Massive point , Shows how rubbish spurs are aswell at the same time , they really should have finished us off sooner

Yupp should have finished you off, but calling Spurs rubbish is a bit out of order. I know it is a bit of banter, but Spurs played really well and were the away team lets not forget.

Spurs look a very good team. Should make top 4 ahead of Chelsea and Liverpool if they can keep it up.

Someone needs to tell our defenders to stop that offside trap ****e as well

Our defending needs to be looked at.
It should be easy to keep a line and have someone shout the odds.
Plus the high line does not suit us when Mert is playing. He was not even in our box when Kane scored, jogging back slowly.
We survive against lesser teams but against good attackers we will be found out.

Yea definitely, when spurs had that free kick early on, dier (i think) basically had a free header, seeing that too often too when we are defending set plays.

Per was useless today at times couldn't even read the flight of the ball
He should be 3rd choice at this stage

I'd worry about the City game if we can't even get the line right.

Apologies it was just a matter of speaking you definitely feiced away 2 points today you played really well and if ya keep it up you'll be well in with a shout of the top 4 as United could go either way and Leicester,West Ham, Palace and them won't last the pace imo, The bayern munich excuse doesn't rub with me as you lot played on monday and thursday and had a ball of energy compared to us

Injuries have played a big factor again for us this season unfortunately but I'm delighted and greatful for a point against you guys at home and that should matter alot more than any other silly comment i made

Delighted now the International break is here (we usually fear them lol) so hopefully we can rambo and co back and no fresh ones from the lads playing for there countries and we have a good run of winnable games right up to the city game at the Emirates

Big games gab have to start, defence got no protection from midfield either because they were been over run

emergingstar · 08-11-2015 08:11PM

Sanchez's form when playing with Giroud is a worry too and will spell the end of Giroud I think

No worries man, is a frustrating game at times as I know only too well. Am happy with the result and a little disappointed Spurs could not get the 3 points, but a point anyday at the Emirates is a good result for me.

Seem to remember Giroud was getting the blame for Ozil's form last season.

Sanchez was poor today. Completely unwarranted to blame it on Giroud.

Really worried about Per. Looks like his judgement has gone.

Not one shot on target in 4 games

I think he needs a runner in CF

Per is having a very bad season looks all at sea

MaxPower89 · 08-11-2015 08:25PM

Would have taken the draw pre-match and at definitely after 70 mins, but we battled well and deserved it in the end, a sneaky winner would have been so sweet but we didnt deserve it.

Key now is getting as many players back as possible and then push on to xmas, would be confident we will lift our level once this happens.

Ozil is the bees knees, what a supreme baller. Our player of the season so far? Bellerin, Monreal, Alexis and Cech a close second for me.

08-11-2015 08:36PM

Pity we couldn't get the win today but in all honesty it could have been a lot lot worse. Spurs worked the hardest throughout tbh. So glad of the point in the end really. 2 wks rest and recuperation and hopefully give our lads some needed recovery.

The fùckin poppy fascists came out in force I see on the guardian prior to the match when they desperately scrambled for YET another stick to beat us with :rolleyes:

Do you think they were being sarcastic? I dunno, it just seems that your a pariah over there if you don't wear a poppy. No issue against people of any nationality wearing them but the bullying that's going on is outrageous

Colonialboy · 08-11-2015 09:19PM

nice battling performance.
An ugly point ... but then every team thats won the PL in recent years did it by picking up their fair share of scrappy ugly points.

something is out of whack at the Emirates, could be tiredness, the injuries, whatever, 2 weeks to sort come if it out and get the fizz back into hte team.

The Guardian are lefties, it most certainly was sarcastic and topical due to corbryns comments today, and only there to compliment the other picture of him attending the game. Anyway the point is it had nothing to do with arsenal.

Was unwell before the game apparently and threw up at half time so was taken off.

Yeah he looked really off and no way a fit Carzola would have been pushed around like that, he should have been left on the bench, hopefully he drop out of the friendlies and gets some rest. I thought Flamini did a good job when he came on.

Ah come off it EFB. If he looked like quasimodo and less like a supermodel you wouldnt be defending him. He was horrid.

I defend Ozil too, I dont have a fetish for ET!!!

Tbh i got it wrong if this is the case because the context of the post appeared to be taking a swipe. I'm unfamiliar with the guardians political stance tbh and never dreamed there was an element of sarcasm

emmetlego · 08-11-2015 10:20PM

I couldn't get over how bad Santi was today, he was miles off. Either injured or sick I'd say, because if that was his interest level in a NLD, there's something seriously wrong with his psyche! Hopefully it's a short illness!!!

Brave call by Wenger to put Flamini on, his energy levels immediately brought us back into the game I felt, and while I was a bit cringey at Gibbs coming on, it was also brave by AW. I would have brought on Arteta personally! I fekt Kos was poor for their goal, but our defence was offered little protection from midfield (Coq aside). Honourable mention to Debuchy, made some great interventions, despite the obvious rustiness, and it's great to see him get someway back to where he was pre-injury!

All in all, happy with the point in the end. Kills me to say that!

efb · 08-11-2015 10:25PM

Mesut Özil is the first player ever to assist goals in six consecutive @premierleague games. #UCL

So we should not play someone who is scoring this season for someone who might scores this season?

Both of those players have 6 league goals this season.

Honestly, this thread wears me out sometimes.

Ol' Donie · 08-11-2015 10:43PM

Missing Rambo, Bellerin & Theo from the first 11, with a less than 100% Kos and a sick Santi.

And we still should have won.

We'll get 3 pts from their gaf if we're all fit.
