That's harsh for Arsenal. They haven't been great by any means, loads of possession and nothing done with it, but to go down 0-2 right at HT, with a player trying to come off hurt as well, yeah that's shit luck.

This Spurs side is just set up so well for a Jose style, especially in these bigger matches. Shit the back line deep, drop 2 defensive midfielders deep to shield them, let your 2 world class players score goals on the counter.

Wouldn’t say it’s harsh, we’ve been far too naive and pushing too many players forward, both goals as a result of not having enough players covering. You can’t push that many players on when the other side have Kane and Son that are known to be absolutely lethal on the counter.

That was messy. Obviously Partey limping off doesn't help but it's still 4 on 3 even if he doesn't. It wasn't as if they lost possession on the halfway line either, no excuse for that tracking back.

Partey with one hamstring was still recovering faster than Willian.

This squad still needs major surgery. We have some pieces of the puzzle but not nearly enough. 

I’d say we need a more established centre-back not named Luiz to play alongside Gabriel. We need a real ball-winner in the Kante mould to sit in front of the defence (I mean, we have Torreira who’s ideal in my opinion), then we need a creative player in the Grealish mould to play alongside Partey. 

Then we have Aubameyang as a striker and probably need another wide forward as well.

We could have played for another hour and never scored. Its always a nightmare going away to a mourinho team but we need to be able to come up with something other than just spamming crosses and hoping for the best.

When is Kane going to start getting punished for this? He does it almost every game and it’s putting other players at risk every time he does it. He’s always looking at the player and backs into them as they jump, it’s reckless and dangerous.

That has to be a yellow card for Coady.

Referees are encouraging this kind of stuff so much, especially in the VAR era. Players will dive and/or go down in the box under minimal contact to win a soft/bullshit penalty, and the referees/VAR not only are likely to give the penalty, but they don't punish the attacker if he does dive/simulate. It's absolutely ridiculous how much they enable it.
