Still Unbeaten in 11 PL games.....

I am happy we are where we are today, sitting 5th with only one league defeat (which we should have won) this season & playing good football with a very young team

My views on todays game are quite straightforward, whilst we dominated far a very large part of the game, and should have got at least another couple of goals.

However Arsenal although on the back foot most of the game showed how dangerous they can be & on another day Giroud might have had two or three goals.

So in all honesty I think a draw was a good result all round.

Our failing is that we are not allowed to walk the dog because we just cannot hang on to a lead, can we?

However it is a young team & this is a very steep learning curve they are on, so one should not be too hard on them.

Considering how many players they had out & the 5-1 walloping on Wednesday evening in Munich, I thought Arsenal showed a bit of character & grit in the second half in battling their way back in to contention & I thought they were going to nick it as well!

A great game of football did justice to the NLD!

Just a few individuals to mention: Young Alli is going to be a top class player and I think we should be really happy we have him.

Lamela worked hard & caused a few problems for Arsenal, it was a wise decision hooking him though. He now misses the West Ham game but that should mean Son slots straight back in.

Dembele is looking immense & Walker also had one of his best games this season.

Harry worked his socks off (as did the whole team) well deserved his goal.

At one point Arsenal were like a punch drunk boxer & if it had been a boxing match the towel might well have been thrown in. However you have to give them great credit in clawing their way back into the game & some of Ozil's crosses were sublime

Apart from the incident with Rose, when Campbell was lucky neither the lino or the ref spotted his arm flailing back to strike Rose's face, I think Campbell looks a very promising player indeed.

Our aim should be now to push on and try and cement a top 4 place, which if we can do it would be brilliant.

Arsenal will of course be disappointed they missed the chance to go top, but once they get their full team back they will once again be a more formidable team.
