Spurs are much shitter than us on quality, then getting results pisses me off so much because they deserve nothing.

They have a very disciplined defense.

We didnt control the midfield and didnt control the match.....and this was at home.

Spurs did well for an away match.

Giving them a lot of credit they don't really deserve. They essentially parked the bus with a 5 man defence and played shit negative football

So this! Dembele just ran straight past him

I think you're underrating Dembele. The guys a world class dribbler. Cazorla level.


Well that's why I didn't want him to play, even though yago seems to think he's shit.

But we did it all day long, they were strolling through and we kept letting them


We was in no way ready for their tactical switch. Pretty smart from poch,. Wenger needs to train for 5 man midfields. Problem is even if we adapted coq and xhaka are not complete b2b they are not great offensively. To link up attack and then run back to defend. Ozil was very solo in offensive midfield.There was a cut off point that coq and xhaka knew they couldn't go so forward as spuds had plenty bodies.

To win this we had to play high risk football. With a player stepping out of routine.

Was one of those frustrating games that we've seen time and time again from Arsenal.

I wasn't that confident about this from the start because of our midweek came that we had to fight back from. These days it's impossible to play midweek to then perform at such a high level in the PL at the weekend. The intensity is too much which is why it was an even, scrappy game.

Our passing was off aswell as our press. I was shocked to see us sit off so much and let them play in the first half especially.

We need to get to grips with playing against three at the back. We created very little and both Iwobi and Theo were very quiet and poor when we fully expected them to be at it today with the rest the pair have been given.

Although a draw was a fair result i'm still disappointed. They were there for the taking today with the injuries they have but we didn't take it.

United away is a must win now.

Yh all they do is run a lot and keep it tight at the back, shit team with no quality in mid or attack really. Kane is decent but selfish as well, gave him a bit more credit after last year but still want to see him do it again, shite for England really.

This to be brutally honest. They played like they were away and we gifted them a lifeline that allowed them to either waste the second half with stoppages or pack the middle to stop us scoring.

They should be happy at the result. Save for hitting the post, they really didn't do much today.

...and Chelsea are no title contenders because they got embarrassed by us. and City are no title contenders because they couldn't kill off Boro.
Arsenal haven't won a trophy since 6 August 2017 and haven't won a big game since 8 March 2018.

Decent enough performance ... problem was 100% in our finishing, only 18% of shots (just 2) on target .... we should have hit the target 7 or 8 times at least from the positions we created ...

Credit to Poch ... missing his best CB and his only real AM he changed tactics and we didn't cope all that well ... same set up as M'boro with the same result ... we need to adapt quicker ....

No meltdown. But I honestly believe the table is misleading right now. we will be lucky to make top 4. We lack 2 things top team have. Great striker and ability to control midfields
