    when Mourinho did it the same tacticos would call it parking the bus, but now its a "tactical gamble" lmao



  2. @aarit3884 on September 19, 2024 at 7:07 pm

    all this just to come 2nd



  3. @kaunghlyan6726 on September 19, 2024 at 7:08 pm

    Back in the day, we just called it "parking the bus". Utter woke nonsense.
    /s



  4. @BurghClips-o2g on September 19, 2024 at 7:11 pm

    I feel like spurs never do anything from these type of attacks so great decision by arteta



  5. @1alamby72 on September 19, 2024 at 7:12 pm

    No need to double up on Johnson, he’s pants



  6. @juz882010 on September 19, 2024 at 7:12 pm

    ange should of went for sancho



  7. @scottheneveld695 on September 19, 2024 at 7:16 pm

    So… they just parked the bus 😂



  8. @bennicholson9817 on September 19, 2024 at 7:18 pm

    It was literally eddie howes tactics vs spurs 😂



  9. @alanmuch7829 on September 19, 2024 at 7:19 pm

    I remember when they did the same thing to Mikel Arteta, and now they are praising him for where Arsenal is at the moment.
    This is just a reminder that Arteta finished 8th, 8th, 5th, 2nd, 2nd in his managerial career at Arsenal.
    Ange finished 5th in his 1st season… TRUST THE PROCESS 💪 💪 💪



  10. @user-ew7gq5jm8n on September 19, 2024 at 7:21 pm

    son is now old; he should retire



  11. @user-nz1vd5je6n on September 19, 2024 at 7:23 pm

    what shut down Spurs was buying Johnson last season



  12. @1337sammy on September 19, 2024 at 7:24 pm

    The moment Odobert came on he immediately got doubled. Took way too long to bring him on, Ange’s in game management is honking



  13. @vijayantrao930 on September 19, 2024 at 7:24 pm

    Bro just played park the bus..



  14. @ianvandermey9815 on September 19, 2024 at 7:25 pm

    Your analysis is reductive due to the fact arsenal scored their only goal from a head off a corner. The biggest issue is why solanke is at spurs and secondly why he is upfront over Son



  15. @vbirds10 on September 19, 2024 at 7:28 pm

    Odobert should be starting every game



  16. @JackPaul-vs3bq on September 19, 2024 at 7:30 pm

    If Mourinho had done that, you lot would be calling him a Dinosaur. When Arteta does it against a fairly shitty Spurs side, it’s called "gambling". 😂😂



  17. @leonmeyers7009 on September 19, 2024 at 7:30 pm

    This is why I don’t get why people think Son is a good player. He is fast enough to run past the defenders but no real dribbling, no real assists, or even no real finishing. He’s making Anthony look good out there💀



  18. @joelmahiane4693 on September 19, 2024 at 7:31 pm

    Next game savhio and doku



  19. @aimedhamour9092 on September 19, 2024 at 7:31 pm

    Boring football



  20. @thariquenalakath7449 on September 19, 2024 at 7:33 pm

    Park the Bus! And accelerate up pitch once you have the ball. We miss you Jose 😮😅



  21. @FlamingBasketballClub on September 19, 2024 at 7:34 pm

    Park the bus effect 💀



  22. @theopratama9047 on September 19, 2024 at 7:35 pm

    Chadteta



  23. @dman9152 on September 19, 2024 at 7:35 pm

    Artera is a defensive manager, just tony pulis with money.



  24. @chinaman1 on September 19, 2024 at 7:35 pm

    i dont think there’s really much to Analyse when it comes to Tottenham.



  25. @praktika1082 on September 19, 2024 at 7:38 pm

    If you have a keeper who likes to claim crosses, you’d be ok with crosses coming into your box from wide positions.



  26. @josuebarboza9809 on September 19, 2024 at 7:40 pm

    But old heads will still bad talk analytics and insint on non stop long passes to ghe classic number 9 as the best way to play football 😂



  27. @sk_1724 on September 19, 2024 at 7:41 pm

    When Arteta does it, it’s great but when Jose does it, hes suddenly an enemy of football? Make it make sense



  28. @MrJ_997 on September 19, 2024 at 7:44 pm

    This is a very long winded way to say that they parked the bus and hoped for a counter or corner



  29. @jevin2738 on September 19, 2024 at 7:45 pm

    Football vsauce



  30. @vixthunderboy6481 on September 19, 2024 at 7:45 pm

    He did use 2 defenders on a winger many a times during the match tho



  31. @Eko_55_ on September 19, 2024 at 7:46 pm

    0% risk gamble



  32. @VoiceOfReason579 on September 19, 2024 at 7:46 pm

    We dont respect them



  33. @lebowski7717 on September 19, 2024 at 7:47 pm

    Was just sayin this down pub



  34. @ibeaniebona4492 on September 19, 2024 at 7:49 pm

    A tactician never GAMBLES..he makes decisions that positively influences a game instantly..put some respect on arteta’s name 🤨



  35. @zaidmomin9735 on September 19, 2024 at 7:49 pm

    Fancying "PARKING THE BUS".



  36. @InstigatorDJ on September 19, 2024 at 7:50 pm

    Its called parking the bus. Ask Forest, its what they did vs Liverpool.



  37. @joshuahwang2252 on September 19, 2024 at 7:50 pm

    Ange out



  38. @JoshTooSporty on September 19, 2024 at 7:50 pm

    Who’s the 3rd player?

    I’m trying to understand how he is Key player



  39. @davidsamadcaleb2657 on September 19, 2024 at 7:50 pm

    He should try it again against savinho and doku. Some premium cooking will go down



  40. @BarnyWaterg8 on September 19, 2024 at 7:52 pm

    Arsenals going to have their work cut out for them against City. Much much much better wingers than Spurs



  41. @brunomarin4624 on September 19, 2024 at 7:52 pm

    everyone and their mom could see winger was and has been by far spurs biggest need and they’ve done nothing meaningful to address it lol, classic



  42. @pangdogmichael on September 19, 2024 at 7:52 pm

    34 yes old Son and Johnson are no concerns to White and Timber



  43. @Gooner_for_life on September 19, 2024 at 7:52 pm

    Arteta! My manager



  44. @bashiva on September 19, 2024 at 7:53 pm

    So he basically parked the bus and hit them on counter

    If the same was done by other managers this same media will call it shame tactics

    Bias



  45. @kristoferjefferson2058 on September 19, 2024 at 7:55 pm

    That’s less ‘gambling’ than simply knowing your opponents weaknesses and planning for them.



  46. @Vanguardkl on September 19, 2024 at 7:55 pm

    Tactical gamble? Lads, it’s Spurs.



  47. @ralphades on September 19, 2024 at 7:58 pm

    I still can’t believe that Forest was able to fool Spurs into thinking Brennan Johnson is a good player lol he’s just fast



  48. @khalidmkhan on September 19, 2024 at 7:59 pm

    And they only won from a corner kick….



  49. @karrole88 on September 19, 2024 at 8:00 pm

    Spursy was at their best and Arsenal at their weakest yet spursy lost.



  50. @getimpaled3460 on September 19, 2024 at 8:01 pm

    Idk I’d say it was more of just overworking Saka again. He was tasked with both marking the full back, and helping White deal with Son. He was constantly standing in the middle between all of them and just juggling around wherever the threat seemed the biggest
