what a great game to watch

 

we look SOOOOOO much better with a striker who is mobile. Sorry to say it regarding Lambert.

SG had to have scored that. but with the players we had missing, 2-2 at home to the league leaders, not bad

 

 

Lallana, Morgan and cork were very good

 

but Shaw, my MoM

When you back a team that plays football pretty much as entertainingly as it can be played, you have to be happy. That was really terrific tonight. Yeah, we deserved to win. But frankly the points arent' the biggest deal these days. What matters more is that we're building a side capable of truly being one of the best in the world.

Katerina looked genuinely thrilled at the end.

 

Hopefully she'll want to splash some cash in the next couple of days! She must have noticed that Yoshida was the weak link at the back and that a top class PL striker would've won that for us.

Great game and a great performance. Ultimately disappointed we couldn't get the win, I thought after the red card we could push on but it's difficult with so few options up top.

 

I think Sczcesny was probably man of the match, but everyone played very well for us. Yoshida a little shakey at times but capable when it mattered. Gallagher looked very lively in his movement until the miss - he was a step behind Mertesacker after that. Congrats to him on his first start though - here's to many more in the future.

Another games we deserved to win, but didn't would be the gloomy version. Great performance, though and I'd rather have academy lads out there playing like that than expensive prima donnas to be honest.

Shaw was superb going forward, but both Arsenal goals were scored from sloppy defending down the left - not that it was Luke there at that time.

I'm sat here angry that once again we didn't win a game in which we were so dominant, and then I have to remind myself they are the league leaders.

 

Frustrating because on the balance of play Arsenal didn't really deserve a draw, although you can't really argue about the quality of their second goal. But missed chances and a couple of defensive lapses have, just as in the Sunderland game, cost us two points.

 

Some good performances out there tonight. Shaw was excellent, as was Lallana. Morgan bossed the middle of the park and Cork was everywhere. Steven Davis may not be the most gifted player but he has proved time and time again he will never let us down and put in a poor shift.

 

Have to say I was impressed with Gallagher. Playing against the best (statistically) team in the PL and he didn't look out of place at all. Gave us another attacking dimension that we often lack due to Lambert's immobility. Shame he couldn't convert that decent chance but I won't hold it against him as the spin on the ball from the deflection off Lallana (?) made it very difficult to hit cleanly.

I can't believe some posts on here . For those knocking yoshida . Who would you put in then ?

 

Lovern is injured . And now J ROd is getting grief . Oh the wisdom of the forum experts

 

Yoshida is better then Jos other than that we don't have anyone.

 

Did you watch the game? It is plain to see that J-Rod is better out wide and cutting in than playing the lone role,he is a fantastic player but just doesn't do the lone role well

Agree with most so far. Definitely 2 points dropped - Arsenal scored one very good goal and one goal we should have prevented and we should have punished them more up front.

 

Gallagher was very good and offered something we've been missing in a fast striker. I really do like Chambers too, especially today - but I think the one thing he needs to improve on is not going that one step/man too far and looking for the right pass earlier.

 

Morgan was MoTM for me - immense, everywhere, bossed the midfield.

Fonte, Lallana, Shaw all excellent too, in fact, harsh to really call out anyone as poor tonight. Great match - really enjoyed it, but didn't think I'd be that frustrated that we could have beaten Arsenal (fairly easily) at home!

Echo that - a very impressive debut.
