** The Tottenham vs Arsenal NLD Official Match Thread **

To me it wasnt the noise that impressed me last night about the fans it was pure positive support of the team, no groaning when errors were made, simply forgotten and roared them on. If only we could do this every game instead of the negative stuff that creeps in and helps our opponents and stifles our team. I'm not happy clappy just know people normally react better when they get support.

Bitter is their constant state. Bitter and deluded.

Apparently, Son and us are cheats etc :rolleyes: Not even worth coming back. Just smile. Thing is their negativity is eating away at them. They are still in front and have everything in their hands. Guess they are bricking it a little now. Such a shame we didn't get a point at Brighton or somewhere else. Just have to win our games and hold our heads high. Don't be drawn into their scummy clubs dramas!

I'd agree with that except for one instance. Sanchez got in a bit of a mess early on and the chance to pass forward went and he turned and passed to Lloris and there was a huge amount of moaning. And I thought "Jesus, poor lad, he's in his 20s, hasn't played for months and he has 60,000 on his case. That can't do him any good."

Which sort of underlines your point. Abusing players or moaning at them is so counter productive. Youd need some mental strength for that not to have an impact on you.

Not every game will be like last night. The opposition, a night game, high stakes. But it'd be great if we could have something someway similar for Burnley and beyond. Its got to help motivate the players.

Bizarrely i thought that moment was the making of davo and the turning point of the game, the crowd seemed to realise that we had weathered their initial burst and we were taking control and really got behind the team.

Yes I think that’s a fair point. I was worried that the crowd would be negative after that but they weren’t. That said, the next time the ball came to him he hesitated and I’m sure that’s because he was thinking about crowd reaction. Goes to show that we really can influence the players both
Positively and negatively.

Yes, I noticed that. Thought the crowd needed to be patient.

iirc straight after that we turned possession into a quick attack too.

Same with Royal and Sess
They start nervous because they can feel the tension IMO
The difference when we go one up with those players is massive
