A little bit more experience and we would've beaten both Arsenal and Man Utd away from home this season. Yet another encouraging sign from this young team. I said I'd take a point before the game and even though I'm a little disappointed considering how well we played, I'll take that. The future is looking bright.

Should of won but I'm still pretty upbeat. It was overall a very good performance and shows that Poch is the right man. :)

Anyone complaining or unhappy with that performance needs shooting.

Apologies to Mo Po, I wasn't sure at all at the start of this season but my god I can't remember a Spurs team willing to fight to the death for one and other.

Hard to pick a MOTM but special mention to Lamela, walker, Alli and Dier.

That last 20 proves how important Lamela is to our TEAM.

Very true and Son needs to learn to switch on defensively and not amble about.

When we signed him there was talk from Germany that he didn't relish the physical battle. Could be his Achilles heel

Exactly, it sucks we didn't win but lets not overlook the fact we went away, and Arsenal are no Mickey mouse outfit, and looked like legit contenders.
11 games unbeaten too.

Yep, They are supposedly title contenders, where as we are still a work in progress. You'd never have told, just by watching that.

We should have won, a point sounds good if people have no clue about how we played but we should have won.
If we want to win things, if we want champions league. we need to keep focus for the whole match and not concede.

Walker absolutely ate everyone for breakfast. Until that one moment...Sad for him, but he's playing well at the moment.

Absolutely. But being deflated at drawing to the scum at their ground is a sign that we really are on the right track.

Totally-especially when we played 3 games in 6 days with relatively little rotation.

Very positive overall

Utterly dominant, Arsenal are just a Bolton/Stoke clone -all they had were crosses and set pieces to one of Kevin Davies or Robert Huth, and they played for them all game long. so much for being the bastions of football they have spent the last decade ramming down everyone's throats. Their diving and exaggerating fouls is embarrassing, almost as embarrassing as Giroud thinking he's some sort of tough guy and no where near as embarrassing and cringeworthy as their fans

Gotta score again at 1-0 if you want to see it out at the Emirates.

Great performance for 75 minutes and obviously there are massively encouraging signs for the future. Hopefully beat West Ham and even if Chelsea have regained form, a performance like ours today is going to give them a hell of a game regardless. We're a young side and need to improve our game management, hopefully we keep this side together and should improve massively over the next few years.

I'm happy, the most important thing was not only to not lose momentum by more importantly not lose lo to them. Could have been even better but good point

Should not be down. Our team is improving all the time. As they say, lucky Arsenal. Very proud.

Really enjoyed that and a great performance! Disappointed with just a point but would have taken that before.

Happy with a point, bit disappointed that we couldn't see it out but the team threw everything at it but had nothing left towards the end. I felt Poch should probably have been braver with the subs, to me there were obvious signs in the centre of the park that we had players who were tiring (we weren't really denying them space and they were able to get away from the marker) and we needed fresher legs despite the performance up to that point. Also we have to work on preventing crosses in to the box and then how we deal with those that are coming in. Quite a few goals this season due to this and we aren't defending them well.

Encouraged that we are starting to do the 'basics' well and we have the whole team contributing. The first 45 was very impressive in terms of our work without the ball.

I'd have given him MoM if he hadn't lost gibbs so easily.

Keep making me eat shit, kyle, I'll happily gobble away if you keep this up.
