Tottenham 1-4 Arsenal: Fan views
We asked for your opinion after Sunday Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.
Here are some of your comments:
Spurs fans
Alain: Put in the manager of your choice, the problem is mediocre players being bought who aren’t Premier League quality. We seem to buy anyone to fill the gap, but it will never work. We need class players like we’ve had in the past, but we won’t attract them to the championship.
Dan: What I really expected was pretty much the same from the last two seasons. Moments of hope and positive flashes, but mostly negative football and stupid decisions. I doubt even Pep Guardiola or Jurgen Klopp can get this current group of players to perform. If you had a team of office workers who showed up every week and spent their day hanging around the office, occasionally tapping some computer keys but producing nothing, they would be fired for not doing what they are employed to do. The Spurs literally do the equivalent on the field.
Tristen: Playing with three at the back is suicidal. Playing too many players out of their natural position is also comical. This game was a success because the fans didn’t expect a win, but a proper system and structure is the minimum we should have gotten for this game. On this system and style we are favorites for relegation.
Frank: Shocking demonstration from Spurs… Archie Gray too weak, Djed Spence continues to lose the ball. No real fight. I don’t see how to get out of it.
Arsenal fans
Giso: Arsenal’s mentality will win them the title as they played Spurs like nothing happened in the previous match.
Vince: A nice result but let’s not get carried away. This was a Spurs team missing key players due to injuries and, unsurprisingly, clumsy possession. Arsenal, meanwhile, were allowed to play their usual game – something they weren’t allowed to do at Brentford and Wolves and see what happened there. Still, it’s a brilliant confidence booster for Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres and renews that all-important belief that this could be the season where Arsenal cross the finish line first.
Helene: When is the first day of St. Totteringham this year?
Tim: Another one-sided derby in North London. The 4-1 scoreline really flattered Spurs. A very dominant and important performance to bounce back with three big points. It’s hard to name individuals in such a strong team performance, but Declan Rice, Eze and Gyokeres were immense, not to mention the defense and David Raya. Ahead…
