Absolutely fantastic.
Well organised, resilient and created all the chances.
Jolly well done to Mr Hodgson, his coaching staff and all the players.

Agreed. Good to see us defending the way we should. We stifled their attacking players and gave their defence a few scary moments.

McArthur was excellent and as was Luka - his best game for a while imo (and did it without silly fouls).

I have to agree with Apple that we messed up some great attacking moves with sloppy passing in the final third, but overall pleased with the point (which I predicted, although I thought it would b 1-1).

It should boost our confidence for the Etihad on Sunday where we could carry on our good run in Manchester.

Really pleased with that and enjoyed watching.

Good performance by all 11 starters. Subs didn't really have long enough to make an impression.

Afterwards on sky there was a programme about Bergkamp I had on in the background. Arsenal have fallen a long way. Their starting 11 wasn't great, it's no wonder they are where they are. They are an example of what happens when accountants lead a business. Poorly run over a decade, their who identity is fading. Just a shiny company in an dull office block thats no longer new.

It was, a point away from home against a bottom half team. A good point. You could tell they were nervous of us on the break and didn't want to get caught out. They are in form, I think both teams would have taken a point before the game. Please don't get carried away.

We finally seemed to see some guts in our defending. Standing up to attacks again and again. Something we'd be missing for a long time. With the back 8 players all doing their bit at times.

Benteke had another decent performance. I noticed Wilf seems to drift away from him when out of possession like he's switched off. Not sure if he can keep constantly alert like a natural goal scorer, but he's doing great this year so won't be too harsh.

Mildly looking forward to City. Hasn't happened in a while.

A good point obviously but a shame we couldnt nick it. Arse succeeded in winding up Wilf and you know hes not going to be at his best once he starts waving his arms up and down and moaning to the ref. Luckily Andros stepped in to stop him reacting to yet another nasty foul.
On the plus side at least it might put off potential suitors.

In the spirit of finding something to complain about, I thought Townsend was awful. He looks like a bench player to me.

The more annoyed I got by him, the more I started focusing on watching him, and the worse he looks. Couldn't pass, lost every ball he contested, gave the ball away often. He was a one trick pony with speed on the wing, but he's even lost that. He can't outrun anyone now.

I'd like see anyone else on that side.
