Arsenal didn't win that, we lost that.
I want Conte to succeed but my opinion of him dramatically dropped today. We're 2-0 down vs our rivals who are strolling to the league title and not only do you not have us overloading them but you don't make a sub until the 70th minute. You're going to tell he doesn't have the players available to make subs; whilst Sessegnon wasted attack after attack first half and we have Persisic sitting on the bench, we're not going to make that change until the 75th minute. It feels like a team of a manager who has lost interest.
I do not understand why we start halves, with a good intensity, good moves and then we go absolutely flat. It is criminal how flat our team just was, for large periods of that game. Our rivals are walking the league, I would snap every fucking ligament, tendon, sinew in my body to stop them getting points at our home ground on their title charge. We looked like we didn't care at all. Arsenal were clearly anxious, we were able to get at their keeper, why in the hell were we not relentless? No excuse can be had for a manager not demanding it and players not producing it.
Other than Sarr and to an extent Kulusevki and Hojbjerg, everybody should be ashamed of their participation in today. I have no idea what is wrong at Spurs at the moment but that was a terrible attitude.
