Match Threads Tottenham vs Arsenal : Match Thread.

[Cruyff]

Why is Son not playing right on Mustafi and testing him? We are carrying Wanyama.

 

[paulcumpstone]

lack of reaction from the shit they served at Chelsea and combined with they fact its arsenal you'd think they wouldn't lack motivation but sissoko apart nobody seems that up for it from the off

 

[Paolo10]

i'd argue our front 3 have been the worst players on the pitch, lack of movement, heavy touches and losing the ball most the half

Sissoko and Wanyama have been awful tbh, Eriksen not much better.

The only incision we seem to have is down the right weirdly.

 

[StevePil]

we seem like we are done for this year? trying not to be overly negative but don't see anyway back today.
Southampton away next Sat before another big break, we could be sitting 6th in a couple of weeks time... worrying what that will do to this team knowing we still have to go to city and pool.
maybe finishing outside top 4 will give a big lesson to you know who

Trippier having a good game.
Am I allowed to say that?

What has he done to have a good game? I've seen lots of soft passes, poor movement off the ball, out muscled for the ball.

A couple of good crosses does not make for a good game.

 

[thinktank]

Hell are people watching to think we were shit that half??

 

[Cruyff]

I think we've actually played really well, unlucky to be losing. Trippier having a good game down the right which is good to see.

Well? We didn't have a shot on target until the last minute!!!!

 

[walton]

If we score next, and they don’t score another we’ll get a draw at least, I can feel it in my bones

 

[jurgen]

Did you watch the first half? He was pretty much our best player. Midfield have been awful.

He's been ok, worse if Iwobi could shoot but he sees so much of the ball and makes so little from it in the end.

 

[DFF]

The commentators on BT, and many on here, have bagged literally every single one of our players (some deservedly) for our attacking ills, yet haven't had the bollocks to address the elephant in the room - the Harry Kane sized hole up front.

He's put one (deflected) pass in behind just then, he's headed one offside goal, great stuff. Apart from that I'm sorry, but he's doing nothing. He's not holding the ball up, he's not offering himself, he's not running channels, he's not in the box at the right time making a run for his wide man. It's a shell of the great man and we badly need him to get firing in the second half, as we did last weekend, as we did midweek, we need more.

It hasn't been a great half all round, but if you have no focal point then how do you build a platform in the final third?

It’s not like we had evidence from last season that rushing him back from injury doesn’t work. Son doesn’t know how to play with him, and he himself is not pulling his weight.

 

[Dennism]

Arsenal spend all season defending like a pub team and then come here a defend like their lives depend on it

That is because it is the NLD and they are showing passion. Where the hell is ours? Poch seems unable to motivate the players.

 

[thinktank]

Trippier having a good game.

He's been great. Our MoM so far.

Good maths skills

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

It's absolute madness and for the life of me I can't understand the logic behind it. No idea why he started Burnley.

Poch always does this though. Kane is thrown back without any gradual reintegration and we tend to lose our rhythm somewhat. It’s worse this time because we’ve less game changers like Dele to pick up the slack that comes with that disruptive rhythm

 

[TheRevolution]

Hell are people watching to think we were shit that half??

Only shot on target at the end of the half mate. Final third play has been atrocious.

 

[paulcumpstone]

Sissoko and Wanyama have been awful tbh, Eriksen not much better.

The only incision we seem to have is down the right weirdly.

i'd argue sissoko has been our best player, only one not stood around like a traffic cone, son, kane and Eriksen haven't made enough runs, Wanyama I agree on, jokes on poch for starting him

 

[JimmyG2]

It just ain't happening people.
Individual errors.
Offside goal.
Wonder saves.
Sissoko outstanding.
Wanyama not.
They're giving us the freedom of Wembley.
Can we use it?

 

[EastLondonYid]

Llorrente on rose off

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

Wanyama is shot..

 

[Sevens]

Sissoko's tracking (or lack of) of Ramsey was terrible for their goal.
