Thank goodness. People who are absolving Gabriel of the blame to solely blame Xhaka should see this
The thing is we all saw it. Dunno why some have to reduce it to agenda. That's hilarious. The tackle was reckless.

Highest goalscorers list all time. The only active player on that list currently is no. 30. He will need to spend 5more seasons, with 15goals each EPL season average to break into the top 10. Emirates needs players that will stay 7yrs and scorer double figures steady to overtake Laca and Auba.

Just some sprinkle of RVP...

Bukayo Saka-18 goals.

That's one good thing about Jesus, he's always putting pressure on defence and always ready to pounce on any error . He’s a total and complete upgrade from Lacazette
I've seen some specialist analyze that goal. It could qualify as a backpass, and the fact that it confused Lloris, made his reaction very disadvantaged. He wasn't sure. So... Advantage Arsenal.



I swear, total upgrade. Laca plays deep. Jesus is the box when he needs to be and playing deep when it needs be. The pace is key. His emergence has give some new roles to both Martinelli and Xhaka. Although most goals has come from the LHS. One we sharpen that leakage, it will leave Setpieces as the only dangerous chance for opponents.


If Trossard and Welbeck can do that to Liverpool at first half, i believe we can recreate those Van Persie days vs Liverpool.

Two more buys and this team looks clean. I wished Elneny played over Lokonga though. But Sambi's passes were accurate, but scary on two occasions. Once he takes up the pace aspect, he's good to go.

It’s one of Xhaka’s weaknesses that caused that goal. He lacks that ability to control the ball and turn with it immediately. I’ve seen Zinchenko do it severally without any issues , but Xhaka seem to be unable to it hence that loose ball he played back.

At half-time on Saturday, Granit Xhaka is understood to have apologised for his role in what led to Tottenham being awarded a first-half penalty that Harry Kane dispatched to equalise. Xhaka failed to clear in the box before Gabriel’s poor tackle.


Copied


That should settle this.

True? I don't think so.

He is the real leader of the team. Ode just dey carry arm band ni. Just look at how he sharply called a meeting after that first goal..
He was saying that during post match na. Maybe he's joking.


Besides, Xhaka is the actual captain of this team. Arteta sef. Once he loves a player, he's blinded. He loves White-so he must play. He loves Odegaard as Captain- thus Armband.


The question of leader was seen today when the ref called Odegaard to talk to his guy after a foul. Ode just tap his chest infront of ref and bounced off. Twas hilarious sha. Captain go talk to hin guy proper.


Like Terry to Lamps or Mikel that year. Even down to talks, like See Jesus after one goal. That is captain duty. Ode just dey look too grin

The entire sequence that led to the goal was chaotic.. but for Gabu’s level of experience he should have stayed up. The angle was already against him as he had very little or no chance of making contact with the ball.
That red changed everything. But one thing i hated seen was that long pass from their full backs down the middle to Kane and no one could intercept. Sha happy Xhaka gets his first MOTM in 7yrs.

Overhead balls are successful for Spurs. I hate the way they are causing issues for their box 18 by unnecessary hold to the ball when they should be clearing it to the stands. Haba!!! undecided undecided undecided

That is a gifted pk to spurs. Rubbish.


Saka is causing 4 spurs players to be indisciplined in positioning. They leave just as he received the ball. The free red shirt shoot capitalize and shoot. Let Jesus see rebounds. Arghhhh


Gabriel needs some serious talk from people like Henry or Wright. Sincerely. Spurs has been brilliant when passing the ball inside the centre circle when counterattacking. Too easy. They should be fouling Kane there. Too free.


Those two fullbacks of Spurs are having space to run in and they've caused issues.



Pls, i know Zinch is a great player, but can he stop getting on my nerves by strolling back like asif there's no cause to defendhuh It happened vs Man u too. He should be faster. undecided undecided

I've always been saying it since season start, we have one of the best Squad depth. Hopefully, Reiss Nelson steps up to be an able Martinelli deputy. The only person I'm afraid of is just Partey and Ramsdale.

I believe we'll get Partey's deputy by January while we'll just hope for Turner to improve with the Europa games
Those two no go sweet outside XI. Chai.

I'm suspecting we can grab one DM from this WC. If South America, all the sweeter.

I was actually worried about ESR surgery but then I remember Nelson is back in full training. I'm not giving up hope on that guy, he just needs to be giving a chance.

As for the Balond'or list, not surprising but the list looks rubbish to me. Imagine the like of Son, Cancelo, Vlahovic, Nkunku and Foden on the list.... Football is declining or maybe Messi has set the bar too high.
They've done their part to be on that list to me. Rightly so. UCL football plays the best part. We go reach there soon and don't be surprised if one of our defenders make the list of players from Emirates on that list just cos it's UCL.


That Dubai camp is sweet.


Arteta so love White that he had to be convinced of Saliba at dying minute and has seen who is better, but can't imagine White on the Bench grin

Just look at us?
We are finally at this point of selection headache? It wasn't so season's ago. Once a players injures, hopeless. Now ESR is injured(not happy. Wishing his speedy recovery), but we are not handicapped in that position unlike seasons ago.


There was a season where We would all be on hbp if kolasinac and bellerin got injured. There was a season where if Ramsey injured, Goals will just reduce till he returns to increase it all of a sudden.


Ozil?
Laca?


Now we have just one major injury scare compared to 5key injures years back-PARTEY!


We've come a long long way. Evident in this selection headache for the fullbacks. We're getting there.



Soon, a Gunner will be back on this list like it used to be.

Henry has the best bant for Spurs ever grin

I heard Kulu is injured, so he might not play.

In terms of Saka goal last season, if you notice very well he wasn't indecisive. He wanted to pass the ball into space for Auba to attack it but it was blocked and the ball fell back to him which he now quickly used his right leg to play the ball goalwards. I will acknowledge him for his quick thinking in scoring that goal

My major Joy Is Partey that's available. At least, we won't be susceptible to counter laidat
That was actually a blocked shot. He saw the path to him already blocked so he had only a shot to take and he still delayed at that. Whatever he wants to do, he should just do it quicker. That's my issue. I believe we'll enjoy the game sha

Lol, if White can hold Zaha, I believe it's a done deal for Arteta to start White to hold Son
Guy, no ifs here, make we tok true. Yasu should start imo. It will even amplify Saka threat better. We need Saka firing till he gets subbed off or match ends. Conte is not coming to joke, make we tok true. If he sees any weakness, he will exploit it faster than Arteta can.

Mark out Kane and Son and the best way to do that is to deny them spaces. With Partey and Xhaka in Midfield, we should be fine there. Then Jesus and Martinelli should be able to do the job up top.

The headache is
White or Tomiyasu
Vieira or Odegaard
Arteta will better get sense snd put Yasu in his natural position. I don't see White getting the better out of Son. We leave Kane to Saliba.

Jodera:
Tierney or Zinchenko for NLD?

With both fit to play against Spurs, who do you guys prefer to start.

My Opinion: I'll prefer Tierney to start over Zinchenko. Tierney is a good defender and a better defender than Zinchenko. He's not also bad going forward have we've seen couple of times against big teams. Moreover, Spurs are always deadly on the counter and most of their games this season doesn't involve Midfield play, so Zinchenko wouldn't be so needed to give us that Midfield advantage.
Son, Kane and kuluveski/Richarlison are known for pace, counter and getting in behind. Who better to stop any of those 3 than for Tierney on the left flank?

So what's your take guys, who would you prefer?
Bluer aydick, Iamoyin damola, Rol and17, Spy 360, Most ob, ObaI gwe1, Dav eP, Akin bahm, Jenc ejyde.
Depends on who will attack for Spurs from that angle. If na Kul, Zinch. If na Richi, Tierney.

We wont be having a situo where holding will ruin with red due to nonavailability of defenders. So Arteta can even still to same plan he used that last time.


I have a problem i fear though.

The goal Saka score from that slip then counter, remember he was indecisive but ball still ended up at his feet and he slot it in after their defenders couldn't clear. That's my p.


We won't need him repeating that nonsense. They'll be expecting that from him. He needs to be faster to take his shot, especially as Jesus is going to be lurking, not Laca.


We've been good in dominating with passes from the middle this season. Partey return is a major booster. Viera as sub another one. White should better no cause a pk. Either way, zinch would help with our press more.
