    Playing against 10 men is not easy. It's not a guarantee you'll score. As Ralph said, you want a guarantee buy a washing machine. I probably would have taken a point at kick off. I certainly would have taken one after the Arsenal goal and before the red card. We're building a nice little run again after the United game.

    Did you see how many defenders Arteta brought on? and we had chances just never broke our way in the box.

    We were doing all the right things tryung to stretch them. Ralph brought on two pacey wingers.

    Great performance and unlucky

    Still a decent point. Just think that if we're to really take advantage of this crazy season then we need to find a way to win these games.

    Agreed. Once Danny gets back up to speed then we will be even better.

    Breaking down 10 men behind the ball is difficult. Especially without that creative no.10 to pick out a pass or produce some magic - the sort of player who we don't have in the squad.

    But nevertheless, for me this is easily our worst result since the opening day.

    Yep, he’s just not there yet, and it frustrates him (and us) but just a matter of time.

    No point doing things right playing against 10 men when you do it slower than you did playing against 11. How anyone can be happy right now with a draw is beyond me.

    yes but it’s all rosey at the moment still.
    I think we blew that in the last 27 minutes of the first half. We didn’t go for them. I think they’d have crumbled, but I’m not angry, another point closer to safety :)

    And defending in depth is one thing Arteta's Arsenal can do well.

    To the people who are angry/upset/disappointed: Think back to where we were a year ago. Then look at the table now. That should help. :)

    Not even close, shame to blow it but Arsenal have the capability to be dangerous and we could easily have ended up losing that.

    Letting Man U come back was worse imo.

    Keeps the points ticking over.
