Match Threads Tottenham vs Arsenal : Match Thread.

[Hawk_Spur]

Just like to repeat that we had Danny Rose playing as the DM. A brick wall has better touch than him.

Sissoko good. Trippier defended very well today but his delivery was poor.

Need Alli in this team to freshen us up. Kane coming in has made us stale and predictable, as he isn’t back to 100%.

Definitley feels like a point gained rather than 2 lost, but this is going to be a pianful few months until the end of the season

 

[benaudere]

I am a little confused. Are our players really that poor or just simply Pochettino unable to get the best out of his current crop of players?

 

[wrd]

I hope you've all joined me in getting into some heated arguments with Arsenal fans.

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Hope Kane is pushed rig

I guess we were due a draw, been an awful week though and a better performance than against Chelsea but still nowhere good enough. Need to sort it out pronto

There's only so much you can do with Sissoko as your only 100% fit midfielder.

 

[midoshairband]

so, after the media shitstorm of us being a one man team, they’re finally proved right.

only, the man is Dele, and not Kane.

 

[glacierSpurs]

At least some justice done. Fuck these scums

 

[gushayes11]

Keown is a clown.

Look at our midfield, Sissoko is our only fit midfielder and he wouldn't get in any other team in the top 7.

This had been one of the shittiest games of football ever. Got alot worse after Rose went to DM. Why?

To shift Verts over to supply Fernando.

Poch brought a less effective player on - than sonny - for counter-attacks and compromised the centre of the field to do so.

Pretty bad maths tbh, especially as it took us a while to even start passing to verts out there.

Plus, he lost the ball and, predictably, could not recover, which led to the pen.

Rose would have gotten back into position in that scenario.

Saying all that, it would only take one sweet ball in from Verts on Llorry's head to pay off... but, again, the risk weighting was off imo.

Conversely, odd-face brought his A-game and had his players drilled to a tee today and they looked like a super well-organised team, knowing exactly what each were doing down to a man.

Defending was on point (apart from the pen, of course).

Was impressive tbh.

[Edit] scrap some of that - verts was shifted over before Llorry came on.

 

[IfiHadTheWings]

Super Jan Vertonghen... he is tottenham

 

[Blackrat1299]

Good. Wish it was 30. Cannot stand him. If I saw him run over by a bus I wouldn't pay for the cost of a 999 call. Same with Ramsey. And Guendouzi. And Aubamayang. And Ozil.

Anyone in an scum shirt!

 

[kendoddsdadsdogsdead]

Honestly think that was our worst performance of the season, so many players doing stupid stuff, Running into traffic when there are passes on ect, Couple of players in particular bottling physical contact as well. I’m more annoyed with that performance than Wednesday. Arsenal aren’t a good side either.

They’ve had a bad week. It doesn’t mean anything.

The latter, I think.

 

[glacierSpurs]

Eriksen needs to step it up. Not sure what is going on his head, if it’s transfer/contract related it’s unforgivable. Save that shit to the end of the season.

I would be afraid if it's Walker scenario all over again.

Rose was in midfield for 10 minutes before Llorente came on.

 

[kaz Hirai]

Another awful game, another awful energy displayed.

What happened with Son? or Eriksen? Man, they are playing really shit in the past 3 games.

Thought Sanchez was a liability, Trippier should be playing in the Championship. Good to see Lloris defending another penalty. Vertonghen is a god, man, I love him so much, never leave us.

Pochettino is becoming so predictable in his substitutions, Lamela and Llorente offered nothing new again. What is the problem with Lucas?

Nervous game, the result maintains the gap and I take that.

Headless chicken

 

[Jaddas]

Poor performance all around again (except Sissoko) and lucky to get away with a draw. Should've switched formation at half time as we were going nowhere.

Would drop Sanchez for a while as he is making too many mistakes. Also, Big Vic looks like he's finished. Such a shame as was brilliant in his 1st season.

P.S. Danny Rose centre mid? What a bizarre decision.

 

[yankspurs]

Poor result at home. We are now well and truly in a fight for our lives for top four.

Well considering the way we’ve played for 270’, that is actually an incredible result
