Pretty good first half from both teams I thought. Slack defending to give Walcott all that space, but a fairly solid performance besides that.

Wish Townsend would do something creative instead of shoot every time he touches it.

Giroud is a classic nice poacher, exactly the player Arsenal has needed for the past few seasons, knows where to be in the right time and that's something you can't teach.

Reminds me of Inzaghi/Anelka.

Pretty boring first half though!

Cazorla's movement has been brilliant so far, pretty tough to mark him and that likely renders Capoue bit useless.

We're really lacking something in the final third. Holtby should be playing.

Soldado has had no service. Chadli just doesn't seem that good.

I mean over the first three games. I think a 26M striker should do more.

No matter how many come and leave , Defoe seems like a constant at Spurs.

He's done plenty. He was excellent against Palace and Dinamo 1st leg. The fact is, this current midfield setup lacks any creativity whatsoever and just about any striker would look average with no touches. I don't know why Holtby isn't playing, honestly.

Defoe on for Dembele, switched to 4-4-2 I guess.
