Spurs managed to go 2-0 up at the Emirates and walk away with a draw on the reverse of this fixture played on September 1st of last year.
Given our recent lack of firepower, let’s take a look at shots on goal, xG’s and crosses, shall we?
Spurs had fewer shots (13) but were more accurate that Arsenal, with 9 being on target.
Arsenal peppered Hugo Lloris’ goal with 23 attempts, but only 8 were accurate.
When it came to xG, Spurs’ were more likely to get a third.
Whereas our hosts were fortunate to get their second.
Well if it isn’t our old friend the duff cross, Spurs made 7 crosses of which 1 was accurate.
Arsenal crossed the ball in 23 times and 11 were successful.
Today’s squad for Arsenal Hugo Lloris, Paulo Gazzaniga, Michel Vorm, Alfie Whiteman; Serge Aurier, Davinson Sanchez, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, Ben Davies; Oliver Skipp, Tanguy Ndombele, Giovani Lo Celso, Harry Winks, Moussa Sissoko, Gedson Fernandes; Ryan Sessegnon, Steven Bergwijn, Lucas Moura, Erik Lamela, Heung-Min Son; Harry Kane, Troy Parrott.
15? There optimism for you! 😂
You will be amazed at how fast those 30 years fly by ES
If Jose is worth his 15m a year, he’ll at the very least salvage a slither of pride in this match. I don’t care if it’s boring (that’s a given with Jose) just don’t lose to these c**nts at home.
We took over North London under Poch, Levy wants us yearning to overcome them at some point in the next 30 years. Then the long term ‘infrastructure’ building at the club can be marketed.
Think about it, while we are achieving our basic objectives like finishing above Woolwich, then the fans want the big stuff, Champions League, challenging for the title. This is the sort of stuff Levy won’t stretch to.
It’s calked ‘expectation management’. Wake up mugs…

If they score first we’ll find out if there is any pride left in the team.
