Didn't see that. Fair enough then Trossard simply too short

Whole Brighton team should be carded for diving. They are a disgraceful bunch. Despise them.

so any little touch by them is a foul according to you all, but partey hitting him in the face isn't a foul?

😆 yeah Partey clattered him

Would take this point. Considering how many chances they missed, very very lucky for us to escape with a draw.

Moving on to the next match.

Qwiss

That's as lucky a point as we'll get this season.

flobaba

Thank goodness that’s over. Phew

BWooley

Another disgraceful performance engineered by Arteta.

Lol I thought exactly the same. It was a clear foul tbf.

Don Pacifico

Poor from us. Didn't set up with a productive game plan but also hampered by our midfield being pretty useless for the majority of the game, meaning there was non-existent transition play.

KingslandBarge

decent point, shite tactics, delayed subs and som absolute stinkers across the xi

GooneriC

All that good work last week undone by a very poor performance. Tactically we were run over , and waited too long to make the changes.
Auba was so poor.

naz

Dreadful game, can't believe we didn't win it given who we came up against

flobaba

Credit to Arteta, we only looked slightly less clueless in the second half.

Meatwad

go from looking at brighton's injury list and the team they put out and expecting a win to being lucky to escape with a draw. arteta's arsenal.

Coombs

Win at home and don't lose away is a good enough way to move forward.

Gazza M

we should happy with a point today. some awful performances from auba and odegaard held us back

lokonga and tomi got killed in the first half, but I thought they bounced back reasonably well in the second. really, really wish we'd stumped up the money for that centre mid. it's clear we're exposed in there, might even have to exhume elneny for away games like this. those afcon weeks are looming more ominously with each passing week.

If Arteta don't deliver, Potter must surely be one of the prime name under consideration.

Can't imagine what he can do with Saka ESR Pepe Odegaard. His 352 is properly attacking and he has transformed some of these average joes into totally new position and elevated their level. Amazing performance from them.

By the way, clean sheet again!

BWooley

Need to start Pepe over Odegaard for the next game. I thought Lokonga grew into the game a little in the second half. I'd be ok to either give him an extended run or switch him out for AMN as a starter and give the latter a run of games. Tomiyasu was troubled all game, including right at the end where he let that ball bounce, but hopefully that's a one-off. Tierney was quite concerning though. Gabriel and White were decent all game - they couldn't have done much to be honest.
