North London Derby: Arsenal vs Spurs 5.30

Have to push for the win. Best chances have all been from smashed crosses and shots.

Nice to see Gibbs on the scoresheet

SlickRic

The Arsenal midfield is far better balanced with Ozil where he is now.

A class above.

efb

Chambo 2 drills it

Omeceron

Could do with a few people in the box for corners.

And Ozil not taking them.

Interplay between Ozil, Cazorla and Sanchez all on the left has been good.

bentalab on the score the winner lads its fine:D

If its definitely a sub why does he need to sit on the pitch? Nice ambition spuds

So Rose wasn't actually injured?

tayto lover

We had 5 on the left wing there and nobody in the middle.

He wasn't injured though. Just time wasting.

Plenty of space down the right. Wouldn't be surprised to see the play switched soon, if my commentators are right and have a fresh player on their right.

I had to praise Chambers didn't I?

Aargh 1 yellow to suspension

davycc

he was injured we didnt even have a sub stripped and ready when he went down to be fair

efb

5

davycc

ade being lazy as usual i dont know how he has lasted the 90 offers nothing today

greendom

Expeccted more from Sanchez there

AdamD

Lamela's foul count must be high..

davycc

vertongen get the **** back in your defence line

tayto lover

We could get 100 corners and still pose no threat.

efb

Kos excellent there

he has gotten away with a lot in fairness

Nice result for Spurs

Another draw - deserved me

I want to have Chadlis babies:p a decent point and performance after expecting a hammering:)

Bit gutted. Spurs are poor. But we haven't the balls to destroy them. Ozil was wonderful. But we lack a real leader. Wenger keeping alexis on th bench is just strange.

keano_afc

2 points dropped against the worst Spurs team in years.

Chelsea next week, can we just not turn up and take the 3-0 defeat?

They were talking about this on Arseblog the other day, basically saying we can't play our game with Alexis and Wilshire on the pitch. They both give the ball away too much so it's one or the other. Kind of explains how Alexis didn't fit in at Barca too.

If Rambo's going to be out for a while, Wilshire needs to adjust his game. That thing that Flamini did today that lead to the goal - Wilshire does that stuff constantly when he's in CMF and it's dangerous.

Chamberlain is a decent lad for a gooner.

So because of Wilshire we can't play Sanchez and our world class 10 has to play out left?

wandatowell

Fair result.

Sloppy from Arsenal for the Spurs goal but our performance (bar a 15-20 minute spell) wasn't enough to win today.



The very slow start to our season continues.

Did MOTD (or Sky for that matter) cover the Lloris save. Like to see a few close ups to determine whether the ball crossed the line.

Thought Wilshere was fouled in the Spurs box as well

Wouldn't the ref's thing have beeped if it was over the line?

There's some gifs out there showing the ball further back than was indicated by the goal line technology. Would like to see some replays as after Lloris made his initial save the ball went backwards.

looked like a world class save by lorris on first viewing but MOTD didnt show this game yet;)

It was a fantastic effort by Lloris but I'd like to see some frame by frame shots after the initial save.

davycc

well hopefully a gif turns up to clear it up soon-

there was a touch by danny rose in the box where wilshire was dribbling in the box just before he turned his ankle in the 1st half if i recall ,even the biased sky lads at half time campbell and redknapp jr agreed never a penalty:D

Wait. You think Redknapp is biased towards Arsenal

He played for Spurs, his Dad managed them, there is only one team he biased towards,;)

Hawkeye proved it was not over the line.

You would think that he should be biased in favour of spurs but since his dad got sacked the Redknapp mafia and certain tabliod media chums have been getting cheap digs in at spurs players managers and directors at every half chance

Not convinced, would like to have seen more slow no after Lloris made the initial save.

If the ball was over the line at any stage the refs watch would have gone off. It didnt. The ball didnt cross the line. Very simple. they dont just turn the technology on for saves, it's on the entire time.

Let it go; it wasn't in. Showed clearly on MOTD, using the goal line technology. Not even borderline.
