The PFA Young Player of Year was left
isolated for large periods of the game, although he did force Portugal keeper Jose Sa into a full - length save with a fierce long - range shot shortly after the half - hour mark.
We are all thankful to Arteta for what he's done, but his role yesterday was to calm play down, hold the ball, protecting the back four, but instead,
for large periods of the game, Tottenham needed just one pass to get from their defense to our box.
How is it not surprising (im trying my best not to insult you) we should've went up 1 - 0 and arguably 2 - 0 we went toe to toe with arguably the best team in history and stifled there front 3
for large periods of the game.
