Looks like last years midfield and we all know how well they did........................

Kolasinac in a back 4... Emery’s comments in preseason about improving him at LB extremely pertinent today.

Spurs bring their A team. Let's show them our A+ performance.

Jeez. Leno. Wtf.

Goodness, too easy

Our defence is all over the place.

Good save by Leno after our defence parted like the proverbial to let in Son.

Oh dear. Got away with that one. Same mistake by Leno.

Let’s hope that Tottenham end up regretting that.

Yay Xhaka! He’s got a penalty!

He’s brilliant, isn’t he?

Xhaka. Serial offender. Same mistakes over and over.

Absolute shambles from Xhaka.

Xhaka, what an idiot!

I always find myself wondering why this diving in isn’t coached out of him. Why does he keep on going to ground?

Or why he can’t work it out for himself? Plain stupid.

Braindead b******. Hook him and put Ceballos on to do some magic.....................

Xhaka out
Emery out
Kroenke out

Every time Spurs break they look like scoring.

Why does xhaka keep getting selected he is a *%^@*** liability.
Absolute clown.
How he has left ceballos on the bench I'll never know

Phew. Thanks goodness for our forwards.

Nice one Lacazette.

Lacazette!!!

That was needed urgently.

Lacazette!!!!!!!!

The imbalance in quality in areas of our squad is quite remarkable.

Astonishing that we haven’t had a proper defence for so long. Our forwards must wonder what the heck is going on behind them.

Ask Emery

The art of conceding comedy goals.....by Arsenal FC.

The art of making stupid tackles......by Granit Xhaka.

So very annoying watching it happen over and over again.

A real curate’s egg of a team.

And Xhaka should be nowhere near part of our moving forward.

I mean we are 2-1 down in a game where we have dominated possession but look like conceding every time we lose the ball because our defence is about a useful as a chocolate teapot.

Might as well have stuck with Wenger.

Others may disagree but I thought Guendouzi and Aubameyang were our best players in that half.

Great goal by Lacazette, who was having a poor match. The front three look good on paper but they are not a cohesive unit at all yet. Only half the team are playing to a decent level.

Xhaka is captain of Arsenal FC

Why did Emery not put priority into getting a top central defender? It is so clear we are very weak there. Luiz is a knee jerk buy, and not a solid one at that.

How depressing is that?

Torreira and Kolasinac too. I think everyone was worried about Kola but he's been fine.

Yep. Just should not be so

Can't understand it either.

Son keeps standing in front of the ball when we get a free kick- not a word from the ref.

Why is that shove from Rose not a penalty?

No expectation of it being given, but it is a foul.

Close, and close again. Agonising.

Well done post. Great save from Kane.

Instant impact from Ceballos. Dangerous and creative.
