I love it when a team time wastes in the first half then doesn’t win a game they should btw - cheating tossers.

Rutter made a difference in the second half. He drives the team forwards. Georginio does the same when he plays.
Solid point. Arsenal weren't great so if on better form we would have taken all 3.
Positives -
Pedro full off energy and threat.
Webster did well being thrown in with some nice passing and interceptions.
Ayari was very good second half.
Negatives -
Estupinan isn't good enough in possession and keeps getting exposed in poor positions.
Not sure we will get much money back on Minteh - too frantic and lacks composure. Hope that can change.

Fabulous performance! Especially as so many youngsters playing.
Beleba brilliant again. Ayari was great! Once Minteh has a season under his legs he's going to be exceptional for us.
I'll take the draw, but I think we were the better team over the whole game. Which against Arsenal is incredible!
Anyone still with their doom glasses on need to step back and look at that performance.
And with each game we start to gel more and more, the new players get more game time etc.
AND we're missing our two big strikers - Wellbeck and Ferguson. Find me another team that can play like that without their target men. Nottingham forest without Chris Wood?!
Annoying not to get the 2nd goal but they will come. Can't wait to get Welbz back we're going to fly.
Buzzing!

Rangers game yesterday ref sleeve sponsors were specsavers!
Not to be overly negative but I’m not seeing what other people did second half. Their keeper barely had a save to make. We fought well and given their quality it’s an excellent point but we were so toothless. One cross shot from Minteh is all I can think of. I still see it as a point gained but something isn’t clicking.

Nah, they're too similar. They'd get in each other's way.
Pervis was the only real negative performance out there for me today. He's been all over the place defensively for a while now.
Hopefully Minteh's decision-making will improve with time. He's got the ability.

Brave performance against the Title challengers. One point gained for us - 2 points dropped by the Gunners.
Good tactical game by FH.
Baleba MOTM
Good game from Van Hecke, Ayari, Rutter and Pedro amongst others. Webster oddly feels like a comfortable pair of slippers - good to have him back.
I get the feeling the first starting eleven is taken shape and has to include Rutter. When Jack is back, I think we will look even stronger. Will still need to still rotate in the youngsters which will compromise our performance - so a very mediocre first half with few chances but a much stronger second half.
Pleased with our performance today and I feel in a much better mood to go and sit in the freezing cold at Carrow Road next week.

"I think we did quite well. We shouldn’t have conceded the first goal. That shouldn’t happen to us, but you can see a lot of character in the boys. We need to be more consistent."
“We have a really young team. The average age of our team is 23. It’s tough sometimes, but our guys fight for everything. Maybe you need a bit more experience to manage the game."
“In some parts we are really good. Consistency is an important thing for us to get back where we need to be.”
(On Arsenal’s opener)
“[Ethan Nwaneri] was totally free on the right, so he was able to come inside. We should have done better as a team.”

It will come.
We were the only team that looked like winning the 2nd half.
Against Arsenal.
Cheer up pal!
Great post, really important not to forget the youth of this team! Superb second half and gives me great optimism for the rest of the season

Maybe we do. An old head this window would make a lot of sense.
These young players are being asked to learn very quickly and not this summer, or next season, but now.
If we can find a face that fits, another senior pro around the first team would be hugely positive for the second half of the season.

“We started the game well. We could have won but got a point. We need to look forward."
“We conceded in the first half but knew we could win this game. We tried to score at the beginning of the second half. We wanted to win.”
On the penalty
“I tried to control the ball and then [Saliba] hit me. It’s good that I scored. I always try to be positive with goals and assists. I like the feeling [of scoring] and hopefully I’ll score more.”
