Tottenham Vs Arsenal: Match Thread

[hughy]

Apart from the goal we've been very good

I can't remember a single decent chance we've had, I wouldn't call that very good.

We've been OK. Nothing more.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

We had to get a goal before HT if we were to win this IMO.

Wenger will sort Arsenal out now.

 

[nedley]

Yep. Credit where it's due.

Naughton's had a good half there.

 

[jolegend]

Bentaleb is so scared to do anything that will cause arse problems. Waste of a player.

 

[jonathanhotspur]

I am in shock. We are moving the ball so much quicker. Where on earth did that come from?

Apart from some awful defensive lapses, we have looked good in possession.

 

[WiganSpur]

Bentaleb off please Paulinho on.

 

[idontgetit]

Great performance so far. Scum took advantage early on when we were settling in to the new set up.

CB's are looking shaky and we're lacking class in the final 3rd but that's what you get with a new set-up. If we'd played three or four games with a set-up like this we'd be really good

 

[JRegan]

I do hope Tim doesnt leave it till the 89th minute to make a sub...

 

[Chris Flynn]

Oh, didn't realize Gary 'cant keep it in his trousers' Linker did stuff on American TV

 

[theShiznit]

Is Danny Rose tired or something?

He seems to lie down every time someone comes close to him.

Arsenal know they can just sit back and wait for our poor back line to F up.

Naughton's been our best defender...

 

[millsey]

Very proud of that. Don't deserve to be losing. Playing them off the park. No lack of effort. Keep going boys Believe!

 

[TH1239]

We have no end product because we have Bentaleb and Townsend playing in 2 of the 5 key attacking positions. These two have shown they do not have end product or creativity, but some people here and our manager seemingly can't see it.

We've seen this same fucking story over and over again. We'll come out flying in the second half with no changes until they score on the counter and then Sherwood will make wholesale changes at minute 75. He needs to be proactive and make changes at the half, or we won't win this.

 

[MaccSpurs]

It's actually all Bale's fault the selfish bastard!

 

[Don_Felipe]

Typical innit - look the better team, but don't really see us scoring and we're losing

Soldado to come on, get a hat-trick and dedicate it to Lamela?

 

[TEESSIDE1]

We look lively as a team but that's where the positives end.

Lucky not to be 2 or 3 down
Defence is shambolic
Zero, nil pois, nada, 0, zilch efforts on target, shameful

 

[Rout-Ledge]

Apart from the goal we've been very good

But nothing really too dangerous created.

I'd be less surprised to see Arse punish us on the break than to see us score.

 

[Macspur261]

I'd like to see Soldado 2nd half, but not sure who should go off ?

 

[nferno]

If we lose but still carry on this level of performance I won't even be that mad.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

The thing with Bentaleb is TS has done him no favours by continuing to put him in the first team. He needs to work on a number of things in the U21 team, where there is an opportunity to improve. First team is no place to be working on your game.

Schoolboy from Rose

You expected anything different?
