Fuck Off Back To The Little Leagues: EPL 21/22

yeah hard to say "ship is righted" when your opponent fires off 18 shots (13 on target) at you and just bottle the finishing

victory! of sorts. i'll take it.

hopefully a bit of confidence for players and manager, a boost for Raul, another week to work on the issues. reading about the game and listening to the last 20 minutes is worrying when we were playing so well a few weeks back

Yeah Raul scoring I assume is the main factor, hopefully the first of many

ESR makes old school arsenal runs, he finds that place in the 6 yard box, so needed in this team

Spurs’ midfield looks adrift. No strategy going forward, no ability to stop Arsenal when they attack.

The Dutch league's always been high scoring. Goals are no guarantee of entertainment... or quality.

that's true. maybe if you add higher possession in the last third, that may make it more entertaining

I've got my window open, I'm guessing Arsenal are 2-0 up?

Yep.

Indeed.

Arsenal crowd isn't usually that loud tbh.

lovely interplay between aubamayang and ESR, Smith Rowe adds a directness with his unselfish, clever movement

3-0?

Yes, shocking performance.

Dearie me.

Could end up six or seven.

that was a great goal by saka

Yeah, good goal.

They might as well be playing the under 18s.

This is getting ridiculous

lol, kane crucial in the build up play there, drops like a sack of spuds for the initial error and then manages a sliding tackle that somehow avoids the ball completely, allowing saka clean through..it was a good looking tackle, zero contact with anything useful, but it looked good, thanks 'arry

all show and no go, lol. sorry.

The amount of space Arsenal have on the wings is unbelievable. It’s like Spurs are playing without fullbacks.

Nuno now 19/10 favourite to be the first manager sacked.

Jose also 2-0 down after twenty minutes in a derby at the moment tbf.

love that arteta has accommodated ESR and Saka, in a workable team, finally...for ones so young, they have literally years of experience playing together, coming through the academy at arsenal, that understanding is priceless for a coherent attack, at this level, we are decisive and threatening

glad to see Smith Rowe has finally scored in the PL

Four?

no he scored the first goal

No, I can hear the crowd from my flat and that sounded like another goal.

Dammit My Mother came by to use my washing machine and smoke all my cigarettes, what's happenning? Oh...

Stonewall pen

Xhaka off

World-class save ramsdale

We were robbed of this one tbh

I missed the moments Tottenham were robbed of this, genuinely.and a bit confused...you had a few chances but arsenal ran the majority of this game, amazing save from ramsdale, arsenal transfers fitting in nicely, doing that thing you assume should happen every time i.e. strengthening the team in key areas

No no we were robbed and are actually an excellent and admirable group of players and not cunts

Nuno hasn't figured this team out and I for one, am a happy man today, thanks for the 1st half no show, totts, we needed this bad, you have no idea.

Nuno can stay its senior players and chairman need gone

nuno blaming the players is kind of hilarious. levy is destroying kane's career

Have spurs won a game since Nuno got August's manager of the month?

Nuno took blame himself

Kane is destroying kanes career

maybe his brother has murdered his career, oh no the old testament story is other way round

well he certainly didn't prove himself abel today

Lmao

lol

i mean levy didn't want to negotiate with man city to move kane

it seems to me that spurs focus too much on their striker at the cost of the rest of their players, but spurs' style doesn't jibe with me, so whatevz

Would agree with the second part

No onus on us to negotiate anything with anyone for a player under contract though

No onus, but...I thought the received wisdom, from a squad point of view is that if a player wants to go, then there's no point in keeping them at the club...I recognise moving kane on might have been a hard sell to the fans, at the start of the season but.....it was a lot of money to rebuild with

Think there's an identity crisis at play abt us being a final destination club for top talent which relative to how levy carries on in every other facet is delusional unless it's performative to appease fans so id agree there

Our squad is gummed up with youths done good who have stopped doing it for us

Didnt tbh think kane had this in him mind you and citys offer was an insult, so....both sides, a bit

as an arsenal supporter, I was worried we had become too relient on children of Wenger that have played at the club for years, but hit ceilings in their development. A few good transfers have really changed that picture again. This league needs you now to have top players across the whole team. Good, sometimes very good players just don't cut it anymore without some world class in there..at least in the fight at the top positions in the table.

dele Ali is one i think needed to have gone somewhere else by now, definition of unmet potential, way more talented than he's been showing, its a shame

Three years since he delivered in a run, or at all

The free striker role, running into gaps and space to finish, was a great gig for him

Anything requiring keeping the ball, playing smart and (at this stage) work is showing him up as a quite limited player

Most english players are done developing as professionals once they perform once in a league game, i dont envy coaches working with these lads

Reports of a training ground mutiny this morning

How the fuck could they tell tbh

I liked Nuno's efforts at Wolves a lot but the three Spurs performances I've seen really make me feel like it's really bad fit.

His last season at Wolves was pretty bad, tho maybe not entirely his fault
