Match Threads Arsenal vs Spurs - Match Thread

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Havent played well at all. Arsenal disasterclass after Dier’s goal is the reason we’re ahead. I love Dier even more. Absolute legend. Poch needs to change it. Toby for Foyth.

Cool heads. Verts is on a yellow, a rush sub might cause issues. See how it goes for 20 mins, if it looks safe i'd agree.

 

[The Long Suffering One]

I don't think Dier's celebrations was bookable. Ref booked him coz Arse subs can't handle his "shhh" and went all mental.

Replays showed Sissoko pushing away Leicheisteiner who had told our lads to cut it with the celebrations. That sparked it all off.

Having Dier, Sissy and Serge in the pitch is like we’ve brought our own minders. Hard as nails. Shame Lamela isn’t available to bring on at 3-1 up just to rub their noses in it.

Plenty of action, but not a great half performance, despite the lead. Need to turn it up a notch for the second, as the scum will I'm sure!

 

[ajspurs]

More nervous now than at 1-0 down

I'm like that also, always more restless when we're winning. When we're down I'm just in a bit of a slump.

Unless we learn how to defend at half time I’m not sure my nerves will be up to the second half!

 

[samspurs92]

Anyone else worried their heart is not going to make it through the second half?

 

[Blue]

Yeah - Verts and Dier both on yellows scares me a bit

If we should change our defence we should replace Verts with Toby imo because of this, plus foyth has done well.

 

[Mr Pink]

Should of scored one more.

Agree, but that's not out of sight.. Maybe commanding position, but hardly out of sight.

 

[wrd]

what is it with our right backs making shit mistakes and blaming Foyth? Pathetic from Aurier, lost his fucking head and was getting caught out positionally.

 

[BringBack_leGin]

Breathless match so far. We know we can keep this pace up, can they?

Second half we need to frustrate and counter just like we did to Chelsea.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Time for 45 mins or counter attacking football from Poch. Let's hope it works.

yup what this derby needs is some real Argentine Shit-housery from Erik

 

[Yid-ol]

Have to give arsenal credit for the first 20 mins. Gave us no room to play and deserve the lead... After that they turned to the old arsenal and got dirty and we showed them up from there though still bricking it each time they attack.

 

[Dannyspur]

Why did Dier get a yellow ?

they are saying for shushing the crowd - but loads of players do it - I think it may have been for wading back into the melee on the touchline.

 

[joelstinton14]

Really poor first twenty minutes but we been the better side since then. Think we can go up a few more gears, Arsenal have been good going forward but it feels like they are at their maximum already and they’re not good enough defensively to stop us creating chances .

Son is causing them all sorts of problems. If we are defensively tighter we should win this

 

[thebenjamin]

I need at least an hour before the second half

& to dish out some of his sly Argentinean mischief.....?

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Agree, but that's not out of sight.. Maybe commanding position, but hardly out of sight.

Particularly with their defense. There are still a few more goals in this game

 

[KILLA_SIN]

Agree, but that's not out of sight.. Maybe commanding position, but hardly out of sight.

No he's talking shit, we had a rocky twenty, and got a goal back just when we needed it, we had already cut them open once if not twice before the corner.
