Mertesacker was poor today, too exposed for pace..Ramsey looked anonymous....and Wilshere was probably our best player in the second half.
Arguably could have won the game but a draw is a fair result and i think 16 points from 21 is a creditable start to the season. I said when the fixtures were published in June that we had no excuse not to be up there or there abouts by October time and for me after the Villa game we have met expectations.
