In the last ten minutes plus stoppage time, Liverpool had their tails up but Forest were solid - especially Sels, Aina, and Williams, I thought - and dangerous on the counter.A draw seems a fair result. Not a bad point.
I wonder if Spurs can pull out a performance in the North London Derby. Struggle against Tamworth turn up at the Emirates wouldn't be out of character for them.In the last ten minutes plus stoppage time, Liverpool had their tails up but Forest were solid - especially Sels, Aina, and Williams, I thought - and dangerous on the counter.
Enjoyable contest.
Arsenal are pretty banged up too. Jesus is out indefinitely now.I wonder if Spurs can pull out a performance in the North London Derby. Struggle against Tamworth turn up at the Emirates wouldn't be out of character for them.
No Saka, Jesus, White, Calafiore, Tomiyasu, or Nwaneri.Arsenal are pretty banged up too. Jesus is out indefinitely now.
Obviously not all of these are as important, but I don’t get how the attack hangs together. Havertz had started to perform as a 9 but that was with Saka creating and pulling defenses out of shape. Jesus is better able imo to function up top alone and feed on scraps without as much support but now he’s out. There’s still more attacking talent than most sides but it’s not an ideal setup.No Saka, Jesus, White, Calafiore, Tomiyasu, or Nwaneri.
And then Son makes it 0-1 Spurs to reward said flurry.The NLD has been all Arsenal so far after 20 minutes. Finally Spurs with a flurry
This moves Kulusevski inside and drops Bergvall into the 6 role. It's essentially a 4-1-2-3 with two #10s. A very attacking lineup. But Sarr and Bissouma were giving them neither passing nor ball recovery, so might as well go for it.Maddison and Johnson on for Sarr and Bissouma.
