Arteta's tactics aren't exactly free-flowing.

Not comparable to this though really

Arsenal will win the league but my god are they a boring side to watch. Arteta is anti football 

[Fear Of The Fox]

Thank God NFL Redzone is starting in one hour. This Arsenal vs Spurs game Is shockingly bad. 

[StanSP]

Boring game so far despite that goal for Arsenal. 

[foxfanazer]

Jammy goal as well. I bloody hate them

[StanSP]

Spurs defending horribly. How has Eze has time to shoot there 

[spacemunky]

Eze as pie.

[Corky]

Tottenham's record at Arsenal and Chelsea in the last 30 years is genuinely pathetic for a big club.

[RowlattsFox]

So poor from Spurs. How's he got his shot away. 

[RowlattsFox]

Liverpool will be asking why that's not offside though? Standing in front of the keeper.

The fact he’s taken his long throw tactic to a team going for top 4/top 6 is horrific.

Why do you think that?

Just long throws man I never have liked them. I knew they’ve crept back into the game but for a top 6 team to do it is awful to me.

Doesn't help that Frank set them up like a National South League team.

So you don't like corners inside the box also, only short ones? Modern football defenders are thick with low IQ and positional awareness, they're in panic mode everytime. Bringing the ball into the box in every opportunity is a good tactic.

True but this goes way beyond today. They have records you'd expect the likes of Southampton, Middlesbrough or Bolton to have.

His whole philosophy is so bad. I get the long throws as a supplement but his gameplan seems to revolve around them and launching freekicks with the cbs up.

[Fox92]

3-0 now

 

[StanSP]

All that half time team talk just for that

Imo Spurs are overachieving for years now. Especially this season this squad is a bottom table one and possibly a relegation battle candidate.

It’s a means to an end. This is my whole beef with possession football. Why do with 5743 passes what you can do with 1, or a long throw? 
 

Fair enough, don’t make it your game plan, but also don’t turn your nose up at something that causes chaos and confusion in a box 

[Corky]

Well, as Drury just said, Tottenham fans can console themselves because they won an unrelated match a year ago.

[Vacamion]

 

I always like to see a good battering, so want Arsenal to get a few more, here.
