Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal - Match Thread

Mixed emotions. Love the win and thought sissoko was excellent til the end, especially the last 5 mins.

However, that will be the way we play now cos it won yet we were at home. We were fortunate with the Son goal. My question is would that have worked against Sheffield United? Arsenal are shit and they dominated the ball.

Sulzeer looks devastated.

Someone said we did not deserve that but 9 shots to 4 in our favour on target says different

 

[yankspurs]

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

And what is that? Letting the opposition continuously have fantastic chances?

 

[Wsussexspur]

obviously will take that! lets be honest second half we were poor. Thought first half we actually looked reasonable good. Thought Toby had excellent game

A derby win is always great for morale, but perhaps the nature of this one can be a significant turning point. The whole team executed Mourinho's game-plan and we got the result.

Why is it only a big moment when Aubameyang hit the bar but not Davies?

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

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

Time was our ‘immense’ players were all about skills and trickery, now it’s all about running all day and closing down. How are the mighty fallen.

Nice to win, but the catch is we have to get used to this football as it's how we're gonna be playing home and away the next 24 months.

Take the day off mate? We won the derby, and fairly comfortably too.

They won't keep you waiting long for a real opportunity to complain.

I don't give a fuck as long as it's successful.

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

We deserved it because that was the plan. Their control of possession wasn't an accident.

However, that's not to defend the tactics.

I dont think we were that bad. The gameplan was obviously to sit in and defend well and wait for our opportunities. Jose knew we would get them v this Arsenal team

 

[midoNdefoe]

Get in!

 

[Cavehillspur]

Good first half, extremely lucky second half. Best under Mourinho

Not sure if the best but def up there with the win over City. It was badly needed.

 

[sparx100]

Was a good result and a decent performance. Aurier will never cut out the mistakes. Shows that we need developing in the full back areas and a quality defensive midfielder to give us that ability to dominate a midfield.

[werty]

Thought we were the better team. Had a bad third quarter but other than that I thought we better and more deserving.

Is it me or is there some crazy trend going on? The NLD team to score first, usually doesnt win the match??? My recent memories are exactly just that.

So don't blame me when i chuckle when the arse scored first today..
