Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal - Match Thread - Day 11

Boring boring tottenham!


My arse, nothing more exciting than a high speed counter attack.

I remember that Henry goal against us that started by our penalty area. No one found that goal boring.

Please don't go into shut down mode. I want to humiliate these fuckers.

I just want 3 points.....that’s all

 

[JaySpur]

I'm enjoying how much overall control we have, even without the ball. So long as we counter with such precision.

I've been Spurs too long to enjoy a half-time 2-nil lead, against anybody,... but I am enjoying this.

So happy there are fans in there to see this!

I think the trick with Sissoko is to play to his limitations. Poch's expansive, possession based football saw the worst of Sissoko but Mourinho's style suits him perfectly as he is one of the fittest players around and has the pace and power to cause real troubles. His positioning is pretty good too and as long as you are only asking him to pass 5 yards he can do it. Suits us perfectly at the moment but mainly for these games. I wouldn't fancy him if we had to break down fellow bus parkers.

his conditioning is unbelievable. never stops. incredibly limited footballer technically, but functioning very well as part of this team.

 

[Romulus]

Come on spurs, keep this up

 

[Bulletspur]

All we need to do now is to lock shop an defend as we did against Chelsea.

 

[vicbob]

A lube advert on sky, that’s appropriate

 

[Mr Pink]

Love us to be ruthless second half, making a serious statement

 

[delawarespur]

I think people discredit sissoko’s technical ability. The issues he has are his first touch and his fear of being in possession. I am completely aware these are two huge things, but when he has time, his passing range is quite impressive, and we all know his ball carrying abilities.

 

[yojambo]

We've been brilliant. I'm still so nervous for the second half.

 

[BTN1]

It's still a little strange, but so much better than the fake noise they add

I suspect the club have installed mics to play through the sound system ... I would

 

[weststandyid]

Agree with others saying take GLC off, cant risk a red card and he's a bit off the pace anyway. Good half, a little bit open at times but some great defending when it mattered!

winks is the alternative...

 

[stormfly]

We are all far too positive on here for a ht match thread. It’s scaring me!

 

[glacierSpurs]

Technically should have been sent off, left the field without permission and re entered without permission both yellow card offences.

Atkinson mate. He could have even let Ceballos comes on without Partey leaving.

 

[TigerTom]

That first challenge on Kane (jumped across him) should have been a yellow.

Totally agree - shocking decision

 

[rossdapep]

WTF?

If you look through my past posts you'll see that I like this style and have defended Jose cause it works and is working today.

Maybe I'm just way to nervous and it's clouding my judgement but they cranked it up and we were making a lot of mistakes with the ball, getting dragged all over the place too.

That said, I did miss the first 20 mins.

 

[carpediem991]

Okay all you Sissoko-hating wankers. Where's your love for him today? BEAST MODE

I don't like him. Today he is exceptional and he usually does well in these games.
Not sure he is really needed against low blocks. Good to have him in the squad though. Hope he can keep it up.

Perfect result at half time. Maybe take Gio off, a sending off could really hurt our system. Trust in Jose though.

 

[stov]

lo celso probably needs to come off or it will be red like Fred.

 

[Monkey boy]

Thigh injuries do not fix themselves in the space of two weeks. That’s pure desperation from Arteta starting him in this game and likely putting him out until the new year and beyond now.

 

[ikky]

I still think Arsenal will be safe from relegation
