Match Reaction v Tottenham Hotspur (away).

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

Emery got his tactics spot on and it was a brilliant performance by the team in general.

However when you have "usual suspects" on the pitch, you know they will let you down eventually and they did.

Mustafi gave away the plainly stupid offside penalty and Xhaka did everything to get a red but unlucky Torriera got it instead.

Yeah I know some will say if our strikers took their chances we wouldn't have needed to worry or if the ref had sent of Rose but we were playing away in the prem against a rival and by now one should know only a full 100% professional performance would get us the 3 points and tbh the clean sheet was there for the taking. Even leaky Chelski kept a clean sheet against spurs.

Great game, loved Mhki's performance but I strongly believe if he hadn't played certain players (who have let us down repeatedly) we would deservedly have all 3 points against a sub-par Spurs team. It would have marked them no matter whatever they achieve this season

Good result though.
