

Fortunate to get a point, and I'll take it. But another shocking mistake in a big game, for Ramseys goal. What Sanchez was thinking, I have no clue, naive beyond belief. Happens almost every big game, stupid fucking mistakes from someone.

Be thankful for the point, and pray Dele gets fit asap, because we're seriously missing his threat going forward.....COYS

Wonder if Eriksen is missing having Dele as his foil?

Dele can be often maligned on here, but he has nice movement and finishing and whereas Eriksen is about passing range, Dele balances this being the more direct goal threat and also contributes a lot to our one touch movement.

Not making excuses for Eriksen mind, but wondered if it was a factor.

Dele is a big miss overall. He brings unpredictability which helps Son and Eriksen with space.

One bonus for us is that Arsenal play United next. One or both will drop points.

The refs are trying to figure this dilemma as we speak...

Why do so many people not know how to spell ‘lose’? It actually takes more effort to type ‘loose’ and makes you look like an idiot too (or ‘to’ as they’d probably write).

Levy should give Verts a new contract soon. He may be getting on in his years but he’s a lot better and classier than other younger players in the squad.

I see the knee jerk brigade is out swinging again. Once again some absolute sh*te is talked about our own players and our manager. We're not in turmoil and the sky isn't falling down on us. We're just horribly out of form. That's it. And it's been a long time coming.

Pretty much everything and everyone have been against us this season. The new stadium delay, no incoming players two windows in a row, selling Dembele, injuries to key players, post WC hang over and the list goes on. Considering we're third in the league 4 points above Arsenal and we're still in the CL with a very good chance of going further in the competition - We're overachieving when you take everything in to perspective.

This group of players and Pochettino have brought a new renaissance to this club, show them some respect and give them the benefit of a doubt and they'll sort it out.

Peace.

Needed such sanity post amidst the swearing after the loss to chelscum. But guess it wasn't too late today.

70% possession in our favour when they scored.

150% of which was our CBs dicking about at the back.

We had 60% of the possession.

Most of that was our CBs playing it from side to side.

To dare is to do, and we are not daring

Weird how we had so much of the game yet so many in here are tearing their hair out.

Agree with Harry. Can’t believe the negative posts on here. We played poorly our last two games but fought Arsenal all the way and deserved to win IMO.

We didn’t create enough to deserve to win. We didn’t even deserve the penalty!

As i said in the 1st half & got some negative ratings an awful refereeing display. We finally get a pen & red card about 50 mins too late & he still tries to gift them the win. Well done Hugo. Take the point with that ref but we deserved all 3

Haddock, I don't see that much unqualified lambasting going on, to be honest.

People saying 'we're shit' is pretty much the same as saying 'we're horribly out of form'. Some might not use the same articulation as yourself in expressing that, but I think the motive is the same.

Additionally, I think part of the grumbling and the sourness might stem from the fact that we recognise that we have improved and are now in that phase where we want that improvement to translate into not having really bad slumps like we have had recently. All teams go through times of poor form, but the best teams manage it. We're not managing it very well right now and I think that's getting people's backs up a little.

And finally we were in a little bit of a twilight situation (as in neither light nor dark, not that vampire horseshit). Until this week, we were significantly ahead of the chasing pack while also being (slightly less) significantly behind the leaders. That's now reversed, but we're still hovering around. And that can fuel an anxiety in the fanbase, because of the pressure to try and catch those ahead and try and stay ahead of the chasing pack, so focus is split two ways.

I think maybe we can cut each other a little slack. Respect.

It's good to have you back, spurgz.

They're all loosers.

Eriksen using us as a stepping stone? You don't spend this long at a club if that was the case. Personally I think he misses the movement of Alli. He'll start performing again when our attack is back in full force.

I don't need your help thanks... entitlement has everything to do with it, and I find it quite odd.

Anyway I'm off to the pub to laugh at some of those slags...you enjoy your afternoon shouting into the internet

Nobody shouting here,just talking sense, maybe after a few you can figure it

Nah, he was poor when Dele was fit.
His mind is elsewhere imo.
