Arsenal (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

Not pretty - but as I said in the prematch I'd have snatched your hand off for that.
Need to accept that against some teams that'll be our go to currently - things will improve though

 

[bluemoon32]

Needs must i suppose & yes we showed a lot of heart but i sincerely hope we never play like that ever again, it's just not City under Pep

 

[PrezIke]

If we'd blown the lead and lost this, going mental wouldn't even describe how I think many of us would react.

Some good signs and still some questions in need of answers, but early enough daze to say that I'm not worrying TOO much about this one.

Arsenal have more pressure on them to win this at home and show they are "better" than us as some seem to think.

Not convinced they are better than us at all.

Think there are signs we can hit our stride as the season goes on.

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

It was only 5 minutes but good to see us not collapse after the goal like we have done the last 12 months.

 

[Pedestrian]

Settle for that result but that ref was atrocious. Hilarious that they celebrated like that given there was still time left. Small time cunts. Arteta needs a good hiding.

 

[geoff hammond]

can add reijnders to that list too, absolute useless player

Didn’t do too bad for our goal though. Or did u forget that

 

[blue by birth]

Great result, but we have lost our midfield superiority due to poor signings; even United had more than 56 percent possession against us.
Hope Kovacic brings more solidity to the midfield

Remind me of the score v the rags???
I thought we won.. possession means fuck all if you don't score

 

[GLBlue1995]

Eight days ago, we’d all have happily taken two wins and a draw.

Holding on would have been great, but this was a good result and a really good week. Seems like we’ve found something with the back four. Doku’s getting better every game. Haaland looks great. Rodri getting healthy. Hope we made it out of today healthy and take advantage of a bit easier week to continue to get better.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Would have snapped your hands off for a draw pre-match. Really, really wanted to shithouse a 1-0 at the emirates though and we really should have, we did everything to take the win there. Donnarumma played well but he fucked us at the end.

Disappointing to lose the lead at the death but a big big improvement on last seasons Emirates arse collapse

 

[comiskey33]

Lost all our threat when Doku and Haaland substituted

 

[daztrueblue91]

We turned up not to lose and didn’t lose. You perform the way we did and you need to be switched on for 97 minutes, not 90.

Whilst the immediate feeling is one of frustration, it’s nice to see Pep mixing it up. Although I’m not sure about the Haaland sub!

 

[Protein Junkie]

Would have taken a point before the game. A bit gutted not to hold for all three.
Still love this club.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Terrible terrible goal to lose, GK was immense all match and then end up in no-mans land right at the end...what was he thinking? His bad decision made it easy for Martinelli, "go on lob me"...
Another game against Liverpool & The Arse without a win...up to 10 now.
Brave defensive performance but not quite good enough, very little attacking threat after our goal from us.
Their goal started with Nico G losing the ball on the edge of their box, this guy is not nearly good enough for us.
Immense from Doku, it was very good that Rodri lasted the whole game, defence was so brave.
Should have held out, all their pressure and they end up scoring from a. break...rather ironic

 

[SuttonColdfieldBlue]

Said before the game I’d happily take a point today. Now sat upstairs sulking on my own but probably shouldn’t be.

Always gutting when it happens that late on but entirely predictable and - let’s be honest - a draw wasn’t an unfair result.

Can’t fault the effort - the entire team put in a real shift today. Rodri looked beyond done for in the last 10 minutes, superhuman effort. Arsenal will blow some teams away like they did to us there last year and we kept them out for the most part. Well done to the lads for digging in and the discipline, the lapse for the goal aside.

It’s a bit of a punch in the gut but not the end of the world. Onwards and upwards.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Unlucky. Just cant play that high line when no Khusanov, there's nobody else quick enough. Why we were pushing forward at that point I dont know but shows we can mix it up, sort of performance that we may need in Champs League.

Well, no-one else quick enough who actually has the defensive instinct and ability to tackle.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

In what World do you bring Savinho on in that scenario?
2 points thrown away.

 

[Micky Blue]

Dunnarumma is one of us.... it's our fault

If it wasn’t for him we would have conceded a few more.

 

[Sky Blue]

can add reijnders to that list too, absolute useless player

Yawn. Made the goal.

 

[MCFCFanTX]

Solid result but still a disappointing result given the timing of the equalizer. Players were exhausted with Arsenal having extra rest headint into the match. Ake has to be better and more aware for their goal.

Doku excellent again. Haaland inevitable. Rodri irreplaceable. Nico should be the starting LB moving forward, he's shown a lot of improvement defensively.

 

[madloaf]

We're not as good as them so for us to do that and get close to nicking 3 points shows progression to me. Showed some balls, kept running. Doku really has come of age.
