Tottenham get battered everywhere they go, even at home
The silence at the potato farm is glorious. So are the long faces

We need to get a hold on this game quickly.
That Brighton kit is actually class
I came back inside from yard work and wtf is this? 😑🤨
urgh, what is that Brighton kit? Did they just get it mixed up with Coventry or something?
Seen a clip of Rice just absolutely walloping someone in a Brighton shirt right before the game ended. Why didn't he get a red??? absolutely brain dead and I'd rather him have a red to learn a lesson.
i hate my life man fucking fuck everything
Oh wow, this is bad.
There hasn't been a single shot on target.
At least we have international break right after this so we can regroup and go again.
True, but it's still 3 weeks of sitting on this when our strongest line-up gets run over like this.
Eh, we're still missing Saliba, which I know is little comfort but still. I also do think that we will get better and that this was a once-off. Our defence has been getting chopped up a decent bit lately. But yeah. Not good enough.
Fuck's sake. Had a ly-in this morning after finally being able to get more than 5 hours sleep. And this is what I wake up to? What the fuck is going on?!
I know Brighton is a dangerous side, and I had a feeling this could be a banana skin for us. But 3-0 down after 60 mins with arguably our strongest lineup?!
I had to look at the line-up. It's definitely our strongest.
And going into a 3 week break after a result like this, it's going to be a painful
It's not though and the lineup was the problem. Arteta absolutely shit the bed today by playing favourites.
After ten minutes, you could see they were pressing us. Who is our most press resistant player? MLS, should've been brought on at half time at the latest. This game was about people who could keep possession and Arteta only brought on Eze and Dowman way too late to change the result. Hilariously, Gyökeres in his cameo was better than Havertz's whole game. Merino is also still a waste of time in midfield for me.
I was thinking Gyokeres should come on around half-time. Shocked he didn't get subbed on till late.
I was just saying this the other day. Arteta was saying he likes everything to be random so opponents can't guess and then we play the exact same style for games, even when Havertz doesn't look good. I like Havertz, he's a big game player, but he's not a week-in/week-out striker and him being unavailable for large parts of last season, helped us because his space in the lineup was given to others. It's a case of:
And that was another thing, Arteta knows full well that all of Eze's best moments for us have been through the middle so why was he saying pre-match that he performs best from the left? Let players play in their best positions.
Good points made.
Felt in term of names it was the strongest. But as you highlighted, in terms of capabilities to handle certain situations it was not.
This is giving back memories of Raya's early days with us. Brighton are pressing so high and we are playing so risky. Once we get ahold of the game we'll have quite a lovely amount of space hopefully though.
declan rice is too good to stop that Raya mistake from being a real threat. That being said, we're not on it today so far.
That wasn't good. At least we can laugh at the Tiny Tots
I haven't turned off an Arsenal game in a long time but honestly we just looked so bad this first half. See you all in the women's game I suppose.
On the bright side, our title rivals Hull also lost today...
