Today we had chance to watch early North London derby between archrivals Tottenham and Arsenal. I was badly surprised by Poch because he put Tripper and Sanchez in squad. Other side also had unbelivable first 11 without main striker Aubameyang and with Iwobi again. Pochetino had luck because Iwobi was rival to Trippier on right side so Arsenal could not exploit this weakness to much. At least he let Lacazette to play. Also Alderweireld was aware who is he playing with and avoided to pass to Tripier in defence situations and was alerted on that side to close all gaps.

Game started better for Arsenal as Lacazette had great chance but he missed the ball in great oportunity. Soon after Sanchez from Tottenham made one of his non league soccer moves when he hit the ball like some chicken in the hen house and let the ball to Arsenal player with noone behind him. Ramzy run alone from the center and scored a goal for 1:0. Prick of referee Taylor, who did not have his day today, soon avoid to give yellow or red card to Shaqa who started with open crampons from back on Hary Kane's calf. He did not only avoid to give him well deserved (at least yellow) card, but he did not even blow the whistle for foul which was very insolent! Then we saw some field battle with a lot of bad passes on both sides, one good shoot which Ugo saved superbly and one great chance for Tottenham. H.Kane made dream pass to Eriksen founded him alone in 6-7 m from goal, but he shot at Leno, then the ball deflected to Spurs for clear shoot at goal, but Leno deflected that one in corner. H.Kane also scored a goal with very nice header which was dissalowed for offside. This was not mistake, he was 0.5m in offside. That was one of rare situations where referee was right.

Second half started in same nervous way, with Shaqa begging for card which referee did not want to give him. We saw one more great chance for Lacazette, but he shot wide of goal. We saw kungfu Rose who put his cramps to Leno's chest in 5 meters to get just yellow card, Tripper who ruined one great situation when H.Kane founded him alone on flank, but insted of pass to Eriksen who was alone in the box he closed his eyes and sent bad cross which went well above everyone. As I said in previous article lad forgot how to cross, his passes are bad at the moment he is waste of space. Then big drama started, prick Ref gave Tottenham penalty after some pushing of H.Kane in the box which came after half meter of offside. Kane was closer to the ball for that 0.5m, and Arsenal player tried to push him to prevent him from shoting and referee decided that this is enough for penalty for Spurs. H.Kane scores easily for 1:1. Crowd on Wembely exploded. Song "When the Spurs go marching in" were emidiately resounding from everywhere. It looked like Arsenal has been lost that Spurs might win this game, but then Poch put in the game guess who - Llorente and that was the end of Spurs hopes for win. In last minute Sanchez started on Aubameyang which made bad prick Taylor to give Arsenal penalty. I think that Sanchez did not touch him, but after that penalty for Spurs he was forced to give penalty to Arsenal too.

Aubameyang took responsibility and shot, but MAGNIFICANT HUGO LORIS saved his poor penalty kick. He deflected the ball, Arsenal tried to kick it to the net after, but SUPER IAN VERTONGEN guarded the goal with his life and prevented goal and all end up with just corner kick. We didn't see any more chances and everything ended 1:1, and Shaqa got yellow and Torreira saw red minute before end of injury time for vicious attempt to break the leg of Rose. We saw also 2 substitutes from Tottenham Lamela and Llorente making nasty fouls for yellow cards like Poch told them "make some fouls hurt someone" before letting them in.

As perspective from someone who supported Tottenham I can say that Lloris was great and man of the match for Spurs, Vertongen was also very good, Aderweireld too. Sanchez had some good interceptions, but is guilty for goal and penalty which makes his performance miserable. Trippier did not make crutial, guilty for goal, mistake and that was enough from him. He ruined few good attacks with bad crosses. Rose could not put together himself with the ball, his passes are from hell of nightmares. Weynayama and Sissoko pure average. Eriksen was not so good and missed one great chance. Son was invisible sleeping in offside in some situations. If he continue to play like that he could join military of South Korea. H.Kane made 2 great passes for 2 good chances, scored penalty but did not shot on time in one good situation after which Arsenal scored for 1:0. He was heavily guarded. Substitutes Lamela and Llorente did not manage to do anything good.

Conclusion is that Tottenham has to many players out of form at the moment. With those players in such bad form Spurs could easy lose one of first 4 places despite some advantage in points at the moment because they need to go to play against Liverpool and Manchester City.
