Not sure we deserved that, but who gives a toss! Get in! In fairness we did have too days' less recovery and preparation before today so great performance in the end

Nice result, good performance. Comforting that arsenal are in a worse state , a couple of good strikers and the rest are no better than west ham

Lucas immense. Motm can’t tell me otherwise. I get the hate at times, but he was brilliant today never stopped running and closing down. Class

Aurier was motm but lucas I think we excellent... Worked his bollocks off and now you know why Jose likes him.

Yeah he has poor decision making but also created two chances for Kane.

Since the terrible performance/result vs Sheffield United 7 points out of 9 in 6 days is pretty dam good and we drew the easiest match ?

I think the problem is this is the new reality. This is what we have to look forward to every week. Gooners has 82% possession up until our second goal at our place. That is shocking and not what I want to see from Spurs. We won today but it could easily have been a loss.

I'm pretty sick of possession football to be honest. We had a lot of shots and played quite well. As has been said before, there's no point having the ball if you do nothing with it

I think if we upgrade on Aurier, Winks and Sissoko, maybe also Davies, our play will look more sleek. Just need this season to be over.

This wasn't a Mourinho masterclass any more than it was solely on him for failure to beat Bournemouth.
I will give him credit for switching to a 442 to start the game. There was also some clear direction to Sissoko and Lucas to sit back at times but also get forward at times. I will say Jose's gameplan was much better this match than any of the previous ones.

His late subs still annoy me.

Loving how fickle I’ve become. Actually chuckling to myself - Thursday I was ‘ that’s it’; today I’m ‘we could get into Europe’

The surprises: Lucas was a ball of energy and played great. Some lapses though. Sissoko did well.

The par for the course: Aurier and Winks are terrible, horrible, no good, very bad football players.

How very wrong you are. May not be ballers, but both are extremely good at what they do.

Disagree I think we did deserve it. They had lots of possession and Ceballos was good but that was it really.
