To be fair we should be wining this.

Blatant Pen not given
Giroud missing 2 very very good chances
One off the line by.Rojo from Ramsey.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
one was a good chance from Giroud the other not so

It's still a rat race!

I'll take the draw after the first 60mins of the game

Beat Sunderland at home and we secure third

I'll take that. Just as I predicted. Good result.

If Giroud was clinical we'd have won at the end

2 blatant pens in 2 games not given

Much better performance in 2nd half. happy with a point.

Have to say, despite everything Koscielny has been solid today, he hasn't put a foot wrong
----------------------------------------------------------------------
rarely does. top defender
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hes a good defender without doubt but was a fault for Swanseas goal and wasa not aware of what was happening around him for Man Us
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Gomis was on Monreal. How the feck was it Kos's fault except for getting caught under the cross, which happens all the time because of the spin on the ball or any slight deflection.

Started to play well once the team has an actual shape. Good subs from the manager, horrendous first eleven. Let the experiment end with that .

Anyway that result only came due to having a wide man and Ramsey in the middle. If Wenger continues to play this crappy system, can say goodbye to FA cup

still annoyed that we lost against Swansea, if we played this team against Chelsea and Sweasea it would be a diffent story

On Wednesday we will see a changed team. Bookmark this.

unlucky

ramsey on the right does not work

We are not unhappy mate. We keep distance to them which is important.

Kos was covering Gomis but ran forward and left him so Monreal had to run forward to try to get to him. If you had watched th pundits discuss the game after it finished you would have seen them prove this and all agree. It was Henry who pointed it out.

In the last 15 we looked so fluid. If we are to challenge for big trophies next season, Ramsey needs to be in the middle. Same with Wilshere

With the rumours Santi could be leaving at the end of the season I wonder if he's lost his drive. Should always be Ramsey here anyway as the last 20 mins today proved again.

well silly me i was just at the game didn't need the help 4 replays to see that gomis was unchallenged when monreal was standing one yard away.

I gave second half to wenger and the players to prove themselves and they came out with flying colours. No one can complain about second half performance. Fantastic result which guarantees third more or less. 1-1 was what I predicted

The league table is about right and we are still behind chelsea and city but we are ahead of United and the rest.

I thought our defense played well, let down by a midfield pulled out of position easily. Kos was a boss really and our offside trap was almost perfection.

Unless we are playing the weaker teams, having Santi at the base is a disaster.

Wenger pulling him off is a good sign. I want us to keep him but I think we need to rotate him and Jack and choose his games carefully.

Giroud did ok, but Sancheź was poor. The individualism in his game is a problem when he comes against top defenders who can easily negate his cut inside move.

the way i saw it was united physically harrassed you in the first half so you couldnt play and launched crosses at every opportunity. deservedly up 1-0

they ran out of energy in the second and you were able to play again and should have scored more than you did

Even Adrian Clarke in his breakdown said that the most fault on this goal was on Bellerin and Kos.

Can't agree with you J99 re the Gomis goal

Still Bellerin and Kos at fault for me

It's the fullbacks (Bellerin's) job to block the cross coming in.

Then it's the CBs job to win the air against the oppo's target man taking into the account the usual height difference between the TM and your own fullback.

It's just not the fullbacks MO to compete against oppo's target men.

There are times when they (fullbacks) should step in and cover/clear aerial balls.
But this particular Swansea attack was a straightforward cross and a straightforward aerial duel which Montreal had no chance of winning, and which, in the first place, should have been contested by Kos who got caught sleeping while Gomis ghosted in behind him.
