Arsenal Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

I actually don't think I can cope with watching the second half - think I'll just sit in my garden and follow the game by interpreting the shouts that go up from the numerous gobby Arsenal fans who live in my street.

First 10 minutes of this 2nd half we must be totally switched on from the off - cannot allow them comfortable way back in to this game.

 

[absolute bobbins]

So, just had my neighbor came round looking really worried to check to see if I was ok. I may have gone a bit ott when Kane scored

Dembele has been careless one or two times but overall has played well. Need to cut out those misplaced passes.

Been impressed with alli.

 

[faymantaray]

We will win this but expect an arse onslaught in the second half.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

Like the way Kane waited and waited before hitting that shot to score.

 

[L-man]

Most people would be thinking can we keep up this energy 90 minutes? Look at the bench and Mason and Son to come on. Amazing options, perfect for this game

Just need to gain control and keep possession for the first 15 or so. Arsenal get desperate and the gaps start to open.

 

[TheVoiceofReason]

Lamela, Kane and the defence have been FANTASTIC.

Only player who could up his game is Eriksen.

Mersons 3-0 is looking good, stupid drunk fuckwit.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Jesus Christ......if the best moan people can come up with is a schlag at Harry Kane for taking a shot that's testament to how we've performed quite well.

That was a decent effort which could easily have created a chance from the save had Cech not dealt with it so well. What is it exactly people want? Perfection?

 

[dickieven]

What a performance. COYS lets have another 45 mins like that please.

 

[spursfan77]

More of the same second half. There's no way they can stay this bad.

 

[yusrisafri]

Id give verts the best player of the 1st half

 

[TonyWant]

Wonderful tackling and pressure from Spurs all over the field
Keep it up and we will win

 

[shelfboy68]

Best we've played away to a big club for a long time. So far. Cue 2nd half collapse!

Not today this is pochs spurs we dont do fold ups.

 

[tooey]

The next 45 is probably the biggest test we've had this season. I can't see Arse being that poor in the second half. In yesteryear we would lose all composure and end up losing this 4-1. Let's see what we're made of. COYS!!!!

 

[thinktank]

That was the business. COYS.

I think we could have - and should have - killed the game in the first half if we were more clinical with our choices around the box. But we've definitely set ourselves up well and they haven't caused us a problem.

But we have to remember that this lot is at home and if they sneak a goal it will affect us mentally and they will get a huge boost and that can swing the balance.

It's a game we have to never let them back into or could be trouble in the circumstances.

13 vs 11 - i agree

Well Arsenal have 14 "players" (15 if you include the 4th ref as well). How on earth Campbell and Girourd got away is beyond me. No wonder players get confused by "erratic" refs!

 

[Damian99]

Mersons 3-0 is looking good, stupid drunk fuckwit.

Dunno i reckon we could easily get two more this half

 

[Dov67]

wish I could teleport myself one hour into the future.

The nervous tension when your 1-0 is multiplied 1000 fold.
