Spurs fans are so fickle. We lose away to Arsenal (we weren’t anywhere near our best, with key players out and some in our team still recovering from injury), and they tell us this is a reality check. Get a grip people. This game does not reflect where we are as a club/team. We lost, they played well. It happens.

Hate to break it to you, but they’re only one point behind us.

just Finnish above them, which we are more than capable of, and gain the ultimate bragging rights.
He's a Spurs fan and overcompensates.
Poch has done amazing things with this team, but if he doesn't stop with his amateurish coaching during the games, we will never be a winning club. I can accept that Kane was subsituted, because he wasn't fit. But Alli too? It's so stupid so I don't know what to say. No, Alli wasn't good. But even when players like Kane and Alli plays bad, they can score a goal or two. Sissoko was decent, but even when he's decent, he wont help us getting back in a game where we need goals.

I see sky gave ozil MOTM, Dean just as effective for arsenal maybe they should reconsider.
Seems we made a mistake starting Kane and Alli if they were injured.

We lost, they didn't play well. It shouldn't happen.

Agree except for last part, we do this quite often where we look like we can’t be arsed, don’t think it’s cockiness, think some of our players lack the Sanchez type motivation

We lost it in midfield, Dembele was a shadow of his former self and Sissoko (whilst positive going forward) wanders all over the pitch which leaves a gap in the middle. We then had to try and punt it long which was clearly not working. We really, really missed not having one of Wanyama or Dier in the centre today - preferably alongside Winks.
Hats off to Arsenal, I thought they worked very hard and if (our) Sanchez hadn't been so good then it could have been much worse.

Changes should have been made at half time at the latest - which suggests Poch still sometimes starts with the wrong team. Given Dembele's injuries, lack of form, lack of fitness, lack of match time etc. I've got no idea why he started. If Winks wasn't fit enough to start either then surely Dier should have started in midfield.
Nope... But you take points of your rivals.

It’s stil there...how our basic passing falls apart in certain big games...our front 3 and sissoko not looking after the ball.
Improved a bit when Winks came on

Why didn't Lloris dive for that header? It wasn't a rocket and he could see it from a long way out. I know it went in of the post but it was soft for me.
Nonsense. Kane and zeriksen both had good efforts before the goons scored.
The entire game changes when you gift two goals, fair enough, the ref helped massively in both, but then you’re chasing it, with a leggy attack and Dele looking like he’s never seen a football before.
If Rose and Dele go, so what? Davies has surpassed Rose who could never be the same again by the way. Dele, for as talented and brilliant as he can be, we’d get big money and if we brought in a couple like Lanzini and Barkley...dare I say it, we’d possibly be better off for it.
It’s a fucker that we’ve lost to this shower of shit today and in such a pathetic manner but it’s still all good. Fucking goons are the new West Ham. Reserve all their effort for us. It’s a compliment. Hopefully they enjoy Thursday night this week and come the end of the season when we’ve finished above them and they lose Sanchez ( fuck Ozil, he’s a passenger anyway most weeks ) this result will all be forgotten

Better hope that Poch hasn't been binging The Punisher on Netflix, as he may go Frank Castle on a few of their asses!

I honestly think we tried to, early in the game, but Kane and Alli couldn't control or pass the ball, so we just had relentless pressure. Being honest, Arsenal were just very merciful in the second half.
