Yeah, I would say I think a draw was a fair result.
You know, Arsenal had to force the issue, the home team, and they did.
And I think Spurs showed great resilience in withstanding the pressure they were under.
But when you're 2-0 up and you're into the extra time of the first half, I think it was Danny Rose had a chance just to put his foot through the ball right in front of us.
Just turn Arsenal back four and then get regrouped and you're still in your position.
But it's like throughout the game, Tottenham were trying to play out from the back.
And a lot of the problems had caused themselves.
You know, they were, time and time again, they were, you know, playing out from the back and Arsenal were all energy and up on top of them.
And I thought they brought a lot of the problems on themselves.
But...
If they go in 2-0 at half-time, Spurs, the manager gets the chance to settle them, talk to them, maybe say that to them.
Don't heap pressure on yourselves by playing too much football in and around your own area.
They might have got away with it in the second half, but they've been harsh on Arsenal.
I think Arsenal...
were near enough, you know, they were fabulous throughout, showed resilience to bounce back from 2-0.
That's their side of it.
For me, Tottenham, coming here, having lost last week, they showed a bit of bottle as well, and they were good as well.
I'm not sure why he even goes to the first header.
He sees his own man, whoever it is, Nduzi, whoever, in front of him, challenging for the ball.
Just be a sweeper.
