Not sure we're on the same level as Liverpool. They're genuine title challengers and we're scrapping for top 4. We need to add a few key players in the team.
As Tiddles said, we need a defensive leader at the back. That must be priority if we're spending cash this transfer window.

I think what we showed today was that we are a different side this year.
We showed we can be a difficult team to face. People have been writing us off and dismissing our recent good results.
People will rethink now and see we have more grit and twits like Paul Merson will need to stop judging us as if we are still in last season.
Having said that we need to work on our individual errors

They had other good chances. They're a better side than Arsenal, definitely, but not as good as they thought they were. We have a lot to do to get back to being title contenders.

They had the better chances especially in the first half but that doesnt mean they were better.
They werent. We saw that we can keep it up with them. Over a long season though we need the whole squad healthy.

GT the draw was the right result but Liverpool have a better squad than Arsenal.

He's not saying they were better GT. We were the better team, but still gave up a few too many chances. Leno made a mistake, but mustafis role in that goal annoyed me.
If we can upgrade on Mustafi, well be in business at the back. Add a LB and a winger, and we'll really be cooking on gas.

That is what I am saying. Obviously not finding the right words.
We can keep up with them but we need that bit extra and more consistency at our back over a whole season.

yeah think as well the draw is the right result in the end.
