With everyone else here, winks for Sissoko and that's as good as could have put out with injuries. Still we have players that can change the game from the bench (hopefully we won't need to though)

:sick:

Sissoko runs in the counter could be very handy.We are also massive compared to them 8 x 6ft they have 3. Set pieces could be crucial

The media have really overhyped this 'spurs are favourites' narrative so if we lose they can really overhype the 'spurs the legends' narrative

Fuckers
If they'd have gone the other way and said Arsenal were favourites/still the bigger club you'd have been railing against that and moaning about 'agenda'. So now, not only do they have too satisfy people with what they say, they now have to get the balance right too and its still agenda :D

Only problem is we are less likely to control possession with Sissoko on ahead of winks, and personally I'd rather they see as little of the ball as possible even if it means losing a few juggernaut runs...

I think Sissoko over Winks must mean we're setting up to counter. If so, not a bad idea b/c it somewhat nullifies their counter, what is one of their strengths.

I think the Arse line-up is prob the best they could put out today.

Ability wise its the best line-up they have but theres a lack of workrate and players that track back.

You bringing this up every time is almost as tedious as the people complaining about the pro/anti-Spurs media 'hype'.


And me complaining about you is probably as tedius etc.

Yeah thats exactly what I want. Balance.

Maybe if headline on The Sun could've been 'Spurs vs Arsenal: Spurs in the better form but it's an away derby so even if they don't win it's not going to define their season'. I would love that but obviously thats not going to get people to click because it makes sense and isn't sensationalist crap

And actually I wouldn't mind it if afterwards everyone went 'oh well, Spurs were favourites but it was a close game, in an away derby, and this does not define a team' but we all know it's going to be 'Spurs legends lol'

Might be paranoid but lloris was crouched over holding both his knees in a 1 second clip

Thought he looked injured

A lot of responsibility on Sissoko for this one, there will be holes in midfield for Ozil to waste chances to exploit if he goes walkies too often.

As it stands they are missing cazorla and giroud only. Fittest squad arse have had in years

I think Sissoko against Arsenal might work against us, think they will find it easy to play around him, hope I am proven wrong.
