    Lord have mercy... we are truly abysmal. Hard to believe we've been top for the majority of the season thus far. Not one bloody shot on goal. Atrocious. And we are the home team.

    Very limp first half performance, our players seem to think its a training game.

    I fear for us if chelsea take the lead in this game

    This needs some Poldi. Start banging it from 30 yards, with the wind, we could have some joy.

    Well that was a bit ****.

    Too slow moving the ball out of defence, too many gaps in midfield when we haven't got the ball. Bit unlucky with the penalty decision, that could easily have been a spot kick. But we could also be losing this game without too many complaints.

    Need to step it up in the second half.

    Lovely strike by Ozil to keep that down.

    Both teams have had chances, think it could be won by a counter attack.

    We're a glorified mid-table side. Actually, that's not fair, because mid table sides can beat the big teams, we can't.

    Ramsey has been woeful this half. Really need him to improve in the second half otherwise we should swap him for Flamini and push Arteta further forward.

    Agreed, think both Podolski and Cazorla could have some fortune with long range shots in the second half.

    Bit OTT we have lead the league for the majority of the season.. If the result stays as it is we will be second only by GD.

    Ramsey looks to be struggling to control the ball in this weather, might be worth swapping him out.

    Neville and Carragher in agreement, saying we should have had a penalty.

    How did Arteta's leg not break from that Mikel challenge?

    Ramsey and Rosicky have both been poor. Rosicky works hard but every one of his through balls has hit chelsea players

    Penalty all day long. Obvious decision for me, how did none of the officials see it?

    Chelsea will be more satisfied with a draw at the Emirates than us.
