ARSENAL v SPURS: Match Thread
- Thread starter Geez
- Start date
I disagree, we played as a team and it was not a poor performance on the whole bar the shocking defending for their goal. The problem is and has been for 12 months a lack of creative players and a distinct lack of movement. Arsenal are always moving creating passing alternatives for their teammates. We just don't.
I really think our defence is an issue that needs to be sorted out. Vlad will come in and take his place well but our wing backs do not provide any stability at the back or any attacking threats. Regardless how athletic Kyle Walker may be, he doesn't fit in well with the team. I think BAE should come back at left back and we need someone else for right back, perhaps someone who can cross the ball better.

Can't disagree with that in the slightest

Losing to them any time, by any score, is absolutely terrible. If you think anything else then you're not Spurs.

That was no disaster (or 5-2)
Sure we lacked cohesion and penetration - but that's what we've bought Lamela and Eriksen to do....
Thought Defoe looked quite good as well....
Give these players time and we'll have a great team...

but the papers will put £0 1 - £110 0, it is going to be awful tomorrow.

Frankly that performance was telegraphed by the prior two.
We're a work in progress. Still questions to be answered, specifically being our use of the ball in the final third. Lamela looks a very technically competent player and on the little we saw of him, looks like he will add something.
Once again it was our attack that let us down, but it's why we've spent all this money on players. Disappointing, but it's early doors and it's far from a terminal start.

Hardly knee jerk when he points out the same consistent failures ie our attacking play
Walker is going to be this years Dempsey...or hudd.....of Livermore...great bunch at supporting our own players aren't we?

When kyle walker matures he'll be immense. Until then he'll always frustrate.

Yeesh. Well, let's quickly put that one behind us. Second best in most departments. Can't think of a single player who had a reallygood game, some down to circumstance. Not much Bobby can do when he's isolated for example. Lloris aside of course.
Move on. Eriksen and Lamela to start integrating properly from now on.
Real bastard about Kapow. I hope it isn't as serious as it looked but that might mean Carroll gets some meaningful games in the meantime.
I'm now forgetting all about this game.

This time last year, our defending was appalling and we were consistently conceding late - AVB sorted it.....
Now, we have a new bunch of players, and we need to work on our teamwork and forward play - AVB will sort it!
