Arsenal Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[guiltyparty]

Did anyone watch the MOTD2 highlights edit?

It was basically all Arsenal highlights. It included our goal plus about 2 spurs chances. What a joke.

Then Jenas proceeded to say it was the most complete performance he'd seen from a spurs side -
Well you wouldn't have had a clue from watching the shit the BBC put out!

Yeah our goal looked against the run of play. Although I do think it showed how little we created really. We were the better side but Arsenal had the better chances, which is what MOTD is about.

If you honestly believe that you are either a juvenile, a xenophobe or just plain stupid.

I think the answer for your question is 'C'.

An extraordinary statement in yesterday's Guardian's preview of today's match, which I have to assume they have bothered to check:

Lambert, Lallana, Shaw, Chambers, Kane, Mason, Alli, Townsend & Dier.

Yeah I still don't think we create enough clear cut chances in general. A lot of the times in games our efforts on target cone from snap shots by Kane and Eriksen.

We were fantastic yesterday, but we should have opened them up more the amount of times we had the run on their back four.

We were excellent for the most part but should have killed the game long before arsenal came into the game. This side is so good to watch and the energy is incredible. Lamela, walker, kane, alli and dembele were outstanding, the others all very good.

Our obvious weakness was from crosses and, to their credit I guess, arsenal identified and exploited this. Think we can take great satisfaction in the fact we made the goons resort to playing like the old Stoke side, at the Emirates.

Whisper it quietly, we are right in the mix this season.

I think Poch is taking a traditional approach in team building, from the back. Sort the defence out, which he has pretty much done. Now he needs to work on the forward momentum and creating those chances. In order to go to the next level.

Lambert, Lallana, Shaw, Chambers, Kane, Mason, Alli, Townsend & Dier.

Surely Clyne must be one?

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Oh God please don't tell me we were using zonal marking.
Explains everything.
Its shit and doesn't work imo.
Has a zone ever scored a goal?
Not to my knowledge lol.

Yeah Zonal marking really doesn't work. The way we're shipping goals this season is disgust...oh, wait..,,

Dier not made his debut yet.

I stand corrected

 

[Gbspurs]

Wow.

He's right it is anyone's league. If any half team goes on a winning streak between now and January they stand a chance, no one looks unbeatable like Chelsea did last season.

 

[The Scarecrow]

Lambert, Lallana, Shaw, Chambers, Kane, Mason, Alli, Townsend & Dier.

Think Townsend got his debut when AVB was still at the helm.

That doesn't matter. Read the claim again. It just says that 9 out of 16 have worked with Pochettino.

It's a shame we didn't win but so much to take from the match. For the first time in a long time at the Immigrants Stadium we dominated. Only one team was playing football and that was us. Everyone us talking about how good Spurs were and nothing about Arsenal.

I'm not interested in excuses about what happened to Bayen blah blah because Arsenal are always in the Champions League so it's not like they don't know how to cope.

We ran 7km more than the Arsenal team. If there is any fault then maybe it is we are still not clinical enough in front of goal but there can't be a Spurs fan who is not happy this morning.

Poch has built this side in the way he wants us to play football and for the first time since his appointment it is coming together. The foundations are great and I love, love, love how youth is given a chance. We have the energy, desire and talent as a complete team. We even have a defence!

We are unbeaten since the start of the season.

Great season so far and if this team stays together then the experience will come that in two or three seasons we would have finished the scum off way before they had any chances to score.

 

[Block D Spurs]

Good spurs performance. But.. where was dier, as RDMF at the ozil cross to far post? Walker was covering too much space, and got caught out by Gibbs. Rose needs to be more aware, can't give away corners like he does, or we will concede goals. Erickson seemed to fade second half.. Dembele could have played forward a bit more. Lamela has to be careful, there is a red card with his name on it in future games...

 

[TottenhamLegend]

Dier not made his debut yet.

Assume that after this week, it could be 10 out of 17 then - even more impressive!

[Gassin's finest]

We were all over them, fuck MOTD and the media. Keiran Gibbs ffs.

Was like an old 90's derby... we get an early goal, dominate proceedings without exciting, then they somehow get back into the game late on. Just no Clive Wilson these days.

If true it really has failed miserably for us this season. Terrible decision by Poch.....................

What an entitled prick...proper typical Gooner fan.

LMFAO, this guy should be a season ticket holder at Twickenham....
