MATCH REPORT |
Another London derby and another three goals conceded in a performance that showed a lack of determination at the very least and left Spurs on a run with some players not reaching anywhere near the level that is necessary to take the club forward.
It was more or less the same team that took to the pitch against Chelsea the week before, but unlike the first half then, this cost Spurs the game without any great tactical change to prevent things going up the pictures. The first two minutes of the match were frenetic, but play did slow a little although a succession of fouls made play very stop-start. The first effort of the game came when Arsenal played the ball out from a free-kick and played through the Spurs midfield, creating a ball in from their left wing for Aubameyang to shoot to Hugo Lloris’ near post, but the Spurs skipper was down sharply to keep it out and Eric Dier cleared the ball away. When Kane was caught in two minds about what to do with it and stood on the ball, it gave Arsenal the ball to run away and score a third with Saka weaving his way into the box to put it past Hugo’s right hand after getting the bounce of the ball after Kane tackled him. Skippy and Royal came on for Dele and Tanganga, but apart from getting his tactics wrong at the start, it must have been Nuno’s hardest decision in who to remove from the play. To exemplify our luck on the day, a deflected Moura shot was just about reached by Ramsdale’s fingertips to touch it onto the bar. I’m not saying that we deserved much out of the game, but without a bit of good fortune it is difficult to get much out of the game. They say you make your own luck and that is what Spurs didn’t do in the first half. We looked more lively when Skipp got off the bench and Bryan came on near the end, but for the preceding time, we lacked any energy to make Arsenal worry about our attacks. East Stan |
