    10/11 players started against Bayern and most of them played against Swansea. Not surprised

    They are bossing us in midfield, people complained about Ramsey playing on the right, but we are missing him badly in this game, because he used to drift in and help us boss the midfield with extra numbers, right now we have Campbell out wide and Sanchez out wide, leaving Cazorla in particular isolated and Dembele is flying past him.

    0-1 isn't too bad at half time. We are more than capable of turning this game around at home. We really need to buck our ideas up. We are getting ****ed down our right flank. Without Ramsey and Bellerin we are continually exposed.

    Cazorla is being exposed badly in this game without the usual support he gets.

    Our bench is just tragic.

    What a crock of ****, we look rubbish offensively, we look rubbish defensively, Spurs are winning every second ball. Why the **** must Kos try to play offside like that, just run on to Kane and the ball, and we easily win the ball, end of story. ****s sakes, it's like watching repeat every time with Arsenal, after we conceded a very similar goal VS Munich, we go on and do the same dumb ******ed ****.

    The best thing for us was the half time whistle, they needed to be put of their misery, Spurs were playing around us like we were nothing in the last 10 minutes.

    Good thing is that if we lose then our boys will be gee'd up for the next game as they won't want to lose that one...

    Really poor after the first 10 mins. We're giving the ball away and letting them chase us down when we have it. No pressure on them in midfield and our right side looks badly exposed without Bellerin, Ramsey and Walcott. The goal was a travesty in terms of defending, Mert should have been closing Kane down as that ball was played. We are basically handing this game to the spuds at the moment. We need to be more committed and up the tempo otherwise we're just going to be on the back foot in the 2nd half.

    That goal was so bad from our point of view.

    Really poor, one ball into the channel to their danger man and nobody has picked him up. Shocking defending.

    Started well but faded as the half wore on. Spurs closing down our midfield and putting us under constant pressure. Until the goal though spurs hadn't looked like creating anything worthwhile, I can't see this becoming a high scoring game. Score and it's ours to win.

    We've looked tired, energy levels seem low. We don't have many options from the bench though so I'm not sure how we deal with that. The players are just going to have to dig deep and try to get a result.

    Giroud up top is meaning we can't pin back there defense as we don't have the pace to exploit the high line. Sanchez and Campbell between them need to help in field but also make runs beyond giroud so we have some kind of pace going at there backline.

    Cazorla and Sanchez have been woeful in the 1st half. Cazorla in particular seems really isolated, he needs to get much closer to Coquelin so that he can link up properly with Sanchez and Campbell.
