That was a terrible match and we are sorely lacking in leadership and confidence. We have a fragile glass jaw. At 1-0 up at home to the worst team in the league who were down to ten men we contrived to fall apart, lose all shape and did just about everything in our power to gift them an equaliser.
I've been pretty critical of Mannone of late but have to acknowledge that he saved us 2 points today. Which cancels out the 2 points he cost us last week. He genuinely looked pleased with his performance and acknowledged those of us behind his goal with a beaming smile and appreciative clapping. He was well chuffed and appreciated our acknowledgement of his contribution in earning those points.
Hopefully he can build on this because aside from his performance when called upon and Wilshere's return there was hardly anything to cheer today.

Tactically inept from wenger again. No width, no incision, no lessons learnt from Wednesday. As underwhelming a three points as we'll ever win.
Shit team, shit tactics, Shit manager and dont let me start on QPR. As usual we almost let the 3 points get away in the end against 10 men. Why is it that we can never have any composure defending a lead. Ramsey serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever, He should have started Gervinho on the wing or even played Jenkinson in front of Sagna, but as usual Wenger prefers to go down to hell with his mistakes, and take evryone else down along with him. It gonns be another long season with the same predictable result. Wenger somehow does enough to scramble 4th, which is all he aims for from the start anyway.
Is there not any way that we can incorporate Podolski as our main attacking threat? He seems to be doing way too much work at the minute, right the way back in left-back sometimes. The way he and Giroud are partnered up, and the results it has, has a stark similarity to the Adebayor and RVP coupling we had a few years back. The better striker doing all the work, while the langurous one reamins off-side.
It would, inevitably, mean a 4-5-1, so it's interesting to see what our best possible midfield would be to help Podolski...
