Shame we couldn't win, draw was a fair result.
Wenger should have made a substitute earlier, I assume half our team are still unfit. Ramsey was clearly unfit.
Wilshere has been our best player so far this season, today he was immense.
Ozil is better in the middle.
Welbeck played well against the best centre back in the league, maybe the world.
A fit Gibbs is welcome.
Debuchy best game for club, hope he's not seriously injured.
Szes made some vital saves, unlucky with their equaliser.
Sanchez still hasn't hit his stride, he needs to run in behind a bit more, what a finish though, that quality is what you need in these big games.
We're not quite clicking at the moment, but this stage of the season, it's just important to build week after week, we'll be in the mix around Xmas, hopefully we'll peak at the right moment this season.
Disappointed not to win

Just said on a different thread, I think both teams will be disappointed, but also happy if a point was offered at the start of the game.
I enjoyed that, good game. For City, we haven't quite clicked yet and missed yaya a bit. For you guys, I do think you might rue not buying a defensive midfielder and your left side seemed a bit weak defensively to me.

Monreal is a bit of a liability because we don't protect our full backs and he's quite slow. A fit Gibbs is key to a good defense for us. Shame he's always injured for the big games!!!
You guys at times gave our midfield too much respect, we're weak at the moment through the middle, I suppose yaya would have changed that.

We were clearly the better team. City fluked their 2 goals

At the end we couldnt complain not to lose this one. We were absolute without power and energy in the end. Losing Debuchy is the biggest regret I have.

Yup we haven't meshed properly yet either so it was a good point for both teams. Maybe a netter point for you though since you were playing away.
Lack of quality DM is a real concern given Ramsey is occupying more advanced positions than last season. As for lack of fit defenders
