    our attack in general feels like it lacks potency.

    Not if the manager isn’t the right one

    Vicario is so so weak. 3 yards out, he needs to be so much stronger

    It’s so predictable

    Romero and Vicario at fault there. Same old defensive issues. What are the coaches doing in training?

    Vicario bumping into his own players,
    because they have to try and protect him
    as he is too fragile in the box.

    You can’t concede goals like that and expect to be challenging the top teams. It’s pathetic. For all the pretty football and possession any team that we face will just flood our 6 yard box and stick a good ball in..

    Ange wanted Vicario over Raya because of Vicario’s story. It’s on the manager.

    Changes too late. And won't address either the defensive weakness or the lack of final third creativity. We'll see...

    Our defenders always seem to be at fault. We’ve seen a couple recently come from situations in which we would hope are avoidable. But regardless, the system itself will invite goals anyway. I feel more focus/blame should be put on our non existent attack, who, unless playing poor opposition are completely clueless.

    Waited to concede before making changes

    It’s on the manager like the defensive issues. He talks about being attacking and just accepting that Spurs will concede goals when top teams hate conceding. Spurs are far too easy to play against.

    All the goals we have conceded this season have been completely avoidable. I am a big fan of Ange and want him to have time, but this is a massive Achilles heel and he has to sort it out bloody soon

    Can I ask what makes you a big fan of Ange?

    I’ve been undecided since day one but a lot of fans seems to give him a lot more leeway than he deserves (imo) and I don’t know why

    There’s the difference there. Arsenal are desperate not to concede or give big chances away. Spurs almost accept giving them away.
