***OMT: Mighty Spurs vs Woolwich***

And yet an Eriksen cross found Harry unmarked in the box for a rather presentable chance.

Something, something broken clocks, something correlation.

Anyway, painful viewing at times, but we should really be ahead. They will tire second half and we'll get our chances.. Trying to stay positive. COYS
 
This will either carry on as is and fizzle out into a 0-0, or 1 goal either way and it'll really open up and crank up about 5 levels

Arse will settle for a point here - think we need to be proactive and try to open it up. Given Dembele rarely gets through 90 mins, that might mean bringing Moura on for him after an hour and dropping Dele and Eriken a little deeper - kind of like a 4-3-3 or a 4-1-4-1

Poor, very poor attacking wise.

Created next to nothing and the final ball has not been good enough which means we have wasted a lot of openings to create

Don't be so melodramatic. They are defending well but we have still got through a couple of times. We need to be patient.
 
Where is our intensity and tempo? very disappointing. Rose on and Davies off. Rose will provide some power and pace. Give Son another twenty than get Lamela on.
 
Well, so much for their defense being brick. They have contained us pretty well so far. Refereeing has been a bit brick, but I'll trade all those non-calls for the Auba offside (which was very very close).
 
Arsenal do not want another away day walloping hence they have worked on their defensive organisation. They have had a week to prepare after all.

We always struggle when the mid-table sides come to us and put ten men behind the ball.

Zing!

But true. Guys - don’t react much to this half. Arsenal came to contain and give us the ball. We are feeling each other out. Of course our attacking players aren’t going to do much notable because they are being crowded out. It’s always harder to break down a defensive team in the first half when they are fresher, and it has been most important not to concede on the break.

I expect / hope our fitness to kick in with the second half, and Arsenal won’t be able to help themselves going forward at some point. Our players look up for it though, absolutely no complaints from me with that half.
 
It's like watching Spurs vs <insert bottom half tem here>, we're playing a team that came to defend and counter attack. They're showing no guile and no passion to win this and it's all about not losing.

We've had many teams come and do that and go away with nothing i don't expect anything different today.

Dier and Dembele taking too long when they have the ball, and Dier in particularly seems to be jogging around a bit.

Yeah, they both need to move the ball on quicker. Dier has been particularly rusty. He's looked quite slow and sloppy.

If Wenger settles for a draw, he is playing a dangerous game with their Top 4 chances, they could be 7pts off 4th place by Monday with 11 games left. Personally think they need to win today and fully expect them to come out more dangerous in the 2nd half, which, could be of benefit to us
