Pochettino has it all in his Arsenal

Well, what can I say and where do I begin. Forget the win against Chelsea, that today was the VERY BEST Spurs performance of the season. Absolutely brilliant.

At the start of the season, the players were clearly struggling to take to Pochettino' style and were nowhere near fit enough to play his way. The signs have been there in recent weeks that this is changing and what we saw today was the fittest, hungriest team in years. And yes, I do believe that, I really do.

When Arsenal took the lead, we had been the better team but were caught out on the break, as as often happened as we implement the high pressing game. What was different today though was that Spurs never slowed and rather than fail to break down a parked bus, and today it was a double decker, Spurs stuck to their game and played fast, fluent, exciting football and were rewarded with a deserved three points.

Dembele was frustrating at times in the first half but in the second half he was like a man mountain and Mason made pretty much every challenge that was required of him. His passing let him down at times, but his passion and energy were superb.

Dier and Vertonghen are working well at the back and apart from a lapse for the goal, let us all for once give credit where it is due to Danny Rose. He marauded at times down that left wing and gave Arsenal a headache all game.

Eriksen drifted in and out at times but when he did get hold of the ball, he had Spurs moving forward at pace and the amount of corners we won and shots on goal just showed how much better we were than the opposition this lunchtime.

Lamela worked hard but I still remain unconvinced by him and he is guilty at times of trying too hard, when if he did the simple things, he might find himself on the score sheet more often.

Harry Kane has everything. Strength, pace and can score with both feet and his head. In fact he could probably score with his bum if he needed to. That winning header was exceptional. He pulled off his man and then looped it into the corner of the net to send the Lane into raptures.

And finally, let's not leave this without praising our amazing supporters today. Absolutely magnificent.
Pochettino has his mark on this team and with signings to come in the summer, I can only say, as ever
COME ON YOU SPURS!!

 

Ditto Matt .. Best performance for a long time .. Credit to them all ..The Poch era has truely begun .. ( hopefully ) .. C.O.Y.S .......

 

Poch is winning me over, industrious play relentless effort.
Great game, great result.
And Harry Kane what a great header!
4 points off the scum this season and well deserved !!!!!!

 

They often say 'the game is won in midfield' and today our dynamic, energetic and skillful trio outplayed our neighbours ! Our youngsters of Mason and Bentuleb, well aided by Dembele, overcame Wengers lauded midfield ! Kane was again brilliant, holding up the ball and scoring the two vital goals. Was surprised to see Dier start but he played well and within himself, very impressive for another one so young again. Great day. Coys.

 

Brilliant performance - one that makes you proud to support this beautiful club.

It was weird, from Arsenal's set-up, - I'd never seen anything like it! (Arsenal come to the Lane to park the bus).

Maybe it's a credit to ourselves that Wenger set his side up like he did against City - saw us as a threat, not necessarily there for the taking as we had been in recent years.

Mason & Bentaleb were incredible. Are they better footballers than Ramsey & Cazorla at present? No. But it doesn't matter how good of a player you are, if the opposition want in 10 times more than you, there's nothing you can do to stop the tide.

Dier was exceptional, after some stick at the start of the season, he showed us why he'd been so highly sought-after in the summer.

Harry Kane? What can I say! You can say what you like about him not being 'the easiest on the eye', but the kid is a different class.

Today, a 21-year-old striker who could've been out on loan if it wasn't for Sherwood (credit where it's due) and Poch, made a World-Cup winning captain and the famed 'Bosscielny' (LOL) look like Sunday League centre halves.

We need to build on this, but the win should provide momentum.

COYS

 

Still trying to figure out the defensive dynamics of todays game, i think spurs central defensive midfield of bentuleb, Mason, Dier and verts had an understanding that the nomads similar unit didnt ! Full backs are more like attacking wingers these days and the two Dmfs and two CBS act as a core that deals with any actual threat from the othet sides attacking four unit. Saying that of course full backs have defensive responsibilities in this tactical battle, and our younger more dynamic defensive foursome were thus able to work at a higher midfield line and press the nomads into their home third ! Celebrate ! Coys.

 

I HAVE NEVER SEEN A HEADER CURVED UNTIL TODAY THANKS SUGAR KANE YOU MADE MY YEAR

 

I tend to agree felon.... Did we all get
Poch wrong or are these results just a flash in the pan? Fair play he seems to be winning us over!

 

Fantastic game and full credit to the manager for showing faith in these players who want to be there and play for and fight for this club. Massive result and well deserved

 

I wont forget that win against Chelsea. In fact I think it was bigger. We destroyed a better side than that weak as piss bunch which in all honesty, we played with.
I'm not too sure what's happening at the moment but it feels bloody good!
