First half, probably best we've played for a while.

Second half, struggled, but were hanging on, then f**king Sanchez with his weekly gift of a pass, he's been lucky up till now, wasn't going to last forever. At least we didn't lose it in the end. I was expecting a 97th minute Havertz winner

First men’s game I’ve watched in a while. Thought we’d finally turned corner but turns out we’re still sh*t.

when you just think we have turned a f**king corner

great minds think alike

Heads up lads we were the better team against a team that were the best in the league until this weekend ….. it is a far cry from where we were a few weeks ago ! 
 

a couple of monumental f**k ups, iron them out we are the best in the league 

Rubbish subs, took off our best players 😂

Yes. We threw it away. Literally. But soooooooooo many positives to take from that.

A full strength Arsenal side, and we were miles better than them with half a team.

Exactly this

Hello darkness.. had to happen after Sanchez howler. I don’t like to say unforgivable, but he has had sooooo many warnings this might happen. Luck’s run out and the team pays the price. Gutted.

I'm livid with Sanchez. How stupid you could be doing this every single game. I wouldn't care if this was one off,  but this sh*t is every game from him. We totally bossed Arse and made them fully inferrior for the most of the game. They were pretty much done until idiot Sanchez pulls them back in.He costs the team a win.  

A better performance than most, and a few good individual performances, but still many serious problems.

A penalty and a fluke. Our lack of goal threat is shocking. Jackson is terrible. It was like going down to 10 men.

And that keeper… I lost count of how many times I’ve said I have serious doubts about him. I no longer have doubts. He’s garbage.

We still need to spend on a proper keeper and a proper centre forward.

And Enzo needs to get his head together.

But at least we weren’t utter crap and we didn’t lose, so it’s progress I suppose.

Would have taken a draw before hand but considering the circumstances this is sickening and a massive blow of confidence going into the next difficult fixtures

I hope not Dan. I think the players should take a lot of confidence from the general performance. Sanchez mistake was a momentum changer. A minute before that we had just played a lovely passge of football. 

We look well coached and have some fine players.

Wanted so badly for us to beat this lot especially being 2-0 up. This is so infuriating but boehly has bought a bunch of second rate and mentally fragile players who collapse at the first hint of players. Just miss the times we used to outclass le arse comfortably. We're just not that good anymore.

Goalkeepers have been sh*te so far this season. I dream for the days when we can go back to having confident goalkeepers that aren't panicking from corners and can claim a set piece. Everybody is asking for the ball playing goalkeepers, but the ball playing goalkeepers are the ones making the most basic errors.

A point I guess but overall we were the better team, especially in the first half, at 2-0 we had a couple of good chances to kill the game off and then a howler from Sanchez turned the tide.   However, it showed we can play with the best and hopefully will give the lads a lot of confidence going forward.   Though Potch should have made some changes at HT, Silva was lagging and the forward line wanted freshening up.  Fair play to Gusto and CC who did an admirable job as stand ins.   The pundits of course will give plaudits to Arsenal for coming back from 2-0 down and not the way we dominated Arsenal for most of the game until Rice's goal...oh well lessoned learned.

Gifted it as well. Arsenal called it a night before Sanchez did that. 
 

No words really. Not sure what Poch is going to say to him. 
 

 

Probably not too much until he finds another keeper... then two words which won't be come here !
