Match Reaction Arsenal 1-1 Shadow Dwellers

[Slacker]

I fully expected us to blow this one, and after getting played off the park I'm happy with the draw. When you consider the injuries we have it was never going to be easy playing Spurs with every player who has pace sidelined. Sure it was a meaningless away fixture against a pub team that paid for Ox and Theo, and you are right to blame the manager. Sticking rookies in with them was ridiculous and the loss looked inevitable even if Ox and subsequently Theo stayed fit.

I'm not expecting miracles from AW, as you guys have pointed out, he is not a master tactician and his stubbornness and his myopia all get in the way of seeing the bloody obvious. However I still harbour some hope that he might see a chink of light and seize on it, or at worst, he just gets damned lucky and flukes the league by pure accident because we do have some great players.

For me the good news is we will play better at their place and they will be on the back foot. If we win there it won't be bad in the scheme of things. Baby steps though. WBA away next, and please could we have Bellerin and one of Rambo, Theo or Ox as well???
