Happy with a point...poor performance today! Cant believe how many passes we messed up! Happy to just get to the summer transfer window with a top 4 finish and then we can move on from 5 or 6 of these players....

I would be if we hadn't be saying the same for the last 2 seasons.

For me game was lost when yaya came on for sterling. Yaya just is not the player he was, age has made a difference. His touch and around play was not good enough. Goodbye and thanks for the fish.

I didnt say we deserved anything.......i said it was a penalty.

you see them given...you see them not given..if it had been against us then i would have argued equally that it wasnt a penalty

I dont like to rely on what we cannot effect (ie the decsion of the ref and pure chance).

I like to look at what we do or what we dont do......today that was mainly retaing possession and giving simple passes....both we were shocking at today. Ive not seen anyone concentrating on those things today and all people want to do is ignore it and concentrate on something that we cannot effect and no ammount of moaning about will ever change.....

I am loathe to say it (and I may be wrong) but I can't see Pep being too angry. A performance like that's needs a bacon face style purple veined nose busting rant in the changing rooms. Not acceptable at all.

Looking at the bench, who realistically can change a game for City? That's the question. Players will be shipped probably. Hopefully. As players with winning mentality needed.

Iheanacho and Fernando weren't even selected and as far as we know aren't injured. There were three defenders on the bench, one of whom is fairly likely to get injured by the end of the game. Nolito could have created.

I said I'd take a draw before the game so I'm not too disappointed, but I thought it was obvious Arsenal didn't fancy it today and our general lack of composure throughout the game was worrying. It was the kind of game a good side wins comfortably, which shows how much work the management team have got to do in summer.

Be honest did you take the same tact against Chelsea and Spurs as I'm having deja vu here.

Too many blues defending shit/biased refereeing after too many big games because they want to have a good moan at the players about the performance or wasted chances. It's a fact we'd have more points had we got the right calls in too many big games this season, it's nothing to do with if you or I feel we "deserved it" because we were "wasteful with the chances we had" or just looked flat or didn't want it enough... it's about big calls going against us time and time again, I'd rather have those calls and the points and then we address the performance from a better position.

i did wth chelsea...not with spurs though......we were unluck y against spurs but still teh architects of our own failure with shocking defending but we pplayed well that day in a lot of other areas.......

vs chelsea the reffing decsions were poor but like i said,,,you cannt rely on that..you have to look at what you can effect and again in areas that day we were poor in the second half

Same as Monaco.
We forgot how to play..Lads must be really thick

 

[Withnail]

Fuming, same old weaknesses flaky defence, not seeing a game out. We lack leadership, someone to take the game by the scruff of the neck and win the game when the opposition are there for the taking.

Fa Cup win and top 4 will do for me. But there is a long way to go this season before this happens with this group of players. Saying that we were screwed by Mariner again at the end of the game that was a penalty

Another frustrating performance in a frustrating season.
