Two points dropped, Morata couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo at present. Lots of chances missed but in all fairness they caused us problems too. Still we should have won, what Willian is thinking about when he's buggering around near the corner kick to pass it out to Kante under pressure , clear the bloody ball we're in the last minute man and set yourself up defensively for the next phase of attacking. It though was a good match to watch and fair play to both teams and the referee for letting the game flow.

Only saw the game from when Arsenal scored to go 1-0 up. From what I saw we looked ok, dropped abit deep after the goal and again in the last few minutes. Had Morata taken the chance I’ve seen and the others I haven’t we would have been ok whether people thought the team performance was good or bad. When you are at the top it’s good to win playing bad, we just didn’t quite see out the injury time and still had the chance to win it.

Only thing I would blame Conte on was how deep he got us playing at the end was just asking for trouble, if Morata had taken his easy chances it wouldn't have even mattered. It's like watching Andy Carroll at the moment terrific in the air can't shoot for sh*t.

FFS! Last minute goal. We should have seen that through. Morata man! How many chances did he have? He really needs to execute his finishing because everything else of his is quality. His movement was first class, link up play with Hazard, top class. Just needs to sort out the damn finishing. He will get it with time but I am still positive he is going to turn out to be a an excellent striker once he sorts that out because the amount of havoc his movement causes is brilliant.

Kante was brilliant. Bakayoko was poor first half but second half really thought he improved. Courtois was top class. Christensen was solid at the back again. So annoying because we should not have allowed them to get back in that game. A point suits us more than them but it is just the fact the minute they scored that goal is hard to take.

Before any Arsenal fans calls Hazard a diver, look at f**kin Jack Wilshere. He should have been sent off. Although I think Hazard made the most of it, I just hope the FA don't ban him for 2 games because imo he dived to win that. There was the slightest of contacts that may work in his favour.

Anyway brilliant game. Just annoying about the last goal conceded as now top 4 is still going to be hard work. A win for us, it would have been hard to look past us slipping out of top 4. We can't afford to drop any more points now.

All I can think of is how are we going to keep Barca out? And the reality is we aren't and if we do and try and score on the counter Torres 2.0 isn't even Torres 2.0 when it comes to 1 on 1's, say what you want about Costa he was bloody good

Morata is on a bad run. Conte needs to sort him out, get his composure in front of goal sorted.

Gutted we allowed them to equalise. Nothing worse than losing a lead in injury time. 

We have seen this with Torres. We were repeating "give him time to improve" mantra countless times. Morata is not gifted, he is an OK player, even a great player for Swansea or West Brom.  Somebody in the club should admit a mistake and pass him on for the club's and his own sake to a simpler and less demanding outfit.

We didnt need to be that good to win tonight, Arsenal are not a strong team defensively. Morata missed several relatively straightforward chances, if he could only have found the net with one of them. tut.

He was urging them to push out. Players weren't responding... all starts from when they begin timewasting

Batshuayi HAS to start the next match. It isn't like he'll offer less than Morata in front of goal and if the ball does fall to him at least he'll finish it.

Morata's general play has been good, that's why he was in a position to score in the first place. It's better if someone just grabs him and shouts just f**king hit the ball

The result is fair but it's criminal to have fluffed so many clear chances. Very frustrating. Oh well, at least the neutrals will have enjoyed it.

Feel a bit bad for Morata, he has so much ability but appears to have developed some kind of mental block when one-on-one with the keeper. If I was Conte I'd be booking him in for a visit with a shrink. Calls to sell him are premature and really f**king stupid, IMO.

My Nan is better with her feet than Morata, might have been better in the air back in the day as well but she’s only 5”4 now!

Can she get to Norwich on Saturday evening?
