Fantastic passage of play. Arsenal are so inventive with their set-pieces.

I doubt it would much matter the way we are playing.

The Palace side that ran us ragged can’t get out of their own half against Arsenal.
They saving their energy for us this week :0)

Yet on the flip side the same Arsenal side lost to us.

Villa to a man (bar Sancho who looks a waste of oxygen), have been incredible. Dominated a City side who were picking up a bit of momentum.
Look how quickly things can fall apart and how fans lose their patience.
Pereira arguably one of the managers of the 2nd half of last season, suddenly can’t buy a win.

We’re the most spineless club on the planet and have been for a long time.

So Villa beat City. That’s something to look forward to next Saturday.
Palace had a collection of set pieces in dangerous areas in the last 5 mins or so and Arsenal defended them all without even a moment of panic. It is a stark contrast to the way we so meekly defended that late throw against them. It is really night and day. And its not just about having a CB as aggressive as Gabriel trying to win the first ball but everyone else committed to doing their defensive job until after the ball is cleared

Yup , if their attack doesn’t win them the League then their defence certainly will. 3 conceded compared to our 14.

Ndiaye skinning Spence there.
Grealish should score, though a good block by Porro.
Great defending by Keane there and probably prevented a goal, Simons would’ve had a free shot on goal from 10 yards.
Everton concede from the corner, absolutely nobody picking up Bentancur at the far post. We’re probably going to reach a point in time where 90% of goals come from set pieces, football is fucking shit, it’s like watching AI.
The most frustrating thing about it is Gyokeres is exactly as limited as those of us who criticized the move suggested. They made a big swing, have seen it so far not work, and it doesnt appear to matter that much

Oh look, another goal from a corner. Lol.
Belting header that from the lanky ginge. No foul there Vicario, stop being a pussy.
After review, we’re all a bunch of fucking cunts and we haven’t a clue.
Oh look, all 3 goals this game from corners. Lol.
3-0 Spurs. I can’t even laugh at Everton at the moment.

Maybe not a popular opinion, but I kind of like Thomas Frank’s Spurs. I really like him as a manager and person (outwards, I don’t know him) as well tbh. He doesn’t have the quality in all positions comparable to us, but I respect what he is doing at Spurs and they are not awful to watch imo.
Disclosure, i haven’t been able to watch this game.
