[Football] How did we rate Spurs?

How did we rate Spurs?

I reckon on that performance they were third best at the Amex behind Man City and Liverpool (with Coutinho) and ahead of clinical Chelsea, with Man U still to play. That makes Arsenal the fifth best so far at home.

Their pressing game was more reminiscent of Man City (but it actually took Man City a breakaway to score, although their offside goal looked good).

Stonewall penalty, Aurier took Izzy's foot as he was about top unleash a "special". Son caused all the trouble and we would have been dead and buried without the formidable Bruno.

I thought we countered their 90 minute pressing game by retaining possession enough to stifle their creativity. We have learned and practised. Still conceded from open play and only the top six have done that.

I don't think Spurs are all that exciting. Efficient more than dangerous,

Sixth best opponents at the Amex? I think the worst were Everton.

Very efficient, although playing at a low rate and very quick to close us down. Not sure if it is so but they seemed to be playing within themselves being more interested in getting the game out of the way injury and card free.than pushing for 3 points.

This.

Arsenal light years behind. Despite having a team/squad so expensively assembled, full of internationals:

They play the beautiful game and boy, they're handsome fellas, especially the Tango dancing lothario Poch. I can't wait for their future visits. COYS

A great night then?

Your own original post cannot be altered by anyone other than you.

I was just being creatively silly, knowing your affection for Spuds.

Not really as I was 100% behind BHA and cheered like mad when Gross scored the penalty

Yes things are done differently around these parts. That's what we do. Not like you obviously.

They were well set up but there were some dreadful individual performances: Eriksen was way below his usual standards, Aurier was a liability as ever and Sissoko is just not a very good footballer.

Strange. I thought Aurier, penalty aside, was one of their best footballers and had Izquierdo in his pocket all game aside from that.

Sissoko is a very good footballer but definitely got outshone by Wanyama. I wouldn’t have said he was particularly below par though.

The only one I was disappointed with was Eriksen.
