Arsenal gave them 2/3 possession. That doesn’t mean they were “in control.” As long as Spurs were passing the ball around the middle third of the pitch, Arsenal were in control by design. Every time Spurs hoofed a cross in on a prayer, Arsenal were in control. Spurs only did what Arsenal wanted or allowed them to do. That’s the definition of control.
You're right and not right; yeah arsenal sat deep to defend which is their objective, but it's only because rice and odegaard were out. Inviting loads of pressure from spurs could have cost them if spurs weren't uncreative beyond kulusevski and porro Crosses. It worked out, and you limited them, but only because you had to, that's not real control of a game if ygm
@@seanbevan2768looking at the goals arsenal conceded last season they hardly conceded any goals when in defensive mode. So it wasn't how tottenham lacked creativity but how it's too difficult to score against arsenal when they have all their players defending. Even city didn't score a single goal against arsenal last season. Do they lack creativity?
The repeating of the slight nudge is making me laugh because when Gabriel got pushed against Newcastle we wet told that Gabriel needs to be stronger as a defender
People are saying Spurs dominated. But Arsenal controlled the game. Look at Madison and Solanke's pass and touch maps. Almost totally in non dangerous areas. Very low xg, so they were limited to low quality chances. Arsenal were happy to concede possession. My 16 yr old sons friend, a Spurs fan, said before the goal, "a set peice against us is like a pen".
Arsenal is a really good team, but chasing Man City looks like chasing a mirage. Arsenal if able to win UCL, I think only then they can mentally outmuscle them, what Jurgen did
This word 'control' has been overused by pundits when reviewing the Spurs vs Arsenal match totally ignoring the fact that in football a team can control a match by willingly conceding possession of the ball while defending their spaces..
Its moments in football lad, thats the unfortunate aspect of football. Romero had an absolute solid game and im and Arsenal fan, but the mistake in that moment is whats going viral. All those last ditch tackles,blocks playing the ball between the lines are forgotten about.
The man Dawson is not making any sense. One minute he's saying spurs should be going into the nld with 9pts up, next he says they're poor defending. Next he's praising Arsenal, which is it? Maybe 🤔 it's me.
Why is everyone forgetting Liverpool 😂😂.... its hilarious that arsenal are getting spoken about being better then Liverpool at challenging city... i don't think pundits watch football.. I honestly don't
Is it me or Sky Sports panel is an eyesore now?? Nobody talks any sense anymore there. There’s TH-camrs that have better insight of the games than these so called pundits. Refereeing. Punditry is way below the quality of PL.
It's an insult to Arsenal to compare it to a small team like City. I don't care who wins the season. Arsenal is a better team. Followed by Liverpool, Aston Villa, Crystal palace, Brighton, Leicester, Everton.... teams with an identity that is visible when they play. Even Newcastle with all the money in the world are fighting to preserve their identity. If I have to explain more then this comment isn't for you rather it's for real football fans. To that guy that grew up with nothing but a ball to his name, a relationship was developed to facilitate survival.
The ref for the city/arsenal game actually works for the city owner as well. He does games in Abu Dhabi for the league that is owned by him. Conflict of interest!
As a arsenal fan I think we maybe for now we are in front but Liverpool have experience and one thing about Liverpool is never rule them out they are quality no doubt have lot of respect for Liverpool and always fun watching man u get battered lol
They allowed you to have possession and play in their own half. You had hardly any chances and Arsenal had the better chances. More than one way to play.
It’s called giving u possession. Without odegaard and rice are midfield is obviously a weak point. And with how strong our defence is counter attacking football is what’s better and it worked. Arguably could have 2 or 3 for us.

@@seanbevan2768arsenal played the same way against spurs last season with rice and odegaard. As the last comment said arsenal allowed them the ball.
@@tonyrobson6457cost them a draw at home when Spurs were playing well though, which ultimately cost them the title.

The first ten games was rosy because teams where yet study Spurs' strategy. Now teams are aware. The manager needs to have multiple systems
Arsenal is a really good team, but chasing Man City looks like chasing a mirage.
Arsenal if able to win UCL, I think only then they can mentally outmuscle them, what Jurgen did
Nostradamus 😅
We have the strength and the ability to beat City.
Tottenham fans make me laugh, because we beat them they think we can challenge, like that were such an obstacle
Thanks for the show Dawson love u man spurs legend
Great shout Cpt Obvious
This word 'control' has been overused by pundits when reviewing the Spurs vs Arsenal match totally ignoring the fact that in football a team can control a match by willingly conceding possession of the ball while defending their spaces..
That's obvious
Not to some Spurs and rival fans - they must have missed the memo.
Dawson the only Spurs affiliate that has said Romero wasn’t goal side which enabled the nudge. It’s awful defending!!
That guy said Arsenal will batter Bayern Munich in the UCL's quarter-final... so yeah.
4th will be between Spurs, Newcastle and Villa. Have to take points off those teams.
Asernal is working on closing the gap between Man City. It will be tight this season.
People forget arsenal had several corners which were well defended by spurs. But we focus on that one corner
Its moments in football lad, thats the unfortunate aspect of football. Romero had an absolute solid game and im and Arsenal fan, but the mistake in that moment is whats going viral. All those last ditch tackles,blocks playing the ball between the lines are forgotten about.
@@ad6892 exactly. We want there to defend and try to counter. That's credit to spurs
Cheers for that mate
tbh dawson I think you could still do a job at spurs the way they going lol
If this was a boxing match, it would be Ali and Foreman roper dope.
A very tough and complex match.
They will be the closer team to arsenal 😂 anyone could tell you that as they have been the last few seasons pretty obvious really
Close but not close enough
The man Dawson is not making any sense. One minute he's saying spurs should be going into the nld with 9pts up, next he says they're poor defending. Next he's praising Arsenal, which is it? Maybe 🤔 it's me.
As we are all in the mood in making really crazy comments, I just also want to add that I think the Sun is hot
😂
Time will tell actually
Michael Owen 2.0
😂 is Owen known for stating the obvious as well?
@@kaysheye7784 yeah his classic one is “when they don’t score, they don’t win” 😂😂
@@G.Singh7 😂
Nothing like stating the obvious. Terrible punditry as usual on sky.
Spurs was never in control of that game a mean they had a lot of possession but didn’t do anything with it
Never actually noticed until now but is it possible that Dawson is related to Dr Spock?
Closest to city cup
What makes you say that 🙄
Why is everyone forgetting Liverpool 😂😂.... its hilarious that arsenal are getting spoken about being better then Liverpool at challenging city... i don't think pundits watch football.. I honestly don't
Why's he wearing a straight jacket?
Because he has positive thoughts about Spurs
Each time you post, I'm excited!
Michael Dawson talks like the words have come out of his mouth before his brain has realised he's said them...
How about if city get points deduction then its more who's gonna b after arsenal
Who's Michael Dawson?
Legend 👍

Real Sociedad, FC Porto, Sporting are also worthy mentions.
you're a knob
In control 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you lot
It depends on which team plays most matches as they’ll be too tired to win the PL title won’t they??🤣🤣
Spurs to make top 4 …..
Spurs have gotten much worse
And City are the closet team to a dilute mini version of Barça
He was on the wrong side had he been facing back to goal towards to head back dat ball nd he is a center back he should know better ....
The ref for the city/arsenal game actually works for the city owner as well. He does games in Abu Dhabi for the league that is owned by him.

I think this is a good opportunity to say that' messi is the best footballer player on the planet
tf does this video have to do with messi
@@ttvvideos2050Messi is life
Be careful English fans will say Saka and Foden are better 😂
Are you stuck in 2012 my friend. Stop living in the past.
@@YTA5690 2012? F00l he's been the BEST player by a planet for 15 years 🤡
😂🎉
Baseless hype around Arsenal as usual after they just about scraped a win
Personally I think Liverpool are better than Arsenal. Who agrees
As a arsenal fan I think we maybe for now we are in front but Liverpool have experience and one thing about Liverpool is never rule them out they are quality no doubt have lot of respect for Liverpool and always fun watching man u get battered lol
2 great teams
Liverpool finished way behind arsenal last season in points and this season arsenal have strengthened even more while lpool lost king klopp
? 😂😂
😂😂??
Closest team lol Tottenham was the better team arsenal got dominated
Than why they don't beat us?

@@Deomnibusdubitandum274 7 shots 4 on target how sway 🤔
@@bigfistbysorsys the important point is better chances. Yes, Spurs had more shots, but they were nothing.
1 view thirty seconds?? Hmm… F.E.L.L O.F.F
It will be Liverpool finishing 2nd
You are fourth, and Newcastle won't give up their position for you.
