AFTV think they were the better team and were unlucky.

Hmm, I think they probably edged second half but don't think either team deserved a win tbh.

I'll take that. Not the greatest return from those last testing 4 matches (5pts from 12) but all the performances ranged from decent to very good.

Pretty happy at the moment. Onwards & upwards.

Yeah - they probably were slightly ahead on a points decision, but a draw was a fair result overall. Arsenal probably created more chances. I nearly shat my pants at the end there, but overall it was just tense and boring

Next five in the league are big:

a) Leicester
h) Aston Villa
a) Southampton
a) Tottenham
h) Brentford

If we can win 4 of those I'd feel very confident.

Happy to be in the top 4 right now. Arsenal probably a bit disappointed to be where they are.

Gotta be happy with that...some Great performances from Neto cucu and Ceicedo...

Sanchez though...fack

Mudryk pointless too

Caicedo is just so consistently good. Every game - incredible player. Hope Lavia isn’t injured though

The one I'm most worried about is Brentford

Player ratings

Sanchez 1/10
Gusto 8/10
Colwill 4/10
Fofana 3/10
Cucurella 7/10
Caicedo 8/10
Lavia 3/10
Palmer 6/10
Neto 8/10
Madueke 2/10
Jackson 2/10

We move on but I just think this could be a lot further ahead of where they are. The players we have compared to last year is a joke (Neto, James, Colwill, fofana, Lavia, nkunku, and more) and we’re still looking the same

We are miles ahead of where we have been

We're 3rd, how much further ahead do you think we should be?

I think we're progressing fine given the inexperienced nature of the squad and the manager.

You said this last time then I come back with a lot of points and you went. I’m interested to hear how so? We had the most injuries in Europe last year. We have a full team this year and still have no control, look weak at the back and haven’t beaten a big team

I think it’s a false position where Newcastle, Villa, spurs, arsenal and Utd have been poor. Given how we now have a full squad I think we should have picked up more points and the points we’ve picked up, we were lucky to get.

I done a comparison recently where we have been outplayed in 6/10 of our games.

Not sure what you are watching/remembering Nick as we far a head of this time last season and improving and become more consistent from the end of last season where we were still pretty poor but became more clinical for 20mins in the game

We look like a team, which already is a massive improvement on last season, and we make subs....often early and the team doesn't go to sheite. Players are looking more comfortable as well

Arsenal had a higher xG today and gusto missed from a yard out so we can make that 7/11 we been the less likely to win

Just don’t agree. As mentioned, out played in 7//11 games despite having a full squad. Basically 11 extra players to last year.

Also knocked out the league cup where we got to the final last year

Think there's definitely space for improvement, but it's much better than banter era under Poch and Potter.

Could be worse, we could be spurs

Also the fact Spurs/Utd/Newcastle etc not been great just shows there's lots of teams in transition.
