Agree about Moura. Would I be wrong in thinking he's our top scorer this year? I'm guessing but he must be our most prolific scorer at the moment and just isn't getting enough chances.
6. we have gotten our two hardest games of the season out the way. (city away, and due to its nature, the NLD away)

you win one game at the bridge and now we're forgotten about!

Decent article Chronic, and agree more or less with everything. I am in a more upbeat mood this morning, expecting a tonking, and somehow we escaped with a draw. But there are so many problems with the side at the moment, mostly down to the managers inability to pick players in their proper positions and his continual excuses about the transfer deadline disrupting him. Total and utter bollox of course.
Our inability to manage games away at Arsenal is a joke. Since we won there in 2010 we’ve drawn 4 and lost 5, and in six of those nine matches we were leading, twice by a 2-0 scoreline
To not win one of those is really poor.
Neither team will be happy.
As the away team its a better result for us but we blew a 2 goal lead.
They will feel that having battered us in the 2nd half they should have won.
I would have taken a draw before the game but having been 2 up not winning is inexcusable.

Spurs have a pathetic two wins at Arsenal in nearly 30 seasons of the Prem. Woeful record. To be leading in lots of games shows you how weak mentally the players have been.
pretty spot on.
two main positives for me
attacking midfield options of Eriksen, Dele, Lamela, Son, Lucas and Lo Celso looks very strong
we cant play much worse this season and we got 5 points
really hoping some how sessegnon and kwp turn into worldie full backs lol
the aurier signing has turned into one of the poorest transfers for me. has all the attributes to be a great RB but has been handled poorly at the club it seems. no realy way back for him it seems.
Thought it was generally a good performance, bearing in mind most of us ( and the pundits ) had this as a home banker.
Agree RB situation is so typical of the club. Won't be fixed ( if at all ) until January, so we are where we are.
Thought our pressing and quick counter attacking in the first half was much like Spurs of old. More needed and over the full 90 mins. But improvement seen.
Eriksen looked more positive and hope this one now settles down. Still our best creative outlet, although thought Le Celso had some nice touches when coming on. So, again hope for the future.
Agree not where we want to be in the table, but arguably our two hardest away games out of the way, with two points more than last year. Fact is we are not title contenders. Never were this year, but top 4 definitely. Although think there may be at least one new name in there this year. Possibly Leicester ?
Fully agree, I would have taken a point before the start of the match, but 2-0 up with a few minutes to go to halftime? sorry that felt like a loss at the end to me, when was the last time we kept a clean sheet away from home????
How moura couldn't come off the bench idk I suppose poch was happy to take the point at the end.

The sheer panic that lead to Arsenals first goal reminded me of Sunday league parks football.
The lack of professionalism is frightening.

and how many chances did we have to clear the ball? that type of silly goal has happened countless times in the past, we now need to go on a run of wins after the intl break its really no excuses now

Our tactics annoyed me. We allowed them too much of the ball. Second half we were so passive, standing off them and trying to protect a 1 goal lead and catch them on the counter. We are good enough to dominate the ball vs that midfield but basically handed over possession and the initiative by playing on the break so much. We are a decent counter attacking side but it is a feature of our play and we should have looked to control midfield and the game way more
