After bad performance and hardly conquered point in Arsenal game thanks to Ugo Loris penalty save and Vertongen's after penalty clearing Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino gave statement in which he told us that he believes Tottenham was better than Arsenal in all aspects after their contentious 1-1 draw at Wembley. This statement shows up total absence of sense for reality. Game where Lacazette missed two 100% chances, where Arsenal got penalty in 90th minute, where Spurs scored only goal after doubtful penalty decided after undoubtful offside of H.Kane can not be the one where his players deserved more. They should celebrate that point as birthday. I wonder what is point for such non realistic statements ? Does he really believe that ? If so Spurs have more serious trouble because if this performance satisfies them they will not go in right direction. This claim made some fans re twit things like "What drug are you using ? Give me some of that too please!" LOL.

It is not good to lose sense for reality before important Champions League game even when you carry 3:0 from first leg there. Dortmund could give 4 to Real Madrid in the past. Stubborn appointing of out of form and unsure players in critical parts of squad like Sanchez or Trippier is good recipe for disaster.

Trippier

It is true that Trippier did not make big mistake which lead to goal for Arsenal in the game, but that we can thank to Alderweireld who know with who he is playing with and avoided passing the ball to right when ever he could. He almost always choose to pass to other players in critical parts of field. However, one thing where Trippier was good in the past were crosses from right flank. Yesterday H.Kane founded him alone on that position. He had plenty of time, Eriksen alone in the box and what he did ? He closed his eyes and fired up cross well above everyone and ruined something which should be great goal chance. His passes are not accurate anymore, he can't cross, he can't assist for goal. What is worse every other Premier Club knows that now because he plays like that for months. He was good at free kicks on World Cup, he scored goal vs Fulham, but I can bet that he can't shoot at goal from free kick anymore too.

Sanchez

It was clear that he is so unsure even in famous Dortmund game. He did not improve since then. Versus Arsenal he made bizarre mistake in attempt to play the ball with his head. He looked like some chicken in the hen and did it so clumsy that the ball came straight to Arsenal player who could only say to him "Thanks man" and pass to Aron Remzy who run alone toward Ugo. Sanchez run after him but almost crush at Hugo with other clumsy tackle. I am happy he didn't make penalty and get red card so all end up with just goal and not with game over. Later he had some good header preventing chance for Arsenal, but he is constantly unsure and Spurs fans get frozen when he has the ball and need to pass. Then at the end he made penalty for Arsenal. I see no reason for him to constantly play as center defender. He is big hole in defense!

Llorente

When Tottenham equalized and everything looked like Spurs are closer to victory Poch decided to put Llorente in the game instead of Son. Son was not playing well, but he is undoubtedly faster and of course better with the ball than that Spanish clumsy skyscraper. Lucas in any form and any day is better than him, but Lucas watched the game from the bench.

Rose

Lad can not assemble himself with the ball these days. He made so many bad passes that I would advise someone on the bench to count them during the game and to present him after. He was absolute zero versus Arsenal. He could see red card for his attempt with open crampons to Leno's chest. It's ugly to say but when Arsenal player tried to hurt him at the end of the game I thought "He is doing Spurs a favor". Shame from me, but I was so pissed off with his performance against Arsenal.

Hiding real problems in squad with statements like this are never good. If I am him I would say that we were not on necessary level to win this game and that I can sing happily with this non-deserved gift point from this game. I could say also thanks to Ugo and Vertongen for saving us and apologize to the fans and promise that we are going to improve in next games. I feel real sorry for great players like Alderweireld, Vertongen, H.Kane, Lloris because they need to play with such below average players. I am aware that eventual replacements of Rose or Trippier could be even worse than they are, but can not understand pushing clumsy Llorente as sub instead of Lucas. I would also ask myself why Tottenham made just 1 good chance (one near end of first half which Leno superbly saved twice). Why this club can't make 2 chances versus bad defense like Arsenal have ? Socratis looked like ex Brazilian defender Doctor Socrates, Maldini or Costacurta versus Spurs. Last week clumsy David Luiz from Chelsea looked like one of those too. If Spurs were better I guess they would create far more chances than Arsenal. Useless possession of the ball which end with bad passing are not sign of better playing.

So Poch please land down to reality from whatever caused this statement before it is to late and start to fix those problems in squad.
