Match Day 10: Tottenham (H)

Big North London Derby game at home! OOSH!










Here is how the team is lining up. Decided to keep Tello on the left there (even though he really is a right sided winger...). Pretty strong team, but needs to be to counter the threats of Baines and Bale down the left (my right..)














Let's get this game on!!!
13m: Tello with a screamer from 30yards hits the underside of the bar but not in, Giroud on hand for the rebound. Easy tap in. 1-0 Arsenal.
21m: After winning possession, Fellaini knocks it wide to the Ox, he easily beats Baines and smashes a cross in, only for Giroud to head over the bar. Getting close!!!
22m: From a goal kick, Szczesny passes to Mertesacker, who dillydallies with the ball. Easily dispossessed by Adebayor, who shots and scores. Bugger. 1-1 -- Claims of hand ball... dubious?
Half time: Told the boys to keep it up. Fingers crossed they'll keep going and get the win.
68m: After some speculative long shots that have gone close, Tottenham launch a counter and Huddlestone sends it wide.
71m: Despite having good games, I think it's time for a change in midfield. Garmash (7.1 - 73%) off for Wilshere. Tello (6.8 -- 75%) off for Wellington Nem.
Full Time. It stayed 1-1. Bit disappointed as they only scored through our error.

Judging by the player ratings (below), both keepers didn't perform too brilliantly. This draw means I drop to 6th. But I didn't start the day at 3rd, I apparently rose up from 7th... Other results around me meant that I dropped. Onwards and upwards.
