Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal OMT

[El Guepardo]

Well, DHSF did say that the score would be 7-2 to us, so we only need to score the 5 in the second half for him to be right.

 

[mick cooper]

Disagree. 442 is the reason we can't keep the ball, just keeps coming back at us

if we had 4 people playing in midfield I'd agree

BUT WE HAVENT

 

[DanishWhite]

Defoe on ? LOL he does even less work defensively than Saha and has brick movement outside the box.

VdV and Lennon on is the very obvious choice, Sandro possibly too.

 

[Dayo]

Playing the long ball and keep giving it away is going to be our downfall.

 

[Belsizespur]

Honestly believe the cards for Parker and Modric contributed to Arsenal's comeback. Both know that any sort of tackle could get them sent off and that'd be disastrous. Need someone in the middle with them now, Sandro the obvious choice. But can we bring on Lennon, VDV AND Sandro? Hmmm, not sure. I think it'll be one of VDV or Lennon.

We were defending too deeply before that. Allowing them to stroll mid-way into our half.

 

[Baleforce]

front 2 are isolated, if he's fit vdv for Saha could be a smart change, another body in the middle and better at keeping possession as well

 

[Mumorn]

I'd take a draw if handed to me

 

[mick cooper]

kranjcar off----- lennon on

saha off ------ vdv on

disagree

Sandro and VDV

or Sandro and Defoe if we stay 442

 

[Mosquito_Coasting]

If Parker's (chasing shadows completely) on a booking get Sandro on for him and Lennon for Saha and go 4-5-1.

 

[Yiddo]

Is Chamberlain on the bench for them? if so we are fudged.

 

[Hootnow]

I would't say 4-4-2 got us 2-0 up, the goals have been Arsenal mistakes and the exceptional talent of individual players. The goals haven't come from some kind of sustained play from the formation.

 

[Wriggly]

Is Chamberlain on the bench for them? if so we are fudged.

Sorry, who ?

 

[VolSpur]

lots of options for Harry to choose from on the bench. Bring on VdV? Lennon? Sandro? Who comes off?

this is where he'll earn his wage.

 

[Bullet]

I'm happy with the line up other than Kranky playing - he is too slow for away games

He's OK when you have possession at home and are trying to find a gap

But not when you're chasing around the Emirates trying to get the ball back

I really don't see what Krank adds to away performances - he's just not athletic enough for the Premiership.

He should go to a league where athleticism isn't so important.

 

[SpurMeUp]

Frustrating after 0-2 up. Why did we ease off? Dropped too deep and didn't contest possession in midfield. Needed more steel to stop them in the middle. THo the rapists goal was sensational. Hi almost scored another 2 mins before, equally skilful. NO doubt the form/ best PL striker this season, he is unstoppable - cheeky bid.

Now have to re-group and take the game to them. At 0-2 we just sat back. Have to move forward and put them under pressure.

 

[mudshark]

If H makes no change at half-time, I predict the next thing that will happen is it'll be 3-2 to them.

 

[Ralphy Coates]

Parker, Saha or Nico depending on who comes on. I want Sandro and Lennon personally

 

[El Guepardo]

I'd take a draw if handed to me

I wouldn't. We are a better team than them and providing that we make the right changes; bringing on Sandro for Saha, and start taking the game to them rather than the other way around. I would be tempted to bring on VDV for Kranjcar.

 

[Hootnow]

Kranjcar needs to come off.

 

[Modric THFC]

We can still win with 442 if we played like we did at the start of the game.
Once we were ahead though we ceded possession to Arsenal and sat back, tried to defend and bit them on the break.
Instead we should be playing a possession game and attacking them regardless of the scoreline.
