#arstot — Public Fediverse posts

Powerful performance by Arsenal. Difficult to judge fully against a supine Spurs, next Sunday at the Bridge more of a test. But Arsenal showed they are far more than a set-piece team, they have a wonderful goalscoring 10 in Eze (great competition for Odegaard) and Gyokeres to return. They have skill and pace wide, the right blend of defensive nous and creativity in midfield and strength in depth (Hincapie steps in for Gabriel, Mosquera comes on for Hincapie). They’re six points clear, and their rivals have issues. Long way to go in the @[email protected] title race but #AFC have the momentum #ARSTOT

Mind the gap. Chasm between Arsenal and Tottenham. Richarlison wondergoal apart, Spurs so meek. It’s the North London Derby. Where’s the intensity, the ambition, the fight, the attack? Frank’s game-plan too negative. Eze hat-trick, easy for #AFC #ARSTOT

Czasy się zmieniają, ale Tottenham zawsze taki sam. #arstot

Arsenal going through the gears, going through Spurs, going further clear at the top. First Trossard, then Eze. So many different players contributing to the goals for Arsenal, 11 in the PL so far. Such variety of goals, so much more than a set-piece side. 2-0 h-t #AFC #ARSTOT

Trossard is so good Font know how he got himself turned to make a shot but so glad he did #Arsenal #ARSTOT

Before anything happens I’m already reiterating my question WHY THE FUCK IS MICHAEL OLIVER ALLOWED TO REF AT ALL? #Arsenal #NorthLondonDerby #ARSTOT

It’s hard to make a proper judgement call on Ange Postecoglou until the triangle of Vicario-Romero-Van de Ven is restored. Imagine Arsenal without Raya-Saliba-Gabriel. Postecoglou has flaws, set-pieces, risky high line at times and not realising that stubbornness is different from single-mindedness. His players’ lack of fight in the North London Derby (Bergvall, Spence and Gray honourable exceptions) reflects poorly on his team-talks as well as their character. It’s the Derby - commitment is the starting point. The captain, Son, scored but he’s not the force he was. It’s a mentality thing as much as ability with Spurs. And injuries. The squad depth isn’t there.

Postecoglou is hardly the only manager trying to cope with an injury crisis. Andoni Iraola has 8 players out at Bournemouth, still doing well (8th in PL), still getting a balanced, organised, very competitive XI out, but then he's a better manager (tactically, in-game management etc) than Postecoglou (and will go to a CL club one day). There still has to be sympathy for Postecoglou as most of his absentees in one area. Imagine a team of: Vicario; Porro/Spence, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bergvall, Bentancur/Maddison (depending on opponent then Maddison as a 10), Gray; Kulusevski, Solanke, Moore. That’s decent. European qualification strength. Good age balance.

Spurs have some good players (also Johnson, Bissouma, Sarr, Richarlison when fit, Kinsky when he learns about intensity of English football). But the squad needs strengthening. 13th is poor. The lack of intensity in the Derby was poor. It’s now about getting that defence fit, and Postecoglou getting more out of them. #NLD #THFC #ARSTOT

Declan Rice thinks Arsenal should have scored more against Tottenham — 𝙖 𝙡𝙤𝙩 more...

#ARSTOT | #AFC

Spurs' only real leaders tonight were both 18: Lucas Bergvall who never stopped running, never gave up the fight, and also Archie Gray, again immense out of position. Djed Spence (24) was good. Otherwise, #THFC players failed to rise to the #NLD challenge. #ARSTOT

Arsenal win three consecutive league games against Tottenham for the first time since January 1989 — and go second in the Premier League.

#ARSTOT | #AFC

Myles Lewis-Skelly outstanding again at left-back, inverting into midfield when needed, reading the game superbly and intercepting well. Very composed. Totally unfazed by hype and tension around the #NLD. Only 18. #AFC #ARSTOT

How to train your Dragusin? More training needed. Slow to cover across against Trossard. Weak hand from Kinsky, too. #AFC one-nil down, 2-1 up. Gabriel/Rice/Odegaard good. #THFC frustration as Gabriel goal came from a corner which wasn’t. Gray impressive again #ARSTOT

A fine finish from Leandro Trossard.

Arsenal go into the break ahead in the north London derby.

Gabriel equalised for Arsenal against Tottenham — but the visitors will be unhappy a corner was given...

Advantage Tottenham in the north London derby.

#THFC captain Son Heung-min gives the visitors the lead.

In the last eight Premier League games, only Leicester City (four) and Southampton (one) have earned fewer points in the Premier League than Tottenham (five).

Tottenham's bad record away at Arsenal...

⚪️ Tottenham have won just one of their last 31 Premier League away games against Arsenal (D12 L18) and are winless in 13 since a 3-2 victory in November 2010

⚪️ #THFC have conceded at least once in each of their last 25 Premier League away games against Arsenal

By all accounts from those who have met him, Ian Wright is a thoroughly decent human. Just like he is on telly in real life. Always has time for a chat with fans, even Spurs fans. 😄

Agreed with the MOTD analysis. We were thoroughly done over by the officiating. I loved Ange's mature outlook: "hopefully it all balances itself out".

We should have been celebrating a win. Arsenal got very, very lucky.
