Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal - Match Thread - Day 11

[John48]

Sky trying their hardest to put a negative on us. I hate how they're going with the whole 'Spurs will take anything' as an answer to how we're doing too, so lazy.

Thing is we're still a work in progress, people forget that we had these same attacking players and were playing like shit for a while when trying to play as they want to see us playing and we were also wide open at the back.

We can't all bloody play like Liverpool and Man City. We are much better off playing like this than how we were before this when we actually were trying to be more expansive. We had/have the players to be playing more attacking but we can't forget that when we were trying to do that, for whatever reason it just wasn't happening.

That's why I put them on mute. Just listen to their whining.

Redknapp you weren’t good enough for us when we were shit, you wouldn’t get near this team now. Jog on thicko.

Give him Ben's job....sitting up a tree and watching the wolrd go by.

Still not for me. 2 moments of brilliance but the rest is just terrible negative anti-football stuff. Jose is a very lucky manager but if all teams played like his people would stop watching the game.

“I would rather we played flowing attacking football and lost 4-2 to make more people watch the game”, claims liar.

What a wonderful day! We beat Arsenal to go back to the top of the table after 11 games. I think we're underdogs, but in my opinion we are genuine title contenders for the first time since the 1980s.

I just hope that we can switch up the style against obviously weaker teams and unlock them. Counter attacking football won't work against teams that don't attack us very often.

 

[Rout-Ledge]

The most exciting thing for me is that they are rising to the challenge of winning games to put a
us top of the table. That is not the Spurs I know.

I love it tbh 29 years and 2 league cups, Im fed up of playing pretty football, losing and getting bullied out of winning big matches.
Jose sets up the team the way the opponent of the day would find it hardest to play against.
I like the aggression the passion everyone fighting for the cause

 

[davidmatzdorf]

Best bit of punditry today: Alex Scott, in the nicest possible way, telling her colleagues and the public that she's a better analyst than Patrice Evra.

'Cause he lost it when his team got beaten by Spurs and she kept it together when hers did.

[ouch]

Sky trying their hardest to put a negative on us.

When our own fans are at it like some of them are on SC then we can hardly complain. Especially after that embarrassing reaction to the LASK game.

 

[dagraham]

Haha, why does Alex Scott thinks the players are feeling restrictive playing the Mourinho way. Hilarious. We are top of the table for a reason.

She gets a free pass due to the high heels and leather trousers combo.

Oh just give it a rest now. What more do you people want? We are top of the league and haven't lost since the opening day! We tried the playing attractive thing for years and it won us NOTHING!!!!!!

Just FYI, Arsenal will drop another place tomorrow if Brighton beat Southampton.

Hahaha, football is so hard for you. Mourinho has shown he is really one of the best tactician in this game. If you couldn't look beyond this and appreciate this jewel we are having now, where we are possibly gonna have the ultimate crown at the end of the season, you are better off supporting other teams until Mourinho left us. It really is for the good of you.

The really weird thing is one of their YT fans said a few weeks back that Arsenal would be 16th for Xmas.

He could be right!!

 

[hamsup_sotong]

they had chances to score, they just didn’t take them. Not sure if say we were playing Liverpool we’d get away with a clean sheet. Though this is the best defensive team I’ve ever seen us have.

Jose will have us pinning pools full backs down.. he let arsenal cross because they're useless in the air

 

[taidgh]

Alex Scott speaking some sense and being positive about Jose’s methods

Smart and smoking hot. Good combination.

 

[Flobadob]

So was John Terry that good under Mourinho because he’s John Terry, or was it because of Mourinho’s tactics? Because Dier has been absolutely phenomenal recently

 

[EQP]

The fact that we conserved energy in that 2nd half is going to crucial for this December run. I think we'll see this setup where Jose is happy to sit back after we've taken a lead.

 

[shelfboy68]

Couldn't care less what pundits think or don't think about as popularity contests won't win us the league.
This team is seriously well drilled team with everyone happy and pulling in the same direction, we are on the verge of greatness and I can't wait.
