    For Walcott to come off the pitch thinking that was an acceptable performance is the reason why, yet again, we won't win anything this year.
    Like I said, he wasn't watching the same match as us!!!!

    Wenger's interview was far worse. Every tired old cliche in the book and zero answers.

    Henry's post match analysis captured the reality of this. On a one-off basis we got a point away from home. In terms of challenging for a title, there's absolutely nothing there.

    Agree. He should have known better. He sure didnt play in the game.. thought at least he'd have watched it intently!
    Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..

    That's what he said. Viewing the game in isolation one point looked okay But he said looking at the performances in general there was no sign anything has changed and that there's not enough ambition to suggest we are any nearer to a title.

    He's right. It's what I was saying weeks ago when we were nicking results off pub teams. The general disorganisation in the team today and the inability to react to events on the pitch has been evident all season. Wenger is relying entirely on individual contributions to keep his ship afloat. There's no team there, at least not when the ringleader Cazorla is missing. and when there's no Santi Wenger shits his pants and shuts up shop, reverting to that awful tip tap safety first mentality. Even against the lower teams. Even at home. He's a manager going through the motions.

    We were bad against Southampton, Boro, Swansea, Burnley. Anyone else? Great against Chelsea. WE've lucked it a few times this season already. Henry is right.

    I am a "Wenger out" person, however, all the ex pro's are all of a sudden fucking experts on Management! Put up or shut up! Become a full time coach then!

    Woeful performance but we at least we didn't lose. Giroud did what he does best. Great header! Good cameo from Ox considering his last performance. He really needs to find some consistency because there is an opening on the left wing if he shows he's capable. Good performance from Cech and Kos as well. Sanchez and Theo were ok. The effort was there but still below par for the pair.

    It was woeful stuff from everyone else. Jenks just wasn't overlapping so that had a knock on effect to our attacks down the right. A few occasions we'd see a break on down that side and player expecting to see the overlap with Jenks nowhere to be found. Monreal had bad game as well. Caught sleeping for the goal and almost gave away a penalty.

    Over on the over flank, Ramsey was woeful. He'd lose the ball with bad touches, poor passing or just run into his opponent for it to go out of play. We really missed Iwobi. Not being able to play down that left side really messed with our game.

    Elneny and Coquelin really struggled. Elneny needs to toughen up and muscle players off the ball more. Coq made a shit load of tackles but needs to step up his distribution. Both of them need to put more pressure on our opponents and not give away so much space. They could have snuffed out the were paying attention.

    Ozil was pretty shit. I keep saying it, but he's capable of so much more and we've seen it this season. He can do more than just pass and today we could have done with him dropping back to help the build up play. We're going to struggle in the midfield without Santi.

    Good subs from Wenger because they go us the point but his record here is pretty shocking. No idea why we played so badly. Mental block? A good majority of these guys have hardly played this sort of fixture.
