Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

[DenverSpur]

Lee Dixon on the US coverage said before these games Toby Adams went around the dressing room saying “ don’t give them anything”. That’s what we did . We gave away a needless corner when we know they are so good at corners and we are not. We basically gave them all 3 goals and you can’t win games doing that.
In many ways the non penalty call on Kulusevski just before their second suns up our season - no rub of the green in important moments. I think it’s a 50/50 call but there’s too many of those sort of calls we don’t get. The referee has to be sent to the VAR monitor

What was our record at conceding at set pieces before Ange?

Early this season we hadn’t conceded one for a long time until Everton scored in 2nd phase.
then Man c in the cup scored last min pushing/pressuring Vic. Ever since it seems we’ve conceded in every game from a corner

What the fuck is Paul Merson's problem. ****.

Gambling, booze, drugs..

 

[CookieYiddo]

Kulu was good today, back to the strong running, physical player.

 

[Impspur1]

What the fuck is Paul Merson's problem. ****.

He’s Paul Merson

What the fuck is Paul Merson's problem. ****.

Alcoholism, cocaine, gambling, drink driving...

On the balance of play, there’s no way we deserved to lose that. When you are so fucking dreadful time after time at the absolute basics of defending set pieces though, it’s hard to argue that we didn’t deserve to lose. Strange game.

Thought Kulu came back in and did really well. Maddison needs to sit the rest of the season out

Yep. Midfield B > midfield A

Alcoholism, cocaine, gambling, drink driving...

Plus being a Chelsea fan

Genuinely can't believe Merson just tried to mug Dawson off on TV. Bloke's thicker than a Greek yoghurt and is wrong 99% of the time.

I may be insane but take those two corners out of the equation and the first half performance was actually better than the second half, we almost stumbled upon both goals, and even after the second I never got the impression they believed we could get a third.

 

[Dillspur]

If our keeper never comes off his line and doesn’t command his 6 yard box we’re in for more and more and more of this set piece nonsense and that doesn’t end well…

Watch the 2nd again, White gives Vic a shove to put him on his back foot as the corner is taken, I'm not sure you can blame Vic for that, his momentum is now off and he can't come for the ball, I think that's exactly the same "tactic" that City used in the FA cup. Question should be asked if that should be a foul?

 

[mattspur1]

Well, it obvious the deficiencies this team has. Address them next summer and we'll kick on. If not then it'll be another long season.

Much better second half. Nice to see there's still pride and fight in the squad. That bodes well.

If you don't have fight at 3 goals down then you do have problems.

The Saka goal was given to them by the officials not giving us a penalty tbf. We didn't lose the ball there.... It's not a 50/50. It's a pen. He was tripped. Was getting to the ball first and they scored off it.

If anything the problem was he was too honest and tried to stay on his feet which is why they didn't even look at it.

Hojberg OG was unlucky. Set pieces need work.

 

[Doctor Dinkey]

In my worthless opinion we can say goodbye to fourth and Arsenal won't win the League.

Arsenal will win all their remaining games. We need man city to beat us.

 

[king_yid]

Sorry mate you are not right, their clean sheets and they way they have put some teams to the sword. They weren't lucky with their goals today but I understand your disappointment.

We scored them an og, if that's not luck then I don't know what is

Sadly we can’t take them out of the Game but get your point

 

[Cochise]

I hate watching those ****s celebrate at our place.

Munn, Levy, Ange and the rest of the management at the club need to sort things out this summer.

If there is money to spend this summer, spend it on 2-3 players of quality. No shitty half arsed transfers that add nothing to the team, no buying players that only half meet the coaches blueprint and no holding on to players for fee's no one will pay.

 

[russyj]

Thought we gave a pretty good account of ourselves. I just wish we could have put a few decent crosses into the box and gave them something to worry about, instead of floating endless passes to their keeper.

 

[Spurs_1981]

Stunned how Oliver get these big games, just look at the Ben Davies pen where he needed VAR, he is 2 meters from it and looking strait at it. Then adding 6 min, when VAR takes 2 min, subs alone take 3 min and all the time they were on the ground.
Not his fault we lost, but he is shit

I don't know the veracity of the claim but apparently Robbie Earle has said Oliver refused to look at the monitor regarding the Deki trip despite being advised by VAR. I'll wait to see if confirmed but if so that would be pretty bad

 

[easley91]

That strangely was one of our better games in a while. What's doing my head in most is the corners. Sort that and we'll be in a much better position.
