    Wait for them to make a mistake and hit them on the counter. But we'll have to be clinical.

    As much as I want us to win. I'd take a point now which guarantees us 3rd and automatic CL qualification.

    Fernandino should have gone for that.

    Bit frustrating.

    We missed Ozil. I thought Ramsey was poor today as were our centrebacks.

    But a draw at the Etihad (in a game City had to win) isn't a bad result.

    Also was good to see us battle to come back twice at the Etihad. Defending was poor, but good team spirit and we showed more battle than we have in recent weeks.

    Commentators kept saying that we needed only a point in this game to guarantee champions league football. Did I miss something? If we lose at home to villa and United and city win we would come 5th, no?

    I'm worried about the Villa game. It will be typical Arsenal to go and mess that up.

    Sanchez, Sanchez, Sanchez... I lovethe guy. He's been great for us but he needs to be tamed. Something worries me about him. I like his enthusiasm to want to play all the time. I feel he needs a stronger manager to decide when and how he plays. He overdoes things (doing those turns when a direct forward run would keep us breaking forward) and it is frustrating. He's a bit of a turnover machine. I feel like he's having it all (maybe not all but most) his way with Wenger. Could just be me.

    It depends because when he's at his best all those tricks and turns work out for him.

    I think holding Sanchez back (tactically) would be a problem for us because he's the one guy we have who can win us a game on his own.
