Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

[mark87]

Two fucking weeks we've had to prepare for this game and that's what we serve up. Wankers.

If Maddison keeps starting then I’ll lose some faith with Ange. He’s been poor for months

Lo Celso shows composure every time.
Maddison just don't have the edge at this time

 

[Dillspur]

We didn't deserve to lose that

 

[Rage]

Buoyed by that second half. More like it. We are where we all hoped to be at the beginning of the season and that second half performance gives me a lot of confidence.

Was hoping Maddison would not start this game, it changed when he came off. Outstanding player but is in a dip right now and would benefit from time on the bench.

Overall, shit result, but application and endeavour in the second half gives me reason to be confident that we will be strong next year with a couple of key additions.

 

[Bobbins]

Lo Celso once again doing more in 5 minutes than Maddison does in 80.

 

[KILLA_SIN]

Need more tactical fouls we use to do that under Poch no where near enough now. Too Nice

 

[kitchen]

We didn’t create nearly enough in that game. The two goals we scored were gifts of sorts and even our disallowed goal was through sheer will rather than high quality attacking play.

That pen not given which led to their 2nd was the difference. Ange won’t call that out though and that annoys me. You don’t win in this league without putting the refs under pressure.

I'd say we created enough. xG was 2.73 to 1.28.

We had 14 shots to their 9. What more do you expect against a good team. We're not going to destroy them but we were the better team imo.

I agree the game changer was the penalty not given for kulu. If we get that we win that game.

 

[Spursberg]

be a sad couple of weeks coming up now, next 2 games is a loss guaranteed, City i hope we lose against just to stop these ****s.

We

You should learn something from every game and make adjustments. The adjustments being we should pull Maddison out of the team and start man marking corners.

or change the tactic based on the opposition

 

[gloryspur]

Salvaged pride 2nd half just too late. Please don't let Legoland win it come on City! They will be full of it now the gits!

 

[Trent Crimm]

Then we make the decision then. We cant keep chopping and changing managers.... between this and that turgid stuff I watched under Conte & Mourinho I'm happy to let him bulld something.

He deserves atleast 3 years... I would just like to see Ange integrate some youth players from our academy next season.

No way he’s getting 3 years to experiment. And he shouldn’t. This isn’t a charity. Giving someone 3 years to get it right in this league is laughable.

 

[Impspur1]

Upfront is lacking too mate

Yeah too often we just don’t click up top, so much better with Richy on which says to me that a no. 9 or 2 is a must next season

 

[mabolsa_ritchey]

It’s actually disgraceful how long we’ve gone with sticking with zonal marking and allowing the opposition to block our keeper at corners. Basically gave them the 3 points.

 

[poc]

We didn't deserve to lose that

We were the better team by a fair bit.imo but not coaching the basics at corners is awful. Didn't like the cuddling of arteta at the end wither but hey ho.

 

[mark87]

Im not being precious, they scored from 2 corners and one breakaway goal after Kulu was tripped in the box. Chill brother

You are being precious by calling people out who don't share your opinion, this is life, deal with it.

 

[Bobbins]

We didn't deserve to lose that

We definitely, definitely did

 

[spur_souljah]

Oliver gestures as though he's stopped the clock when arsenal time waste yet stops at 6 Mins on the dot. He's obviously not the reason we lost but we never seem to get a decision with him. Also he wasn't giving us that penalty either.

Feels so deflating losing the derby to two carbon copy set pieces. I mean we will always be hit on the counter and concede I've kind of accepted that.

 

[Hazelton]

Usually I feel like shit if we lose to them, but I don’t feel that bad today for some reason. Think set pieces aside we did alright and we were very unlucky not to score more than we did. Romero missed a hat trick of great chances.

Agree, it's not the performance that's bothering me it's the fact that they won. Didn't care how we did it, just really wanted their title challenge to end today by our hands.

The thing is, even with the xg we can't blame anyone but Ange and our coaching staff. If they knew how to organize defensive set pieces/a defence we would have won the game. But they can't. So we are not unlucky. Its a symptom of something else.

 

[cjbyid]

Richy offered more when he came on.

Just being an annoying little shit against Saliba and Gabriel helps.
