Match Reaction v Man Utd

[Marc Overmars]

Excellent for the first 40 minutes, we had them rattled. Everything was going a little too well though, so that imbalance had to be addressed by a calamity from Sagan.

We probably spent half time feeling sorry for ourselves because the 2nd half was shite and was pretty much a textbook United performance on how to nullify Arsenal.

Not the worst result in the world but could have been so much better if we weren't so typically accident prone.

Kos and Merts were good. As were Ramzi and Rosicky.

The rest? Meh.

[Niall_Quinn]

****s

[Joker]

Great first 40 minutes, turgid for the rest. The 2 centre backs did well and Theo looked threatening, but the rest were mediocre. Having said that, a draw's a decent result on the whole.

[Master Splinter]

Good start. Had to take full advantage in this period. We didn't.

Then Sagna evened the scores.

Any momentum was destroyed with WUMger taking off our two best attacking players, not taking off the utterly hopeless Sagna/Walcott axis and bringing on the ineffective Wilshere.

Cazorla, Sagna and Walcott (despite his goal) don't deserve to be starting given their form. Podolski and Wilshere are not match fit or fit full stop.

Rosicky, Ramsey, Koscielny and Mertesacker our best players again.

Three wins or bust. Maybe.

[Dennis Bendtner]

As a great fence-sitter once said, could have been better, could have been worse.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

40 minutes of intense pressing from a side that rarely does. Only going to be gassed after that in all likelihood.

A point isn't bad but it always sucks when you're the team that had the lead.

[Xhaka Can’t]

As disappointing as a draw against United can be,

[gunnerrrrr]

What's left to say about this team.

Ramsey - admirable work rate but football wise he does not look like he will be world class by any stretch of the imagination.

Wilshire - for all the hype I am really struggling to recall a world class performance from him this season.

Arteta, Carzola - good footballers but not world class

Kos I actually think is one of the best defenders in the league.

Sagna is and has been a thick bag of shit all season.

Average,average average - well done Wenger, looking at Dortmand what's your fucking excuse now you useless prat

Before the game I was seriously thinking of putting a hefty bet on RvP scoring and Utd winning. Half right but glad I didn't put the bet on.

Very good performance first half, probably our best first half of the season. Good early goal and we should have had a 2nd when we broke free. I forget who had the ball but he passed left to Podolski, it was the wrong ball - it should have gone right to Walcott who I'm sure would have scored.

Chesney made a great save to keep us in front.

And then all that good work was undone by a moment of madness by Sagna who really didn't have a good game today. Step up RvP, he was never going to miss.

2nd half Utd were better and could have gone ahead. We had our chances too though. Overall it was frustrating to drop 2 points when we could, arguably should, have had all 3 today. But it was a good performance, better than I expected, and while top 4 isn't in our hands we've got a good chance if we win our games.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Three wins or bust. Maybe.

Do not forget as well you know that Tottenham have a poor goal difference.

It would be very surprising if two wins and a draw didn't get fourth.
