lorddulaarsenal hopefully not, he's good for Tottenham and too entertaining!
Arsenal vs Tottenham | Wednesday 15th January | 20:00 UK Time.
The lack of cutting edge up front makes it very hard to watch Arsenal these days. How does Øde miss that chance so close to goal? And Havertz is gone. Can't even help keep the ball under pressure. And boy do I hope Sterling is on an looong contract at Chelsea. What a fraud.
We are so horrendously bad in the final actions.
Loved Tierney's cross/pass to whoever that was who fucked it up after. Shame how it's panned out with him

He's a brilliant crosser. Always played to someone instead of the aimless shit we always try.
Get in. Nothing better than beating this lot.
Hopefully that will give them all a bit of confidence it's badly needed. Villa next will be very tough.

gabby and dec dragged us through this. great performances from them
spurs tried gifting us goals multiple times. the fact it only finished 2-1 is a testament to how inefficient we are. KSE need to dig into the emergency-emergency fund to bail us out of this shit. I was sceptical but I'd take sesko or gyokeres at this point. anyone who's focused on getting goals and can shoot on target with power.
Arteta should be pulling Martinelli up after the game and show him that incident multiple times and throw the kitchen sink at him .
But no he'll probably pat Marti on the back and praise him for winning a corner.
Seriously I just stopped watching and walked away after seeing that. Hair pulling stuff.
Big result just for the mindset is the players and club. Hopefully it settles the team and we can try and put some consistency together and test Liverpool for a decent period.
In some ways it feels like we put a decent shift in and there were a couple of good performances.
On the other, we were so open, we didn’t seem able to exert any control or dominance on the game when we really needed to, and we made really hard work of a game against a poor Spurs team with a nervy goalie and a makeshift defence.
Myles Lewis-Skelly though. The maturity
for his age is amazing.
We snatched a fortunate 2-1 from the jaws of a 5-1 because of the absolute state of the front three. I can also see why Man Utd wanted Timber as CB. He offers absolutely nothing in the final third. I deeply miss Ben White's slithering runs, the cheeky one-twos and the devlish dinks.
And regarding Odegaard, I've been a big fan of his and often flipped between having him or Saka as our best players, but his output needs examining. For an attacking midfielder to be this hopeless in front of goal and to have the shooting technique of a Tony Pulis centre back is an embarrassment.
Just back from the game. I really enjoyed it, despite the fact it should have been 5, felt like a proper football hit.
Thought Partey was excellent, although very leggy towards the end and did something brilliant immediately followed by something brainless.
MYLES LEWIS SKELLY. Holy fucking shit. What a player this kid is, amazing head on his shoulders for one so young.
Given how poor Tross and Sterling were, I think the performance was excellent and it was great to feel the stadium come to life again. Bit worried about how we'll go against Villa though, given the effort we put on tonight, but at least we go into this game off a big performance.
Spurs with something to complain about with the corner is a lovely cherry on top.
Liking the love MLS is getting in this thread. Kid is baller. We've hit the jackpot with him and Nwaneri.
Good performance and we should have won that game a lot more comfortably.
Understandably though players are probably feeling it. We’ve had a lot of games and some bad results but still did enough to win this game. Would have hoped we would have scored another because at 2-1 its always risky.
MLS has impressed me more than Nwaneri. He gives off the same "wise beyond his years" aura that Cole and Saka did when they joined the first team and took to it like ducks to water.

How shameful it was for Sterling to mess up that great ball by MLS

Delighted with the result. Thought it was curtains when they scored as couldn't see a way any of our players got the ball in the net.
Attack, or goal scoring ability still obviously a concern. For all the dominance on the ball and “touches in the opposition area” we didn’t exactly pepper the goal and still needed some good fortune to score with an own goal deflecting off two Spurs players and a shot the keeper should have saved. At least it was a genuine shot on target which is a start! Otherwise don’t think the keeper had a real save to make.
A win is a win, especially in the NLD but still not confident of scoring enough goals with only who we currently have. But will enjoy today at least.
MLS has a lot to learn defensively but my word is he a talent. Reminds me of Essien.
Dom I can also see why Man Utd wanted Timber as CB. He offers absolutely nothing in the final third. I deeply miss Ben White's slithering runs, the cheeky one-twos and the devlish dinks.
I thought Timber was good with the ball, not as much without it. He dribbled well, his passing was sharp. Not sure what more Ben White would have given us in attack.

We'd 11 open play shots. 2.26 xg. I think we created well last night.
