Should have been surrounding the ref at half time there putting pressure on that he cost us the goal. We're still too nice at times.
Maybe the coaching staff will have a quiet word in the tunnel.
Horrible half of football. Saved our worst 45 mins for the derby.

He's still been pathetic though. One or two powerful runs in amongst poor control, misplaced passes, poor decision making and general incompetence.
I really hope we haven't dropped a fully fit Winks for this bungler.

It’s not just desire, we expect too much time on the ball and once again when we’re pressed our attacking players aren’t producing.

Dembele cannot start a match IMHO.. Wink passes upfront so much quicker.

Absolute dog shit performance. Embarrassingly bad.

Worst half of football this season by a mile.
Our biggest problem is that we havn't passed the ball anywhere near well enough and have invited pressure.
Arsenal havn't even played well ffs.
Lloris though looks weak and unsure for both goals. If you watch him for the first goal, he starts moving and then inexplicably stops.

This is Spurs of old. Nothing played to the feet. Sissoko picked for the counter but we need to get hold of the ball. Winks on for Sissoko and maybe we get control of the middle and give Dier some cover as we miss Toby.
They are just more up for it than us

Why do you think the midfield is being bypassed?
It's because they're offering no outlet for the CBS in possession, hence the humping long. Dembele and Sissoko love to hide behind players when the defenders have it.

We're not playing very well are we.
He was doing that a bit last season. Annoying quirk of his at times.

Alli is the problem, he's been absolutely awful, especially when we have been in good positions.
I agree and had a feeling about this game. Obviously the media and sky especially have their storyline for the game and they’ve been at it all week. ‘Spurs are favourites’, in fact it was the first thing said when the programme started today more or less. We weren’t. Bookmakers dictate the favourites and Arsenal were before the game.
Anyway...
Dele is what he is unfortunately. He had a diabolical first ten minutes which again wasn’t really noticed by those covering it. Against this lot, you don’t give up possession easily. Dele give it back to them the first 5 times he touched it. Sets a poor tone for the side in general.
Need to get Eriksen on the ball as much as possible
