Qwiss how many of those shots forced an actual save that wasn't straight at him? I guess creating the opportunities is not the issue, but we haven't got a finisher. I expect more games like this that end 1-1 or that we don't manage to equalise in.
I think White stretches teams a bit more offensively, challenges more physically, and is a bit more varied in his approaches than Timber.
Tam tbf to Timber, I think he is also now suffering from where Benny Blanco got to, which is that he is having to play all of the football - and it's probably quite physically demanding. Especially off the back of his ACL. I remember commenting a few weeks back that he seemed like a Rolls Royce footballer - but if you keep driving a car to its limits, eventually the engine breaks.
That's the end of the analogy, you'll be pleased to hear.
Levy must be resisting the urge to dial Ryan Mason
Timber is just knackered. He has been playing at 60% of his ability lately.
Just watched this finally. I love Gabriel. Happy with the result but not the performance.
We look shit but if we get even one point closer to Liverpool, the league is well and truly on. Time for a jet off to Dubai.
I'm sure the refs will be pushing to change the rules of VAR so decisions like this can be overturned in the future.....
I can't believe how much of a big deal they are making about a possible wrong corner call. These things happen in nearly every game yet when it benefits us its a massive issue that needs to be fixed or its an awful shame or whatever. They gave us a corner not a penalty or a red card for Spurs.

Whenever Arsenal is involved the producers will very, very often seize on any available controversy and spin it against us because it maximises engagement.
Burnwinter what you mean one point?
If we can beat Villa, sign 1/2 players this window, go to Dubai then I think things will look more promising.
Sicario2 - Tier 1 I mean we're already close enough to challenge them, and if we get even one point closer that'll be fully apparent once more.
Timber's a great defender and has far better close control than Ben White but he doesn't have his pace, overlaps or crossing ability. Even with Saka playing ahead of him I haven't felt that Timber knows what to do in the final third beyond safe passes or cut backs that rarely beat the first man.
Thought I recognised a song played at half time on Wednesday. Turns out it was Slow Chemical by Finger Eleven, which used to be WWE walk on music for Kane. Little reminder for Spurs fans of how things used to be. Nice work DJ Selenki!
Thinking about it, they are the perfect example of how transformative a great striker can be.
RocktheCasbah I heard that, thought it was Undertaker music but thats brilliant.
Qwiss I couldn't place it at the time, I knew it was WWE adjacent - but whooooo?
RocktheCasbah
Or was it a subtle hint that they are to us what Kane was to the Undertaker haaha
