You think Ars are.... I don't... And yes we are making this easy.... The players look lost....So why the disagree.... But then you love to dish out those neg reps.... Carry on?
They are very slick going forward but we haven’t put any pressure on them defensively, we’re so passive everywhere.

Positive things from the first half:

- I found some leftover shortbread from Xmas
- Sarr didn't look too shabby
- PEH's pointing game was on point
- We conceded 1 less goal than I thought we would
- Son conserved almost all of his energy for the 2nd half
- Sess showed the Make-a-Wish foundation that one's dreams can come true... regardless of ability.

Oh yeah, well revel in it why don’t you?! ?

Maybe if Lloris hadn’t thrown in it in his own net things might have been different.

You need Specsavers
The whole thing is broke...
Formation for starters..
No tactics
Except kane scoring.
Lloris shit....but so is everything about us

This team still looks so far from a Conte team. Only a takeover can build it. The whole backline with the exception of Romero needs replacing. So tired seeing these same players let us down. We're not getting anywhere starting Lloris, Dier, Lenglet, Sess and Doherty.

Mate - we hate Arsenal etc but you can’t deny they’re a fucking good side. Move the ball quickly, loads of rotations in midfield. Bit of bite. They’ve bossed us.
Fuck me, it don't take a good team to move the ball against us, on this showing... I really don't think there moving it that quickly, we're just making it look that way? ..... And yes agree are playing that shit ?

We’re still fucking in this. One goal and they shit their pants.

No surprise that Sarr and Hojbjerg got overrun in midfield. Chasing shadows and completely outnumbered.

No surprise they targeted our left side. Sess is picked for his pace I assume to deal with Saka, but has been given the so solute run around all half and is constantly out of position. The first five mins set the tone. Two great chances to drive forward in space and he just dollied shot crosses into the first man with 30 yards of space ahead of him. I cannot wait for Udogie to get here.

You cannot look anywhere but Lloris for that half. He’s our captain and supposed to set the tone. That first goal, he seemed scared of the ball and absolutely fannies it in his own net. Appalling. Then gets beat from range with a strike that’s not even in the corner.

Crowd need to get on it the second half.

Arsenal are good, but we are terrified to get near them.

Embarrassing first half.
TBF it's not just the scum, we are always afraid of putting up challenges and pressing this season. Before WC we have the excuse of not expanding the energy with fear of injury. This can't be right now after WC we are still meek like a team of eleven Sess.

ENIC OUT.

Yes, I know they are not on the pitch and it's down to the coach and players but ALL of this has come about due to his reluctance to accept some players need to go, him trying to skimp on top targets, trying to milk every last drop out of shit like Dier and Sessegnon.

No direction, no forward planning, no ambition.

I just want them fucking out.
Agree

This is completely totally and absolutely on Conte. The system is terrible. We give away the middle of the park by playing 5 at the back, and then exacerbate it by trying to play on the counter, giving away possession in the most dangerous areas.

We need to bring Poch back with instructions that we need to take the game to the opposition, play the Tottenham way, and attack.

I can’t remember the amount of times the chat forum has been like this at ht this season. I really hope we manage to pull this one out of the bag today but I fear this will be a step too far.

Another big game where Hojbjerg has been absolute trash. I beg all the Hojbjerg lovers to keep defending him. Sarr has absolutely showed him up. Sarr and Bentancur need to start vs City. I’ve absolutely had enough of seeing this average cart horse wear our shirt and the simulation attempt at the end of the half topped it off. Can’t compete so he wants to cheat, disgraceful

Honestly, conte obsessing about wingbacks, yet still even with 2 world class ones, we’d get hammered by this arsenal side. Tactics are all wrong. 2 wingers would help!

Conte can't be blamed for Hugo chucking it in his net AGAIN but he can be blamed for pretending this system works against quality midfields

Levy hired him and must have known the profile of the man he was hiring
Agree completely. Like a lot of senior management in a lot of businesses he thinks the lack of adequate workforce can be made up for with a quality manager and same as in these other businesses he is wrong.
In all walks of life you cant polish a turd.
