Arsenal Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[kungfugrip]

Not enough guts in the team no matter what our starting 11 is. The will to win at all costs isn't there. 3-0 I'm afraid.

Ozil,SAnchez and WELLBACK will have a field day with Toothless Tottenham - as for the SCUM JACK he will be well fired up for this one.... 5-1 to the SCUM.

I'm going for us to get something.
They have been conceding a few.
I reckon we could surprise a few.

In a game like this you want to play 11 who are willing to give it all for the club and the fans, that is how you win derby matches.

Honestly I don't think we can field an 11 that care that much about Spurs. I can only think of 2-3 that will truly run until their heart stops.

Tipping a frustrating defeat, really hope it isn't the case however.

Well i believe we'll win.

Why?

Sometimes it's not just about respect for the club, but respect for themselves as players. Suarez was a dirtbag and honestly, I don't think he cared about Liverpool, but he ran himself into the ground because HE wanted to push himself, he wanted to lead and he wanted to win. Our players don't seem hurt when they lose, they sulk and instruct their agents to find somewhere else.

We are a long long way behind them in both desire and player quality. That is probably the first time that has been the case for 10 years. I think we will get destroyed and poch will be under pressure.
Ultimately unless we buy some quality players; a left wing forward, a striker, a creative centre mid and a CB we are a million miles from where we want to be and the manager we have is irrelevant.

Can't help but agree with you. Look at QPR getting relegated and laughing the way down the tunnel, a joke. I hate seeing players buddy-buddy with each other after a loss. The least I expect from them is to give it their all, even more so in a match that clearly matters to the fans.

Surely the players must have enough respect for themselves to want to silence the WHL selfie, the Walcott hand sign and the Wilshere chant on the bus.

 

[Saul]

the team is missing a leader who can make others play by setting an example. in the 81 side the likes of roberts, ardiles, archibald and galvin hated losing. lamela, dier, lennon, kane and lloris look like sore losers. we need 11 players with that attitudeand will not to lose.

Thank god I'm going to be drinking from lunchtime tomorrow... not sure I could face it otherwise.

 

[Firsttouch]

I don't see a big lack of leaders in the squad, what I see is a mish mash of different footballing cultures and educations with a young average age ....

Brilliant infographics @chrissivad can I ask what software you used?

I used to do stats analysis for work and do stuff like that.

Don't know why but I've actually got a good feeling about this, not necessarily a win but a draw at least. Don't think Arsenal have been that impressive and hoping that last period against Forest could be a bit of a turning point for us.

Nice.

If you're interested in maybe making it a bit easier for yourself there are some good freeware applications you can get for data visualisation which allow you to input statistics and easily manipulate the reslts graphically.

City had Arse on the ropes but they came back physical helped by a referee who missed blatant fouls. City won back with pace and Arse held on to the draw.
Sure we need to get stuck in but we need pace and skill more.

Can it manipulate a positive result for us tomorrow?

i have heard about them and keep saying i will look at them, but never do...
problem i have is i know how i want it to look, so would need to have options on what it looks like

 

[VanZan]

I'm feeling positive. The Arse are nowhere near their best at the moment. Also I think this could be one of those seasons where we are better away from home than at the Lane.

Oh and there will be the now obligatory stat about we've had about ninety managers in the time Wenger has been in charge. Every fecking season for the last ten years that gets rolled out.
