Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

[mattstev2000]

Wish there was a bit more passion on the touchline. It's the one thing I miss from the Conte era.

Ange always looks like he's waiting for a bus.

But that was compounded by Maddison diving and essentially giving the ball to them to run up the field and score.

That's what cost us the goal. Maddison would rather give up possession of the ball appealing for God knows what on a pathetic dive rather than just play the actual game of football. Tells us all we need to know about him.

 

[WiganSpur]

Arsenal have been woeful with the ball and have still scored three.

I think they've been marginally the better team. We've done OK, looked a little bit toothless but been fairly tidy. Arsenal haven't threatened a great deal but did deservedly sting us with a counter attack from us being too open. The shambolic set pieces explains most of the scoreline.

 

[Tonio]

We better play like this against Citeh.

Imagine being this poor today against the woolwich wanderers and then beating Citeh

lol beat City

 

[sparx100]

It’s not on Ange that Romeo missed from 2 yards or Sonny missed a one on one or PEH wasn’t goal side and put in his own net

No but you need to play to your limitations rather than being gung-ho all the time.

 

[Bobbins]

We've played well though. Its the fucking set pieces that have been an issue for ages. The coaches are at fault here.

Nah. Arsenal have allowed us to have the ball, just as Fulham and Newcastle did.

They know we don’t shoot or create clear chances so it’s harmless and allows them to hit us on the break etc.

Just saw the goals again, don't think Vicario covered himself in glory for them. Needs to be much stronger

Not like him to not be strong enough defending corners

 

[soflapaul]

don't see any way back into this game. but it is a NLD.

above all, i hope this is the game where Ange looks in the mirror and realizes that he is part of the problem. It is one thing to play your way but it is completely another not to tweek that to accomodate for new lessons. It's called adjusting course after taking feedback. and i'm still on teh Ange train.

 

[kendoddsdadsdogsdead]

General plays been okay. They’ve just done a number on us. Davies was shocking for the second. Gave him so much space on the outside yet still couldn’t stop him coming inside. Want to see the offside again to see if the shot was a deflection or a deliberate play on the ball.

[midoshairband]

the final score literally just depends on how many corners they get.

I miss the defending

 

[Ossie85]

Whole defence just too static for the third.

that's a consequence of zonal marking

 

[jondy1]

Awful defending I don’t know what Ange is thinking about protecting vicario he’s just letting Ben white block him off at every corner, it’s school boy defending and Maddison has been shite

 

[Gbspurs]

talking of Chelsea, do you think its possible for that shit Chelsea side to beat us this week ? now that would be something

They've been playing better lately, at home on a night game I 100% expect them to beat this spurs. We're done for this season.

 

[thecook]

This is going to be a crawl for us to secure 5th place then thank our lucky stars utd, chelsea, and newcstle have been shit too. I'm still not confident we can get 5th until i see another win, which looks a long way off

 

[Cheds]

Fuck Maddison off and put Richarlison upfront, move Son to the left, Johnson right, Kulu behind them.

Think Son needs to come off too

 

[Chimbo!]

This result is unbelievably shit but this isn’t the Newcastle game.

The margins and luck in this game have been minuscule and have all gone Arsenal’s way. We hit the post from a corner; Arsenal scored their corner chance. We made a mistake and gave them an own goal; they made a mistake by tripping Kulu in the box and got away with it, and then compounded the luck with a goal immediately down the other end from a one on one that arguably should have been disallowed and pulled back for a Spurs penalty. We missed our one on one. And that has been the entire game.

There have not been any other decent chances or events. We can analyze all we want, but it’s just been one of those unfortunate days. So we shouldn’t be too harsh on the team or the coaching staff.

 

[ultimateloner]

Now is the time to see who can perform in adversity. Hopefully we will find our next Lucas/Lamela.

Now we wil also find out if Madders has enough fighting spirit to carry us.

 

[Spursberg]

It's more than that it allows the opposition to overload areas of the box giving them a numbers advantage from every single delivery.

It just does not work.

Not only that, just look at the first goal, we just let white bully Vicario, When i played footbal, we would never alow that, white would be shuldered into the goad!

we are extremely weak at corners, Zonal marking lets players of the hook, noone needs to take responsibility, so Ange has a job to do here, unfortunately i think he is so stubborn and will get fired before he chages tat
