Bringing on Lyanco was fine. Very fine in fact. But you're not going to convince me that bringing off Alcarez for him was a better choice than bringing off Armstrong.
Maybe not, but that change didn't cost us. We got a third goal and Arsenal simply could not break us down. Then he took Lavia off.
 
Crikey, how do you feel after that, deflated, disappoint, proud, what if. Thought the lads were mainly magnificent tonight. A little tired and did not get close enough to Odergaard for the second.

What not have taken even an injured Lavia off. There was three points for the taking. I would have taken him being out for four weeks for three points tonight. Interesting as soon as he goes off we concede two. No coincidence
 
We didn't really deserve a point but I will take it as one I would never have expected, for the life of me I will never understand the substitutions, they were totally baffling.

I honestly have no idea how anyone can be positive after that <laugh>

Utterly worthless result that if anything just further dents their confidence.

Would have been better to not have watched it as I’d initially planned, but no we needed to be two goals up at 85 mins…..

And on top of it we have probably just handed the title to City!
Disgraceful that our team, fighting for its life, can’t hold on to a 2 goal lead for 10m.

Selles lost us the game. No manager in their right mind brings off Lavia and Alcarez. Just ****ing stupid and clueless and says so much about Selles in-game management.

We could have had it but he made the mistakes.

For once I actually appreciate the players effort but the manager lost us the game.

Agree 100%
 
Sums our weird season up

the league leaders not been able to beat us, done the double over Chelsea, drew at Old Trafford, point against spurs, and we are where we are.

It actually makes sense if you think about it. We knew last summer that we needed creative players that would make a difference. We can't break down a stubborn defence to save our lives. Apart from that the team is okay and can compete.
 
Despite how well we played in parts, bottling a 3-1 lead in XT to reduce the gap to a point stings a bit. Even against Arsenal, that feels like a new low for the the fans this season.
Think you’re been too negative. I expected 3-0 defeat so to get a point is better than expected. I was actually impressed with some of our play
