    It's a longshot, but I'm guessing his stake was not £350.

    If you look at the line up there was a bit of a lack of attacking pace and flair in terms of width, on one hand i can understand not playing Gnabry as with Sagna out you don't want to leave Jenkinson too exposed on the right side of defence, but could have started with Rosicky on the left hand side and don't really understand on what basis Arteta is starting games for us.

    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.

    You're back

    Thoughts on Ramsey overall this season?

    Not a bad point really. I'm sure West Brom will take points off our rivals as well this season.

    A bit of a tired performance, couldn't really string too much together.

    Thought Jenkinson was a bit shit, Sagan is several levels up from him.

    It's disappointing since it feels like an opportunity wasted. Credit to West Brom for getting a deserved point, they worked hard and look like a dangerous counter-attacking team. But we kind of played into their hands with an odd team selection. It's all well and good blaming the ref but we made a hard job more difficult for ourselves IMO.

    I have no idea what Wenger is thinking with Wilshere and Ramsey on the wings. If you're going to play a CM on the wing make sure it's a dynamic midfielder that knows how to adapt his game to the position, which Wilshere and Ramsey clearly don't. I've said it before, we're wasting Ozil like that because there aren't any runs or movement behind the opponent's defence or in threatening areas.

    Another thing I noticed was that Arteta was our deepest midfielder and Flamini played like a box-to-box midfielder. But Arteta was nowhere near as effective as Flamini has been in protecting the back four, and Flamini is not Ramsey. I would have thought the back four would be safer with both of them in CM but West Brom got a lot of joy against us on the counter. I have to say the Flamini-Ramsey CM looks more sound defensively as well as in attack.

    MS is probably right about us needing speed and directness today. Wenger did say after the Napoli game he picked Flamini with Arteta to shut Hamsik down. Today perhaps didn't require that even though it looks like a good set-up to play away. Then again West Brom are quite good going forward and the narrow midfield annihilated Napoli - with Rosicky the one player who didn't play that well - so continuity seemed fair enough.

    Definite penalty. From the first camera angle it looks like the defender might have got the ball first, but the second angle shows he clearly went through Jack to get to the ball. The ref had a perfect view of it too.

    Agreed.

    I think Wenget is a big fan of Arteta but now has a decision to make over his role in the midfield. IMO it should be one or the other between him and Flamini as I don't really see the need for them both.

    Decent result away against a WBA team that are on a fair run.

    Won't be too harsh, but Wenger messed up the midfield a bit today.


    Still, TopaDALeague..... say we"re TopaDaLeague.


    0h, and the scum.

    'Ammers.

    Dissapointing performance and result. No one had a particularly good game, except perhaps Chezzny. Ozil showed glimpses but was a bit on the periphery. After we got the equaliser we could have gone for it by taking off Arteta or Flamini and bringing on Gnabbers.

    Dont think it had a bearing on the result, but thought the ref was really poor. He let the oppo players get away with a lot of niggly fouls, yet everytime their players threw themselves to the floor he blew his whistle.

    The winning run was bound to end at some point, at least we picked up a point. If we bounce back and win our next 2 games I'll be well chuffed with the overall start we've made.

    It's as clear as any penalty has been or will ever be.

    The ref had a shocker.

    When will they start reprimanding these shit refs?

    never. they dont give a shit how bad their refs are. whenever a manager moans about a ref, they never look to see if he has a point, they just take action against the manager. its pathetic. the standard of refereeing is getting worse and worse.
