Didn't think that was a foul either. Shame we couldn't make it count.

Being out fought by fucking Arsenal. There's no indication here that we can get back into this given the difference in energy levels and dedication between the sides. We haven't done a thing in the final third and our players aren't pressing like they mean. Going through the motions for the most part. Kane looks off his best. Eriksen anonymous. Sissoko running but his touch is so poor things just slow down or break down when they go through him. Maybe winks on for some speedy passing.
Yep - they have wanted it more and have pressed like crazy.

Completely agree and said the same on deadline day when it became clear they neither Barkley nor Gomes were coming. If we don't address it in January it will be outright negligence.
I think on reflection Gomes would have been a very useful signing. I was slightly less concerned at the time but now Wanyama is injured we are lacking quality there.

Too many fans believing in the hype too

Just look at the result of the match poll

Unbelievable
It’s got nothing to do with hype. We are a bloody good team, It’s just a fact. If we lose, that’s more of a surprise. We’re still a far far better team than Arsenal, not today though. They’ve played well. But it’s one game.

Only so many of these you can get away with in a season though

Arsenal have obviously been working in their 'contrived fouls' again.

Going down really well today and making it look good.

Stop talking sense in the match day thread please
