Match Threads Arsenal vs Spurs - Match Thread

[nedley]

Oh well - there you have it Poch, play a lack of match fitness vertonghen alongside a hugely inexperienced foyth and you get this. Bad management of the squad right there.

This.

At last someone pulls bellerin well done siss9ko bit fucking late but better

 

[waresy]

That early yellow was always going to haunt Jan. Every touch getting a free kick, like playing in Europe, we should be smarter than this.

 

[SdB]

jan has had a terrible game today, another strange decision by poch to start him over toby when hes only just come back from injury

hes's looked moody and disinterested from the start

 

[Dr Know]

This is so Spurs....I thought we would have got raped by Chelsea and pissed all over Arsenal....

 

[walton]

I like Winks' nasty side when folk fall over

 

[nailsy]

Was it a straight red, or second yellow? He got the ball...

 

[Mr Pink]

Really disappointed by this today, think Poch got it completely wrong starting Foyth.

Just don't get it, we have Alderweireld and Vertonghen, best CB pairing in the league.

 

[hutchiniho]

He's mentally fragile as you'd expect from a 20 year old who's played a grand total of 15 odd senior matches of football in his life.

In other words, he's the very last player in the squad who should have been starting this match. This one's on Poch.

Aurier and foyth on the same side is just asking for trouble. Through in a bucket load of ridiculous individual errors and we’re asking for trouble.
Embarrassing
A weak effort after a very spirited five minute turn around
Bellerin can wife his chirpy neck in

 

[13VanDerBale13]

if only our defence showed this same fight, serious questions need to be answered after this game

 

[SirNiNyHotspur]

We lost to a worse team today because one manager’s brain was working, we’ll finish top4 if poch doesn’t throw any more games

 

[cjbyid]

Arsenal aren't even that too, we've made them look unstoppable

 

[dickieven]

At last some fucking fight

 

[St José Dominguez]

He hasnt been good but i believe that when you have an inexperienced 20 yr old against your arch rivals away - you have to play for two defenders as it were

We lost it at the team sheet

Don’t give him an excuse and blame the youngster. He’s been woeful.

 

[TottenhamMattSpur]

The two goals aren’t because of playing out at the back though. That was your argument.

It's a combination of things that were there to see.
Poch didn't want to change.
This has been a painfully bad game to watch.

 

[markiespurs]

That's not a red Dean you twat

It was a 2nd yellow

 

[JayB]

I don't think it's a surprise that the two players who played either side of Foyth looked as bad as they have. One of the most baffling decisions I've ever seen.

 

[Dundalk_Spur]

All the Arsenal players piling into ours after a decision and not one yellow.

Its happened over and over today
.

 

[Indisguise]

This one is bloody painful. F**ckers!

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Was it a straight red, or second yellow? He got the ball...

yellow

ETA - it could have been red - so fortunate for Jan it was only yellow
