obviously Alexis acted ridiculous, but I don't understand how Fuchs intentionally throwing the ball at him was completely glossed over.
Thought Xhaka was great today and been solid for a while, we need a good b2b so badly though. Just kills us how slow we are in our transitions, Spurs are gonna press us to death. Need to clone Santi. Would like to see something like this. -------Alexis----Welbeck-- -Nacho--Ozil---Ox----Hector- - ----------- Xhaka -Holding--Kos-----Gabriel
feel bad for Holding. he didn't do anything to lose his spot. also agree on Giroud. this is the kind of match he's useless in.
Announcers Tottenham playing a high line there, Arsenal can just send one over the top and Giroud's in. LOL yeah okay.
Xhaka is by far the best passer we have in central midfield. you have to just hope he keeps his head.
Can't really blame him for being put in a situation that he isn't built to succeed. He's been much better about that
Asshole will be puckered for the 1st 7-8 minutes of the 2nd half. If we weather that & get Welbz to replace Giroud early, I have hope
Not good for the run of play, but our only scoring chances have come off of set pieces. Also like Welbz coming on against a tired defense, it exaggerates his speed advantage.
