Annoys me the players didn't look up for it at all.

Compared to previous seasons against arsenal we used to run them all over.

Do you know how soft we are at the moment?

Ozil played.

Ozil was not tough enough to play against Bournemouth, but played against us.

They conceded after he came on and some of their fans are already pointing out they dropped the points with him on the field.

Kane says a point was the least we deserved. Hopefully when they watch this back it will become apparent that is simply not the case.

Agree with Harry. Can’t believe the negative posts on here. We played poorly our last two games but fought Arsenal all the way and deserved to win IMO.

Why was Christian playing today?

The point is he wasn't

I'm a big Eriksen fan but the lad just ain't playing.

Always thought he was using us a stepping stone, I think the comment he made once about Spurs being the perfect club for him was veiled indication.

I thought he did really well in there apart from 1 poor pass.

I thought he done well without the ball, but as soon as he got on it he looked lost and got caught on it too many times.

Absolutely, it's actually very worrying. I mean I don't know what else to say, there seems to be so many glaringly obvious changes that need to be made. And sometimes you just wonder how Pochettino watches such poor performances for so long without doing anything. We finally ditch the 3 at the back admittedly too late, but when we do we put Rose at CM. So strange.

It was a good result in the end and we're quite lucky. But again, just like against Chelsea, the opposition didn't actually play that great. If we were ourselves, and had Son, Eriksen and Kane playing as they should, we should have won both games.

Yeah, it's certainly a pattern.

I can't remember the last game we haven't had to change shape.

That says a lot in and of itself.

Gotta remember he's still a young manager, but, as you say, these issues are obvious.

It’s going to be a very uncomfortable watch for me until the end of the season unless we start to show substantial improvement in our play.

There’s just not enough fire in the belly for most of the players. If Dier & dele had played today, I bet there would have been more tasty tackles.

Bollocks. We've could have got Tielemans on loan for example - that would have been better than Rose in CM. Torreira didn't cost that much. Doucoure cost 10m etc. We spent 25m on Moura last year so we could have bought some kind of CM that's better that what we currently have.

The window we bought Lucas (Jan 2018?) wasn't the window we needed a new CM. Yes Wanyama had gone down with a serious knee injury at the start of that season, but players tend to recover from injuries - you don't buy new players to cover for injured ones.

Last summer we tried to buy Grealish to bolster our options i.e. we were looking to replace Mousa once we had reached the conclusion he was done.

What's Tielemans done to show he's better than Winks, Sissoko or Dier?

Rose ended up in CM because Dier and Winks are both injured and Poch, not for the first time, made the weird decision to put him there (Jan would have been fine there for 15 mins).

We got 1 point this season, played shit both times, we were miles ahead of them a couple if years ago,plenty of reasons for us to be pissed off

When was this?
We're 4 points above a team with much greater resources than us, and you think you're in the right to be pissed off?
Weirdly entitled fan base we have nowadays.

Eriksen needs to step it up. Not sure what is going on his head, if it’s transfer/contract related it’s unforgivable. Save that shit to the end of the season.

He has to be the one to make way for Dele as soon as he's back

Damaged limitations. Given the 2 losses and the injuries a decent result.

I wonder why Moura has suddenly become the sub that Poch doesn't want to use. At least he is genuinely quick and a bit unpredictable. I would have brought him on for Son at HT as clearly it wasn't Son's day

It was a physical game with a bent ref. He would have been pushed around today IMO.

Poor display. No urgency, no confidence on the ball, far too much possession given away from mistakes. Frustrating because we still dominate in large spells, but we continue to shoot ourselves in the foot.

We've hopefully steadied ourselves a bit with that draw, another defeat and we'd be on the slippery slope. But collectively we need, as a squad, to get our heads straight, focus and start believing in ourselves again.

It's hard to dominate possession when the opposition has the better midfielders.

We shot ourselves in the foot in the transfer window/Windows.

Now whoever was to blame for that arrogance is likely to pay big time.

Dennism · Mar 2, 2019

It worries me that Poch put Rose as the defensive midfielder. He was totally unsuited to it and constantly gave the ball away. I was also concerned at what looked like a lack of passion, especially in the case of Eriksen. However, the previous games had sapped our confidence and it was good to see us fight our way back and hopefully our confidence will now return. I think Lloris and Trippier deserve credit for their performances after their mistakes at Chelsea. However, our standout performer was the superb Moussa Sissoko. He just gets better and better. The TV coverage has just finished and confirms Arsenal are the biggest whiners on the planet.

Not something I want to agree with but I'd be a lier if I said it hasn't crossed my mind.

Still better than Lamela this season for us, he has pace to break the lines and a nice long range shot, honestly I can't understand why Lamela is the first option when he is playing really bad.

Subjective.

Lucas has 8 goals in all comps no assists
Lamela 6 goals 4 assists

So not sure how that makes him better this season. The boss obviously doesn't agree either

He's just too 1 dimensional

Can't see Madrid or Barca busting a gut to bring him to Spain based on recent no shows

He has been with us for nearly 6 seasons to be fair. That's not really a 'stepping stone' scenario
