Although it seemed like it early on in the game, and in hindsight far more obvious, that we were in their heads before the ball was even touched.

Nketiah's blatant dive in only the second minute, Gabriel was trying to wrestle with Kulu on one run shortly after that to get into his head, and the persistent attacks on Sonny all showed that they were desperate to do anything just to throw us off our game. Teams tend to only do that when you know the other has the upper hand and you need to try to do anything to level the game in your favor. They knew the game was ours to take and once it went 2-0 they essentially gave up any hope.

They might claim that it shows a sense of fight from their side, but it was all the actions of a team terrified from the very start.
 
I counted 3 straight reds for him in the game. Kicking Son in the ribs when he was down, the elbow to the face, and physically throwing him when both were on the ground as Son was trying to get up.

There's no doubt in my mind that he was under orders to use the dark arts in an attempt to wind Son up to get a reaction to get him sent off. That's why Arteta was so upset, his plan backfired.
I wouldn't have given any of them reds for me but strong yellows but he was 100% going pre half time.


Listening to a pod today and apparently he is normally laid back but was playing the hard man against Costa in a cup final and it paid off so it looked like he tried to repeat it.
 
Was this in the Shelfside bar? I was in the Goalline bar, it was mainly "ArseAnal get battered"
But this was pretty impressive,,, especially if they only came up with that on FT??? Maybe they did!
We must have sung it a hundred times, it was brilliant, yes it was the Shelf Bar :)
 
He's got this weird vibe, like some sort of repressed inner turmoil. His intensity just makes you feel uncomfortable.

Pep might seem a bit autistic, and Klopp/Mou/Conte are harsh disciplinarians, but at least they're human.

This guy just leaves you cold.
That's because he's made out of Lego!

There was a guy outside No.8 adamant that it was Spurs behind the cordon... I thought he was mad, or drunk!
Seems he was right after all!!!!

To be honest, apart from one Gooner on a bike going the other way at Tottenham Hale, I didn't see ANY last night outside the ground... and I hung around for ages!
...either the Police did their job (!) or they all got in the ground early!!
The Police were excellent, and I think you're right on both counts. They escorted got a load them late to the game, and it was worth missing the first 15 minutes for that.
