Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

[HildoSpur]

We were the better team but so sloppy at set pieces and it's done us in. Very frustrating

 

[Metalhead]

What we need to do is chuck everyone's ideas on here in a big old pot, mix it together and we have the answer.

 

[millhouse]

To be fair they were hanging on at the end.

after the shambles of the first half that more than I was expecting.

Won’t be competitive until we fix our defensive approach and set pieces.

Looked so much better balanced once Richarlison came on as a focal point to the attack.

Ultimately though, we lost and there’s a lot of soul searching to be done

Maddison needs to be on the bench.
Form not reputation Ange.

 

[Dr Know]

What was our record at conceding at set pieces before Ange?

 

[Tezza1978]

Decent comeback effort after a fucking awful first half. Left ourselves too much to do. Arsenal really hanging on at the end. The - small -silver lining is that we havent ruined our goal difference and showed sone backbone and spine. A lot to work on.

 

[vinsomer]

If Ange could coach set pieces we would have won that. Fuck.

 

[philll]

Oliver couldn't wait to blow that whistle.

He made a point of showing he was adding time on when Arsenal were mincing about in injury time and added the grand total of about 5 seconds.

 

[mattstev2000]

Players dug in and at least made that competitive. Ange still needs to pull his head out of his ass regarding his tactics though, the first half was just suicide.

Also, get a set piece coach.

Should have been 3-2 spurs. Kulu deserved a pen. they didn't even look at it and Saka scored.

Either Arsenal are very lucky or the league is corrupt. Either way we played well enough to get something.

 

[Romulus]

Man City... Spread my cheeks in a couple of weeks.

 

[BorjeSpurs]

FML.

One of the most biased pricks against us in the game. Every single game, whether he is on the pitch or in the VAR room. Should be investigated.

 

[ajspurs]

I'll be honest, it makes the goals we conceded even more annoying to accept. The approach to defending set pieces has to change, we've been victim of it time after time but for some reason continue to think we can get away with it.

Watching Kulusevski in the middle and even the energy and willingness to try and make things happen in Lo Celso with the short time he was on, makes me really hate thinking of the period we had Maddison in there.

 

[easley91]

We did ok all game. Just the ridiculous set piece defending.

Can't really remember too many clear cut Arsenal chances aside from Saka's goal and the Vicario foot save.

 

[Cheds]

Manager got it wrong

 

[keenu]

Too little too late, don't think Arsenal had to play well do beat us

 

[mr ashley]

Annoying to lose to corner fc
They aren’t special, their set prices are what set them apart.
we need to learn from them in that regard

 

[Hazelton]

Start the next game with the team that finished it, at least they showed fight.
