I feel like we should’ve won..... We were 2-0 up, yet again we’re still not organised and lose concentration in the last minutes.....
Poch should’ve reacted much quicker
And we knew we could have a lot of counter attacks so why didn’t Lucas come on?? I’m baffled

Listen Poch is a world class manager but his tactics and decision at the end of first half and in the second half was very poor again

Thank God it’s international break we need it
Hopefully Ndombele, KWP, Dier and Sessegnon comes back from injuries and we go on a convincing winning run COYS

I actually watched the 2nd half with no sound on and enjoyed the game much more. I may continue to do this.

Very disappointed we didn't hold on to the lead but at the beginning of the season I'd have taken a point at Arsenal along with a point at City.

Not happy with that.

We got a draw because our players are better than theirs
They got a draw because they wanted it more than us

Not acceptable for them to be so obviously more motivated than us...in the NLD

Was sick in that second half of seeing them win just about every 50-50...every second ball....constantly forcing us into mistakes through sheer commitment

Once again thankful for the September international break....once again our season starts properly after the break

Kane couldnt be worse. Useless and infuriating. Sissoko has reverted to form and worse than that. Winks was poor. Son was wasteful. Dele made no impact off the bench. FB’s were poor. Beyond lucky to get away with a point
Agree with most of this but Son and Winks - we lost all genuine attacking threat once Son was off.

On the plus side we’ve taken draws at city and arsenal which are two tough games.

I can't go away from that with many positives I'm sorry.

A point at Arsenal ultimately isn't something to be sniffed at but this team (and management) need ALOT of work.
I wonder how long it takes Poch to choose what he wants off a menu.... 60....70 mins

Yea. Draw that feels like a loss; however, a lot more positives than Newcastle game. If only Sissoko could shoot - the ground he covers is phenomenal

Can Son only play 70 minutes? Why does Poch always take him off just when the game is getting perfect for him to run on the counter? Must be something else there.
Can only assume it’s because it’s only his second game after the suspension.

Another observation - Kane needs to realise that refs have re-evaluated the penalty rule. defenders are allowed to do whatever the fuck they want to him if Kane positions himself between them and the ball as his priority.

Needs to make the ball his priority.

He was exhausted. But he almost single handedly dragged the momentum back in our favour in the last ten minutes.

Conversely, he also contrived to blow away our best two chances to win the game in the last ten minutes, with his complete inability to do anything vaguely composed.
