    What is it with us scoring and then trying to concede straight away.

    Granit Xhaka is absolutely terrible. Such a poor footballer.

    For a man who, for a professional footballer, has absolutely nothing to his game but passing... his passing is complete dogshit.

    You lot are so like Tottenham from 2010-2015 at times.
    You can be great to watch, then in the same game completely dire, score plenty but concede plenty.
    You just can not close some games out.
    You were leading Liverpool, Burley and Chelsea all in 2nd half but won none of them.

    Phew .. what a game <ok>

    Draw was about right in the end. Point is a bit disappointing after we played so well, but credit to Chelsea too who played well.

    Really good game.

    Was a good game.

    Nice to see Sanchez putting a real shift in again. Actually thought Lacazette and Ozil were excellent.

    Wilshere was good.

    Defence was AWFUL - mind you. We are crying out for a proper defensive midfielder.

    Think it is more like Keegan's Newcastle myself.

    Entertaining game, chances at both ends, both teams going at it, deplorable defending, stunning misses, great goals...

    The game had it all and my heart was beating like crazy! <laugh>

    I'm still trying to calm myself down...

    Good game for the neutral - that seems to be our theme this season - United, Liverpool, Chelsea all at home...

    However, I think we should have won that, and am very disappointed we did not.

    We have a massive rebuilding job to do with this side - and Im not talking about just Ozil and Sanchez leaving.

    Hope Wilshere signs his contract soon; I was delighted he got a goal today as he really has deserved it since coming into the side.

    I think we may have lost out on top 4 with these last 2 results unfortunately...

    If there was points given out for shooting yourself in the foot we'd be top of the league.

    "Arsenal have won just two of their last eight Premier League matches, taking just 11 points from a possible 24"

    I'm ****ing happy we didn't lose to Chelsea, but on a serious note now, this statistic is extremely concerning. We are drawing far too many matches and aren't winning enough. If we don't make some sort of changes to our defence and midfield, we don't have a hope in hell of progressing up the table.

    In the grand scheme of things, a draw does us no favors whatsoever.

    By the way, defensively, we are one of the worst teams in the division. The amount of faulty passes, poor communication, poor positional play, naive tackles and basic defensive knowledge lacking was incredible. Chelsea may have been guilty of some of this too, but we see this far too often at Arsenal.

    We need to go on a winning run now. Can't afford anymore draws or losses for a long while now.
