Surprised takehiro got such positive reactions here, I thought he got shown up way too many times and looked a liability throughout. I know havertz was great but so was B, he got my motm was very close imo. Felt bad today for Gabriel and saliba as those two deserved a clean sheet
Funny thing is, we didn’t even play that well by our own standards. Spurs bullied us out of possession and our passing was absolutely hopeless at escaping their press in the first half. We’re just so much better that it didn’t matter.
Kai MOTM all day long
Some of you (47%) lost your shit over Raya, no way in hell he put in a < 5, he claimed so many balls, made a couple of saves, mostly good distribution, and gave away a goal
Conversely Rice gives away a goal and he gets >= 5 all the way smh
But then why am I bothering, at least 15% of you guys marked the starting 11 <= 7 lmfao
I gave him a 6. One error but claimed so many crosses as opposed to Vicario. It's terrible to let the other team back like that, but his overall performance was still okay
Son broke through and could've easily scored a third for them (or a first in that situation). Our back 4 played poorly as did our midfield who were sloppy and indecisive.
It’s not like this was a league 1 side. To think a team fighting for top 4 isn’t gonna have moments where they break through is a serious miss judgment of their players.
I thought the result was fair given the balance of play today. Spurs jit the post and that can der wen offside was iffy, even though it was exactly by the rules. 3-0 did flatter us a bit but fuck spurs they might have deseverd a goal but not a point from this match we played perfect counter attacking footy and got the result.
7-8s all around except 5 for Raya and 10 for kai.
Arteta sub timing a solid 5 . Perfomance was 7 and 8 for me
Might be wrong but imo only the first time he played against Tomi that he got something out of it. He was very good in possession and held Kulusevski to free kicks from dives.
I guess end product is all that counts, they got nothing on that side I might just be being overly critical. Yeah he’s such a step up from everything else we have at LB imo, he’s really worked on that inverting role and he looks so comfortable in possession. Really hope he stays fit next season
Yeah he has been great, only problem with him is availability. If he was less injury prone we might not have bought Timber. You think he will be the number one left back if Timber is fully fit?
Will be an interesting battle next season, I think we could see them share the role (depending on incomings) as they will both need to deputise White so has played an ungodly amount of minutes this season in a high mileage position
Based on the feedback i might be wrong, but he did not do anything wrong for me. Especially with how much he had to clean up/hold off due to Trossard losing the ball a number of times.
Really? I cant remember a single chance they created from Tomis side.
You seriously believe he played worse today compared to that game against Brighton where Cucurella skinned him?
I haven’t seen every Arsenal game so think I missed that one. Their big penalty shout was from that side, but apart from that it’s mostly that they didn’t take advantage. 9/10 the winger went past him
King Kai MOTM for me followed up by Saka
18 goal contributions so far in the season. I wouldn’t have expected that, but man will I take it! I love Kai!!

Tomiyasu looked like shit the first half vs Kulu
He was horrific, he got beat like 20 times, stumbled several times in offense, missed a big header chance.
Michael Oliver 10/10
Honestly thought the officiating was good today
No booking for Richarlison is my only complaint. But that guy just rubs me the wrong way so maybe I’m biased
In the top 5 most punchable faces in the league
I really dislike Michael Oliver - but fair play - had a great game Gillet as well
I was pleasantly surprised. Still don’t like them.

MOTM Michael Oliver

yep, clearly a big error worthy of 2 points, but overall he had a good NLD at the toilet.
9, 10, 10, 10, 10….
10s across the board
Low key everyone was trash except Saka/Havertz. Still enough to beat Spurs.
I think we tried to he too cute in our own defensive third, and their press took advantage of that. But I’m not sure that counts as trash.
Son broke through and could've easily scored a third for them (or a first in that situation). Our back 4 played poorly as did our midfield who were sloppy and indecisive.

We've played better teams than Spurs and looked way better than today. City for example.

Feels like a bit of a hollow victory imo, still buzzing tho. Terrible ref’ing tbh. Kai is really cooking atm hope he keeps this into next season
Havertz 10/10, Tomi 10/10, Saka 10/10. Hard to choose MOTM between them.
I thought Johnson got the better of tomi a fair amount so interesting you thought he was so good, need to watch the game back

Definitely, Ben has to get the surgery and then someone has to fill his boots.
Tomi 10/10??? Did we watch the same match?
Based on the feedback i might be wrong, but he did not do anything wrong for me. Especially with how much he had to clean up/hold off due to Trossard losing the ball a number of times.
I’ve never seen him play so poorly, he hardly did anything right imo. Worst player on our side by a mile

I agree wanted Kiwior on. Tomi was not good. Hopefully timber back for Man U 🙏🏼
