Match Threads Arsenal vs Spurs - Match Thread

[glacierSpurs]

Nothing more to say today. It was disappointing today Poch. Fuck off today.

 

[rossdapep]

It was a 2nd yellow

Sorry, I meant that. It was the only way he could get the ball, which he did without going through the player first

 

[13VanDerBale13]

oh great, just reminded we have to play these again in the cup, no doubt we will put in another useless performance

 

[shelfboy68]

I love Poch and love this team. But today shows why we will never win anything.

Why won't we win anything

 

[thefierycamel]

I just can't comprehend some of the managerial decisions. Leaving out Toby and a lack of changes at half-time when they were clearly needed, then waiting until 4-2 down to make any at all. It just doesn't make sense.

Diamond was suicide.

I don't think we've ever looked good playing a diamond. It's such a lopsided shape.

 

[GutBucket]

Can't beat top teams with shitty fullbacks and mediocore midfield. There's a reason why we have 0% chance to beat teams like City and why Liverpool is better. Rich teams always buy quality strikers and midfielders first and then fullbacks second, they are crucial in modern game. Kane, Son and Eriksen are good enough to beat teams bellow top 4 but we don't have enough quality in crucial areas to compete with top 4 teams and to do anything in CL. It's a miracle we are only a point below Chelsea.

Serge has had a dead set shocker from start to finish

He's had a bit of company.

We lacked composure for most of the match - part of that is on the players, part of that is on the set-up.

Emery made changes at the half - Poch never reacted. Out-mananged today.

 

[Mr.D]

I fucking hate football sometimes.

 

[Haddock]

Well deserved win by Arsenal. They went all in and it paid dividends. Even if we are better on paper (...which is still up for debate according to some) playing away in a NLD is always a tough match.

Doesn't help that this half is one of the worst 45 minutes we've had against another top four contender for a long time.

 

[Stamford]

Absolutely pathetic from all involved. Really poor from Poch especially

 

[Indisguise]

Pretty embarrassing the way Emery has outmanoeuvred Poch today.

 

[TheGreatCoys]

All of ourweaknesses exposed today. Don't mind losing but being out fought by Arsenal is inexcusable. We need a midfielder so badly. Just someone who can change a game in these circumstances is what we desperately need.

 

[Col_M]

That Kane run domes up this game.

 

[BuryMeInEngland]

Fuck. That.

 

[Danners9]

Diamond was suicide.

The set up was all wrong, unless Toby is injured or struggling then leaving him out is wrong, and not making any subs until late on is wrong. Their change at HT left us in the dirt. Spurs can't do that. But it shouldn't be 82 mins and 4-2 down before changes are made.

 

[ardiles&villa]

I felt sorry for Dier and Sissoko, they have had to chase the whole game

 

[DFF]

Emery was decisive. He made changes early and they worked.
Poch, nothing. Deer in the headlights.
This game ended up being a battle of managers. Emery walked away with it.

 

[dickieven]

Well hate to say it but we were second best all over the pitch today. Out fought and out played. Also out tacticed if that is a word! Why can't we turn up at their place?
