You drew to a team that have become known to be very hard to beat. Don't over-react.

Beat United next and you're back in business.

Winger Matt Phillips punished a horrendous error by midfielder

If we are flat track bullies then we will at most drop another 15 points. That meansd we will finish on 90 points.

Especially in this league, being flat track bullies is NOT a bad thing

'Over-react' what nonsense. Happens every season. Tell me I'm over reacting when we finally win the title again.

Arsenal's PL results against the "big" teams this season.

Lost to Liverpool 4-3 at home
Drew to Leicester 0-0 (who are terrible without Kante)
Beat Chelsea 3-0 at home
Drew to Spurs 1-1 at home

The Emirates needs to be a fortress and it just isn't.
Chelsea aside our performances in these games have been fcking awful.

OP you are reacting like a five year old. Grow a pair.... Grow up

With regards to our results.... If you take away the points gained from the lucky last minute wins against Southampton and Burney you can see how average we really have been.

How can you call us flat track bullies. We struggled against borough, burnley and Swansea

Pool and City also didn't beat Spurs.

If you took away all our goals we would be fighting relegation.

But why would you do that??

Last season we beat Man City, Man Utd, Leicester twice. Beat Chelsea this season.
Pretty sure we were top of the "Top 5 mini league" bullcrap they show on Sky when it suits.

Three or so weeks ago when we beat Chelsea, people were not only saying that Chelsea were no longer in the title race but they would not make the top four. Others were tipping us for the league. Three weeks on and Chelsea are second in the league and playing some of the best football in the league. OP if you didn't learn anything from last season when Leicester won the league you should have learnt that this is a marathon and not a sprint. So we dropped points today but so did Man City and we are only two points off top. It is hardly crisis.

We say the same 'bull' every season. Don't over react, wait till the end of the season. The same old rubbish happens from February onwards. I sense a similar pattern this year. We actually have some very hard away fixtures second half of the season.

I would love to be proved wrong. But I highly doubt anything will be different this year

The season is won in May, not November.

Leicester have been getting spanked away from home not at home

We only got United away next lol

As soon as i saw Spurs lineup and formation i knew we could be in trouble. They looked to strong for us in midfield playing rose and walker more advance and 3 at the back.

IMO the trouble with Arsenal is when we are not on our game and fluent movement is key to that and the little Cazorla magician, players like ozil, iwobi, walcott become ineffective. Its like playing with 8 men.

We still dont have a power house midfielder to utilize in a game like this and this formation is not going to work when we come against strong sides with quality as Spurs are.

Unfortunately United will adopt a simillar approach of being very physical with us.

Zlatan is banned for them so probably see rashford op front

We were sloppy in possession, didn't capitalise on opportunities (Iwobi alone mad wrong choice after wrong choice and missed a sitter) and as a result Spurs dictated the game not us. Playing well, the same team rips them a new one in the first 15 mins leaving Walker and Rose pinned in their own half. Bellerin and Monreal don't keep leaving the CBs high and dry, we control the game, player passes stick so we can play with width and Ozil hits the target.

The OP is a bit extreme but I can see why. I'm none too happy either. This was the players YET AGAIN failing to capitalise on rivals dropping points. We do it all the time. Sunday/Mon kick off, rivals drop points drop points on Sat and regardless of form running up to the game, we fail to take 3 points. In this case it's cost us top of the table too. Can't win titles if you can't capitalise more often than not when your rivals drop points. And we drop this type of point almost all the time.

Wow what an overreaction. For goodness sake we played a decent, organised side and didn't win. Big deal. Even Barca don't win every week. We are on a great run so give the team a bit of leeway when it doesn't go according to plan

If a draw makes you lot this angry then can I suggest that you all take up another hobby. Like synchronised master-debating or something?

I'm not as doom and gloom as the OP...quite. I am however concerned about the pattern of us failing to capitalise when our nearest rivals drop points the day before. Especially when the said drop points go against the run of form. Everything leading up to the game said we should win it. Spurs out of sorts, losing Smelly Ally right before the match and only able to field a 75% Kane.

VS

In form, almost flying Arsenal with only Cazorla out.

If it had been a full strength, in form Spurs that caused us to drop points then that would be different. But it wasn't, in all likelihood we'll play a far stronger Spurs team at WHL. This should have been 3 points and top of the table. We didn't draw yesterday because Spurs played so well the stopped us making the chances. We drew because we never buried the chances we made.

This is a worry because it's the norm more than it is the freak blip. Our players consistently fail to prey on any weakness in the other titles challengers. They need to sort it out because this is something that ALL champions HAVE to do.
