Perhaps only 3 points but a world apart in ability and attitude

It actually showed me something different. It showed me that this league is full of distinctly average football teams. Teams that play a "system" that is very defensive in mind. The game showed a lack of quality from 2 of the supposed better teams in the league.

Agree on this, there are a lot of very average teams and Arsenals relative success / improvement over the past two years she’s been based on being defensively consistent and seeing a big uplift in conversion of set pieces.

We on the other hand have changed to be more exciting in possession but too chaotic defensively.

It’s that age old footballing problem Benitez put so nicely

There is no such thing as the perfect tactic but I would rather watch us play the front-foot football we’re trying than the stuff we saw under Jose & Conte

Rice, Ødegaard and Saka all dropping the National team. Norwegian press really pressing anwsers out of the manager, without geting anything out of them. But clearly the Arsenal management have some good power over their players to keep theri 3 best players resting for 2 weeks now. Where is Spurs dark art "forcing" their players to be injured?

Don't need that, they go and get injured all by themselves ;)
