I love the way BTs analysis of the goal doesnt even mention Vertonghen sliding in on the half way line and leaving a huge gap in the defence.
How can anyone watch this game and not finally agree with me that mason is fudgeing abysmal. He's letting us down. He gives the ball away so much. I'm growing to actually hate him.
Stambouli for mason and we can do this.
We played well that half and don't deserve to be behind. Dominated Arsenl in virtually every area and they score following a mis hit from their only chance.
The one where Mason is on the ball a lot but giving it away a lot, without having much end product (good shot aside) and without doing much defensively.
Walker did not lose his man. He came across to cover Dier who had come across to cover Vertonghen so it left Ozil in in un-marked. Blame Verts for diving in too early near the half way line.We played well that half and don't deserve to be behind. Dominated Arsenl in virtually every area and they score following a mis hit from their only chance. Rose getting into good positions but his final pass is poor. Mason has been energetic but his passing is again off. Lamela challenging strongly but his brain seems to be a second too slow and has ruined some promising break opportunities.
The goal was a replica of Sheffield Utd first. Walker lost his man at the far post again - and no Townsend to blame this time. The goal was also marginally offside. We haven't had the rub of the linesmans flags in this game.
We have had 6 corners to nil and all of them have been really lame.
Overall, promising. More of the same please - just with an end oroduct.
Quite the Holtby today.come on ryan, another mispalced pass there in a promising situation.
mason will find it difficult to kick on if a player of his ilk cant pass the ball effectively.
