He can kick the ball alright but his final ball/shot is usually crap

A noob error from a senior player no less.

I've seen him do stuff which makes me think "fuck i'd be afraid of facing that". Doesn't mean he will amount to fuck all but I can see why his price his high. Plus its way too early to tell.
Of course I hope you're right and he's a massive flop

Other than the first 40 mins of the second half, I thought we were much better.
We clearly are not settled and it shows on the pitch and I bet once Lo Celso, Dier, Foyth and Ndombele are all back we won't be as run over as we were in that period.
That's why it was a good result all things considered.

Only Watford and Brighton have less points than us in 2019 apparently.

Under usual circumstances I would be extremely disappointed with ending a draw after being 2-0 up, but in the context of the whole game and the fact that we only had that two goal lead for 5 minutes, and we were battered for most of that second half, I'm pleased to come out with a draw.
I will say that the RB experiment of Sanchez must end here, it was similar and as ill fitting as Son at LB in the FA Cup semi final defeat to Chelsea. The only difference between the two experiments was that we paid a very heavy price for it against Chelsea, we essentially got away with it today, but that was through more luck than judgement and the fact that Arsenal weren't clinical and clever enough in exposing it and taking full advantage.
On other points, it's a mystery how Xhaka managed to escape a yellow card until the last 5 minutes when the ref was dishing out yellow cards against our players like they were going out of fashion. We saw two sides to Kane, clinical with the penalty and extremely unlucky not to score in the second half with the shot that hit the inside of the post, but I don't like to see diving whoever it is and whoever it is against. If that had been Aubameyang at the other end diving we'd be fuming about it.
To end on positives, we've been away to City and Arsenal and not lost, our counter attacking breaks in both games we looked really dangerous and effective, and I know it's early days but GLC looked good today in his little cameo appearance, and we have Ndombele to come back.

No. Who is saying that? They battled to keep it at 2-2 when Arsenal were on top.
I have no idea what you are basing this on. Dier, foyth were 2nd string last year. We are tactically incohesive. We are slow going forward and disjointed at the back with no real middle to speak of. It's scary to watch us. There is no team out there I would say we are 100% sure to beat. I thought that last week and look what happened.

There were multiple "reports" and widespread speculation that Poch had lost the dressin room.
Didn't see any evidence of that myself today. Think we are still struggling with confidence and team defensive structure but I thought the players left everything on the pitch today. Proud of the team despite the negatives.

His numbers in France suggest he has more than just pace and hard work to his game. May not be a £70 mill player, but I think he’s already improved them, and will only get better.

11 pens in France in a weak league, absolutely no career to speak of before last season, unable to crack the National team in the AfCon, and very pedestrian performances so far in the PL - if I were Arsenal I’d rather have Ramsey all day long.
Absolute last position they needed to strengthen and the staggered fee is enormous.
