Spurs vs Arsenal Match Thread

All possession. No substance. Keep failing to win the ball back on the press high up the pitch leading to our high line easily being exposed. If Arsenal were sharper, they’d be winning this easily.

The midfield seems very congested and it's difficult for either team to get space there.

Firstly i'd get Dier off and bring on a proper midfielder in Wanyama. Later in the half if Poch wants to be bolder he should consider this:

Wanyama Dembele
Eriksen
Moura---------------------Son
Kane

There's potentially space out wide if we can exploit it, especially if Mkhitaryan and Ozil switch off.

I must admit I thought Aubemeyang would have pressed us more. Arsenal seem happy to stand off and just wait for an opportunity to come

Depends on how well behaved we were in our past lives

Why when we play against defences that have looked shit, they have a great game...

Pool last week (upto the last 10 mins), Arse today....! Chelsea at Wembley this year too after they had been ripped apart by Burnley week before

Does my head in, but we must also be more clinical. Kane would score that chance most weeks, we need to put a couple away and get the 3 points here, albeit must not lose.

What's happened to Trippier's delivery into the box? Seems to have turned into Walker in attacking positions, dithering about and then passing back inside all the time.

Bus-Conductor · Feb 10, 2018

This is a tight tussle, hampered by the ever present deficiencies. Ponderous midfield pair who can dink it from A to B and back again all day long, but can't do A to C or D. The pair of them are also really flat footed and one paced when Arsenal do counter, and when Arsenal do counter they worry me because they are constantly getting numerical over loads and with the brains they have in their ranks, you fear they will pick the right pass sooner or later.

Wanyama's passing is better than Dier's too, he moves it quicker and more vertically, like last week at Liverpool where it was his pass that got Eriksen in behind.

And Son has got to work back and stop that Bellerin out ball.

We have everything -- including options on the bench -- to win this game comfortably imo.

All depends on how Poch plays the second half.

Wenger will keep to his gameplan.

Knowing Poch, so will he

Shown how easy it can happen already, solid game plan.
Sit tight defend deep, play through ball into abua

How is it that our fucking striker is the only one to hit that crossfield ball (with his fucking left foot) that is always fucking open.

TBF, Kane could probably hold down a decent midfield career in the Prem, so it's not that much of a surprise.

Arsenal parking the bus.

Maybe we will see Lucas come on and score the winner in a NLD.

Everlasting Seconds · Feb 10, 2018

So decked for Lucas Moura debut, 165%.

I cannot recall a more boring NLD.

Indeed rather rose and auier for this . Pace and strength. Trippier will have more time on the ball against juve

I am not enjoying this game at all. Its too slow and boring. Everything just seems so predictable.

Which game is that?

Funnily enough this could be a game for another winger if Poch wants to be bold. Could stretch the game and create more space imo.

You must be so fun to watch games with.

When we need the urgency and trying to break down defences, then I agree, Dier isn't the man. Wanyama is a better base to build from.
