Match Threads Arsenal Vs Spurs

[glacierSpurs]

Ref probably didn’t see it, and VAR doesn’t review potentials yellows and free kicks

Incredible if he didn't see it in all honesty. Son was wrestling with him for the ball and all eyes were on them.

 

[Mr Pink]

We're normally stronger in the second half as well.

 

[JayB]

Largely playing out how Conte wants, but I can't help but wish we had more of a foothold in midfield.

 

[Joely]

I’d worry about him against Martinelli.

Weirdly enough Martinelli named Spence as his toughest opponent ever. Spence completely shut him out in their tie against Forest last season.

We look dangerous on the break and could have had more if our final pass had been better. Hojbjerg and Bentancur have been great, in my opinion, getting through mountains of work and being outnumbered. The wide areas are a worry though. Royal is offering nothing as he’s easy to breeze past and kills our attacks. If he’s not going to defend well then we might as well get a more attacking wing back on. All in all though, after a slow start I think we’ve been OK. They will fly at us again at the start of the second half - if we can withstand that then I think we’ve got a great chance here

I feel like we are gonna to concede every time they attack. But feel we are gonna score every time we break the press.

 

[King of the Lane]

Its been a very even half. Either side could have scored again.

We need to cover the right wing more effectively and get a bit tighter so that we dont have a repeat of Partey's goal.

 

[L-man]

Survive the 15-20 min onslaught and nerves & doubts will creep in for the players and that’ll transcend into the stands. We can pick them off late on here

 

[felmani26]

So long as we remain resolute, keep Arsenal outside our box and don't provide any brainfarts then i'm increasingly confident we can not only go away with a point, but all 3.

Crowd already getting tetchy is ideal in a derby so don't give them anything to galvanise them early second half please!

 

[rossdapep]

Keep targetting Zinchenko, he's weak defensively and as he tucks in he's leaving spaces for us.

We need to do better in the final third at times. Still not completely firing

 

[DenverSpur]

Well the good news is we all turned up which given recent games there is a big plus. I thought we contained them quite well only for them to go ahead from a worldie right on 20 minutes.
We upped our attacking game and got ourselves level and from there I thought we just edged being the more dangerous side.
It’s all to play for in the second half. Keep playing the way we have and we’re in the a shot as overall I felt we were the most dangerous attack wise and we tend to be better in the second half.

 

[MightySpurs]

First 25-30 min, we are way to low for my liking…
But better last 15- hope we keep the momentum in 2 half

You could say this pretty much in every match we’ve played this season lol

 

[God&Texas]

He did though. Raised arm for the foul but played the advantage.

 

[Tonio]

I did sweat a bit when Sonny decided to pirouette into our own box when trying to play out.

 

[rossdapep]

Actually, whilst Arsenal have had a lot of the ball, they've been a bit poor with it.

I was half expecting to be under immense pressure and whilst we have sat back, I dont feel like they have played with intensity that makes you feel you're going to concede at any minute

 

[Flobadob]

They will run out of steam. We’ve got this

 

[mpickard2087]

Defensively it hasn't been as comfortable today. Obviously got to expect a bit more of a test against a Top 6 rival but the defending has been a bit desperate and wild at times as we try and snuffle out an opening. Also think Arsenal are being quite canny in working space around the box - out wide then back inside as we overcommit trying to shuffle across - for a shot from a decent area and we do need to get out a bit quicker. Apart from the goal there were 4 or 5 other opportunities to hit one from the edge of the box. You can say we'll take our chances and these are really low percentage to go in, but keep giving top level pro footballers that many sighters from 20-22 yards and you can't be surprised we were eventually punished.

With the ball it's more of the same as far as this season goes, barbecuing decent counters and transitions. Two were fucking wonderful chances, in the big games you aren't going to get that many chances to squander. We have to sharpen up that final/decisive pass/moment.

 

[spurs mental]

Felt the peno was a bit out of nowhere off of a chaotic rebound. We didn’t create any other clear cut chances. On the other hand if we had a bit more quickness in the final 3rd the gaps are there.

Perisic blazed one wide, Richy had a shot saved and Ramsdale made a good save from the early free kick from Richy too.

Our final ball or decision making is slightly off - if we can improve that, then we will score. They do look dangerous though and clearly targetting Emeron
