The Preview: Tottenham vs Arsenal

The fact the media is now turning on ange is mad to me. Everyone has a different opinion but look at klopp and arteta. Did take them more than a season to get it right. Patience would be grand

[@Klinsmann1985]

Yeah it's nuts, even Pep took a couple of seasons

[@Lioness_UTV]

I agree, as a Villa fan we accept that results will be wonky here and there as Emery (and Monchi) are in the midst of building a team to compete with the best. And that's not achieved in a season or two. What fans should expect is that their players, the team go out with the intention of playing to win. And I have no doubt Ange demands that level as does Emery.

[@tomeggleston367]

Media shat on Jose ONLY when he was Spurs manager, Conte ONLY when he was Spurs manager, Poch was hounded out with relentless questions about Kane leaving and how he had FAILED by taking Spurs to 2nd in the league and the CL Final. Spurs are judged differently by the media to all the clubs they were level with at the start of the PL era...we used to finish behind Stoke, Bolton, Middlesbrough, Fulham, Leeds, Newcastle, West Ham, Everton, Sunderland, Villa etc ON THE REGULAR. The fact that Levy has got us competing with the very best clubs in the best ground in the country is a staggering effort and should be worthy of praise, but the press, social media would rather the narrative be that we are failures, bottle jobs and a 'meme of a club'. Definite bias in the coverage - I just think it's become so common place to mock Spurs (led by the Keowns & Cundys of the pundit world) that even professional, dignified journalists can't offer an accurate, fair review of the club's trajectory over the last 20 odd years.

[@leomac3464]

Nick Miller on spurs: "They didn't need another winger". That's not even close to being correct.

[@yuni360]

But it turned out that his prediction was correct 😐

[@humzachudhary2056]

I don't agree with Nick Miller that Spurs didn't need another winger. Kulusevski is a talented player but he doesn't suit Ange's style of winger, he now plays as a midfielder for us. Johnson's very inconsistent. Werner is meh and will be gone next summer. And Son is great but getting older.

[@sundeep18]

For this season I think we needed an.additional good Right Winger. Don't think Odabert naturally prefers the right. So that means we just have Johnson there

[@kalu8652]

Tottenham are 1 season and change into a humongous rebuild under Ange, meanwhile Arteta is in his 6th season, yet we're all expecting Tottenham to dominate the ball while Arsenal plays defend and counter. Says it all really.

[@JJJ-bs8sm]

And that's why Arteta will NEVER win the PL. Ange will win it before him. Might take him a few years but he is on the right path.

​@@JJJ-bs8sm that's a silly billy take

[@OhSoSpurs]

The use of language around Arsenal in the media to make them sound like underdogs is exhausting. It started off as ‘injury ridden’ Arsenal, which was quickly squashed by neutral fans who pointed out they are missing 1 starter through injury. Now it’s ’missing their ENTIRE midfield’. You could say Spurs are missing half their midfield (Bissouma). Spurs went over 6 weeks last season with Maddison, Bentancur and Bissouma all out simultaneously but the blame was put on Ange Postecoglou tactics when Spurs struggled. Arsenal are not underdogs here. Nor are they in a crisis of any kind. It’s just an insecurity in the media from their fans who want to take the pressure off. They know it’s a must win and after all the recent Ange criticism from the same individuals this spin covers their backs.

[@LuckieDeol]

@OhSoSPurs Thank you .. for actually talking sense .. i cannot cope with all the shit that is spoken by media .. i prefer to switch off .. i love football but all the negative press is rubbish .. when the main question is are we happy with how the PL is run .. we have City who have won ..PL third game in .. Its ruining Football 😢

[@tomwaitsmencse]

They are missing 7 first team players, 6 potential starters and Jesus just came back and couldn’t start. Still beat you away for the third straight year.

[@OhSoSpurs]

@@tomwaitsmencse 2 starters. Spurs were missing 1. Not that much difference. Missing a lot on the bench though

[@tmbgunner]

Missing two crucial players in Øde and Rice, who I'm sure you can agree are the best players in our midfield. And we still beat you 1-0. Pahahahaha

[@SamS-cb5ep]

Love Johnny Mack!

[@rushnafwadud]

Comparing the drop off from Mickey van der Ven to Dragusin with “maybe” Martin frikking Ødegaard down to Ethan Nwaneri.. mental.

[@rushnafwadud]

And speaking of drop-offs, stating that Fabio Vieira seeming “oven-ready” to replace Martin Ødegaard by these well-informed panel is simply ludicrous. Martin Ødegaard is a world class player; probably a top 3/5 in the game at the moment. You can’t both have Mbappe and have a direct Mbappe backup. Such silly dissection.

[@theswallow119]

You are underestimating how important Van De Ven is to Tottenhams high line. Odegaard is probably more important to Arsenal but you have talent on the bench

[@rushnafwadud]

@@theswallow119 I personally believe that same exceedingly high line will be their undoing. But comparing the two dropoffs is unbelievably underplaying both the importance and magnitude of the players in their teams and world football. Not to mention their understudies. It’s just a bad example, which surprisingly this professional podcast seems very prone to do when they don’t have talking heads like Ornstein and the likes. Bringing in the awkward Tifo blokes doesn’t seem to be working in their favour either. They were a good bunch when they were together, doing their own thing.

[@theswallow119]

@@rushnafwadudhaving just watched this part I don’t think they are saying one is more important than the other to their team. Mackenzie was just pointing out how each team is impacted by potential/definite losses of said player

It's kind of funny listening to this after the Liverpool game given how condescending they were about Forest. I said we'd have difficulty against them, I commented on another video that I was worried that how we'd been playing wouldn't work against a team that sits in and makes it tough - surprise surprise, when they sat back and soaked up pressure we had no answer for that.

[@simonmarie83]

Are you kdding? We definitely needed a winger over a CB

[@catinsidethehead]

Your title was a bit confusing. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to watch 45 minutes about just one game, but it turns out you discussed multiple games, which is more appealing to me. Thanks for your work anyway

[@jimfrank135]

Nick said spurs didn't need a winger...that shows me he does not watch spurs enough then

[@rishivaja9288]

The way I see Spurs right now is that they have players now who suit the system but they are young. Once tthey mature and they add world class quality in key areas they will challenge, whether Levy signs them is the question,

[@PazLeBon]

nobody is talking about lack of goals or dominance not being enough, we have all seen top sides take 96 mins to break down sides, its blatantly conceding goals with sunday league defending that's the talking point

Is Nick really saying if Ange generates such underlying 　　　 numbers as SPURS　|　GUNNERS 　　 15 Shots 7 　 5 Shots on target 4 　 64% Possession 36% 　 494 Passes 281 　88% Pass accuracy 75% ...and gets no points it's really 　　　not working?.... One-nil against the best defense in the league, even with Rice and Ødegaard out, is not a bad result.
