    Arsenal playing a traditional 442 and look solid and yet able to break and defend easily.
    Maybe Ange needs to have a Plan B...

    Yep. The bigger issue for me though is the lack of threat when we have corners ourselves.

    At least we should be threatening from set pieces.

    The football is a whole lot better and I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt that it’s a process and that eventually we will reap the benefits.
    Like with Klopp and Arteta, you could see what they were trying to do.
    But keeping on conceding such poor goals from set pieces is really infuriating and undoes so much of the good work that he is doing.

    Yep. The idea being that we'll score more, which is great if it actually happens.

    If not, we just look like a bunch of bellends playing with ourselves,

    We aren’t scoring today even if we played until midnight. It’s been men against boys when we go forward.

    it’d take Liverpool and Arsenal fans to answer this, but was there any improvement that gave them hope during that period?
    I haven’t seen any improvement yet this season. Nothings changed for me.

    Johnson was rightly hauled, but frankly Sonny has been equally ineffective.
    We need a spark urgently.

    Maddison did a lot of talking before the game. During the game he did very little (again)

    that’s my point mate. It’s the same stuff we were seeing last season that’s the reason why we’re not seeing 3 wins from 3.

    The phrase 'flatters to deceive' was created for Maddison.

    I’m hoping Solanke will eventually come good!
    Yeah I get your point totally, I’m just desperate for him to be successful as the football we play is good and he’s a good guy.
    I’ll reserve judgment to the end of this season.

    He’s a fair weather player if ever I’ve seen one. Looks good when things are rosy but not the sort who helps enough when you need someone to dig in deep

    We have a lot of players like that sadly. Romero is a true leader and warrior for Argentina but I don’t see that for Spurs. We have no one who will grab the team by the scruff of the neck when the going gets tough

    Don’t even look like scoring tbh.
