Cracking game, just missing a winner at the end. Arsenal's hunger in the second half was scary at times. If they can replicate a fraction of that on the road this season they should walk into the top four and possibly challenge Spurs for 3rd if they don't improve. Problem is we've seen this before from Arsenal. Remember thinking exactly the same after they beat them 4-2 in a similar kind of game last season and they were, surprise surprise, same old Arsenal. They're just too unreliable. Both of these two are sublime and ridiculous, have been for years and the fact they hate each other basically guarantees a brilliant game between the two. Long may it continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 2,201 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Spurs need this international break desperately, they need the window to shut and to build some cohesion. Once the window shuts then it doesn't matter if they have players who want to leave, they'll all get their head down, Poch will trust them and Spurs will be off. Spurs biggest need this season is to finish top 4 because they don't want to be balancing the squad after Eriksen, Vertonghen and Alderweireld have left on a free or for a minimal fee on Europa League money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirBalon 2,692 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Just got back from the game... The atmosphere was awsome for Arsenal standards and in that respect I enjoyed myself but I have too many negative things to say about us where football is concerned. I honestly can't wait until Xhaka leaves, he's shit and Maitland-Niles isn't a player for this level at all. Aside from that... Spurs were always crap but we were worse than crap in the first half while in the second half we showed more passion and that found them out on how crap they are which is why we pulled the game back thanks to that so important Lacazette goal before the end of the first period. Could've even won it which is amazing! Ceballos should've started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Storts+ 2,424 Posted September 1, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted September 1, 2019 Ahhhh proper missed opportunity that. Arsenal properly there for the taking - they look absolute shite. Goal on the stroke of half time was the turning point - as was Kane crashing one against the post. We go 3-1 up or go in 2-0 I think we win the game. struggled early second half and arsenal deserved to equalise but thought we came on strong again and could easily have won it. Wrong decisions as usual and our best chance falling to Sissoko. Typical. Probably our best performance of the season in terms of some of the spells we had. Need Monday to come and go and Eriksen and Jan to be back properly and Lo Celso who I thought had some decent touches to be integrated and season should get going properly for us after the international break we’ve played two of our 5 hardest games of the season though and are unbeaten in them so that’s something. Pretty gutted to throw that away but would have taken a point at the start. They’re always more up for this fixture than we are - particularly recently, shows how the tables have turned. Atkinson was diabolical though - gave them a free kick every time they hit the ground, and some phantom bookings yet somehow Xhaka stayed on the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t handle son at all first half and had so many opportunities on the counter just made made decisions. Your defence was all over the place - very frustrating not to make more of the opportunity we had especially being 2-0 up. Thought we were so comfortable until that Lacazette goal too. Shocking from us to concede when we did. And then Kane hitting the post when scoring would have killed it. Ah well. Happy enough with a point overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats are everything. Your defence was all over the place and we broke so often in behind your midfield. Wrong ball so often. Draw probably fair result but as I said frustrating to blow the lead in the way we did - stroke of halftime then hitting the post. We should have gone on to win that. Game management wasn’t good enough. But encouraged by our performance on the counter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asura 319 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Spurs slightly better in the first half but Arsenal clearly dominant in the second. If only that idiot named Mkhitaryan could take a good touch then he could have easily scored the third goal. What a waste of opportunity that was when the spurs defender gave him the ball in their box and he was almost one on one with the keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchalkeUK 402 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 The urban dictionary puts it like this:Short for "Having a nightmare". Often used when things have gone completely tits up and you have no control over what the fxxx is going on. Sat at home watching a game on Tv is just that and you two letting a guy from Liverpool wind you up is just daft - Kloppy will be smiling today and not just at this set of comments - both teams today were up and down in concentration and that's what went wrong. At the moment the 'pool' are using their heads more and the table show that. Me, O'm in my 80's so I'm past the kids stuuf, just trying to be realistic - the PL would be a lot worse without either of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one point in the game where the ball had been in the arsenal 3rd 1% Ok, well I suppose every single person who watched that game, saying how good it was, must be wrong and you are right.
