Tottenham 2-0 Arsenal - Sunday 6th December, 2020

[Inverted]

Should be an interesting tactical battle.

One of the most negative and reactionary managers in Premier League history... against Jose Mourinho.

[Danny]

Xhaka should have been yellowed there clearly, ref being lenient.

Son vs Bellerin is a mismatch

Made me laugh when he got up and protested against it being a foul too

[Bluewolf]

Need Arsenal to do us a solid in this one... 

[N U F C]

What a goal

[Stan]

Holy shit that was unreal. 

[Bluewolf]

Thanks for nothing Arsenal.... 

[Danny]

I said Son vs Bellerin was a mismatch but in fairness Bellerin would need to be back in position for a mismatch to occur lol

[Lucas]

Xhaka is so cynical isn't he. How he's not been booked yet I don't know.

[JoshBRFC+]

Sonaldo what a man. His and Kane's partnership could potentially go down in history this season. 

[DeadLinesman]

Hojbjerg is a bit of a fanny isn’t he 

[Stan]

2-0 Kane. Spurs on the break are so dangerous. 

[Panna King]

Bellerin needs to fuck off disgrace of a footballer who cant even take throw!  How many foul throws has he done this season.

[Inverted]

Absolutely brilliant counter.

This half has just felt so uncompetitive. Spurs just give off the aura of a team that knows the opposition can’t hurt them, and knows the goals are there for them when they eventually blunder. 

[Panna King]

Hope Tottenham now thrash us so it be impossible for Arteta to stay on. 

[Storts]

Best front two in the world. Half the job done but long way to go yet 

[Cicero]

Didn’t think Arsenal played too bad. Just ineffective in the final third and Bellerin constantly out of position. 

[The Artful Dodger]

Mourinho masterclass again, Arsenal just playing into their hands. Surely Ozik should be getting a look in.

[Danny]

There really is an agenda amongst the media regarding Mourinho and this killer mentality that apparently never existed under Poch. He had Spurs in a Champions League final and amongst continuous top 4 finishes whilst competing on a much lower budget and their rivals and moving stadiums they also finished runners up.

Think they’d be better with Ozil if I’m honest.

Well it’s typical Mourinho 2nd season syndrome too. The media love it. More so than Mourinho’s inevitable 3rd season syndrome. 

[Inverted]

I think the main factor is Arsenal being practically relegation-level when it comes to attacking play. They basically can’t create a chance. At all. 
 

Couple that with their shaky midfield and disjointedness in possession, and it does kind of make the tactical approach obvious for Mourinho and Spurs: sit back, let them frustrate themselves in their efforts to attack, let Kane and Son pounce on the inevitable mistakes. 

Credit to them for them for executing it well, though.

Heard that in pretty much every game we’ve played this season... It’s like it’s by design or something

Bellerins been out of position every game you’ve played?

[Storts]

Atkinson is having a shocker here. Giving a foul every single time an Arsenal player throws themselves to the floor. How has Xhaka not been booked
