    This team will change when Ramsey is back

    Although im very disheartened at the minute i totally agree with this, If we can get 9 points, ramsey could fire us all the way.

    We're only 1 point off the top, so it's not a total disaster really. The big games have been a disappointment for me cause we look so average. But hopefully we can continue on beating teams we should beat then hopefully add in one or two big wins. I'm not that downhearted by tonight.

    Thanks for totally ignoring everything I wrote.
    Imagine that, we have done rubbish against the other teams at the top.
    We must be ten points off the lead. Oh right, we are one ****ing point off the lead.
    How is this possible?


    It is possible because we caught the other teams on the hop earlier in the season. Chelsea and Man City seems to have gotten their act together lately. Hand on heart do you think we will win the league?
    Next year it will only get harder.

    Totally disappointed with that.
    We were set up by Wenger not to lose against a poor team. No ambition.
    Big failure from Wenger.
    Only two men in the box for most of our crosses.
    Not good enough.
    Very angry now. Missed a great chance.
    Loads of shots from ridiculous areas disguise a poor game plan.
    Although only a point behind we are only playing for top 4.

    Dreadful game

    But a point of first at this stage I will take that all day long.

    Beat Pool the weekend and things look really good. Form is temp class permanent

    The sack wenger and we can get back to killing jugglers


    So where did I say we should sack the manager. Is the manger exempt from criticism and any such criticism amounts to calls to sack him. Yeahhh, lets not discuss a thing then, all is good and Arsenal will win it all...

    1 point off top, clean sheet (important after Liverpool), next 3 games = Sunderland, Swansea, Stoke ....

    ...and the lot of you are acting like someone robbed your gaf while the match was on.

    Calm down!

    Chelsea have got Everton and 2 London derbies up next, Fulham and Spurs.

    And having lived in London there's no love lost with chelsea and fulham local rivals, always a tough game.

    I don't think we will win it but since City started their mini slump a few weeks ago and with their backlog building I am actually more confident then I was a couple of weeks ago.

    Chelsea hung on for a point last night at west brom. City haven't scored in two games.
    We arent the only ones struggling and have now got two tough fixtures out of the way

    Really missing players on the flanks to get in behind teams. We're easily pressed by teams now (Liverpool match naturally sticks out) because we've no one to make runs in behind. Reminded me of the Nasri - Hleb - Cesc tippy tappy ****e around the box and from side to side there tonight.

    Disheartening. Really feel we need to beat Liverpool on Sunday now.

    That was a big game tonight and we failed miserably.

    Really wanted to win this beforehand but not as upset right now as I thought I would be with dropping more points. It's disappointing we couldn't really show a cutting edge and take the opportunity to go top again, but at the end of the day we're still only a point off the top and I'm confident we can pick up points in the next few games.

    This game once again highlighted how much we're crying out for pacey runners up top. Really missing Walcott.

    I also thought Ozil was very very good tonight.

    But can you see our performances improving drastically?

    Just sense a few frustrating draws are too come.

    Well we created very little, moment of the match was the Sycez save. Absolute top class!

    A bit disappointed, arsenal really needed the win. A draw was probably fair if not a little flattering.

    Was tailor made for him to come on.

    I was disgusted to see us passing it around the back during injury time there rather than going for a winner.

    +1,

    It just sums up our week, Instead of feckin putting the ball in the box we're passing to each other...

    Both managers waved the white flag before the game. Cowardly.

    The only definite from tonight is United are not going to finish in the top 4. If they want CL they will have to win it. They may not even make the Europa.

    Heres hoping Ramsay is back for the Tottenham game in mid March!

    We should still put away the smaller teams at least, the frustrating style of play has been par the course for nearly 2 months now and we've drawn very few games.

    From our point of view there is just no excuse. They were there for the taking. Just not good enough imo.

    Players were tentative too. A shame but understandable all the same

    Giroud is a confidence player.

    With all the confidence in the world he's still not going to as effective as a pacy striker in that Arsenal setup who can turn with his back to goal or run in behind strikers. Coming from a United fan btw

    When our confidence was high, now we look lost and minus Theo and Ramsey.

    No way.

    Some Arsenal fans really underestimate how much a success is needed, FA Cup is huge and really winnable this year
