In the cold light of dawn.

We have to give credit to Arsenal,because they never gave up ,unfortunately we laid back and helped them in that respect.
We have certain areas that need looking at ,mostly our lack of an attacking mid fielder,and playing 3 defensive m/fs at home to Arsenal, was a mistake.
Our biggest let down was the defense again,we have no commanding c/b(Rudi is still trying to get back from his injury,)and AC is not up to the task.
Please Frank, we need another c/f asap,Tammy is still learning,and Bats (like AC ) is not up to it.
So there it is, we need an infusion,c/b ,am/f and c/f.

An unusual display of resilience from Arsenal, pity it had to be against us. I was sure we'd win that game right up to the point Bellerin scored - 99% of the time they fold in games like yesterday.

Still don't think we need anyone. In a bizarre way I think the clusterf*** nature of the league this year has rose people's expections. If we were 6th-7th right now, which in a normal year we would be, people would be more patient with the current squad/their eyes still on the vision this year. We need to give these young players a full season to evaluate what they need with clarity, then enter the market based on that, not buy a quick tip 4 fix (defeats the point of what we've started under Frank).

I agree, and Frank needs to be careful here. If he spends money on the wrong players in January, then then he becomes exposed to criticism and also to a reduced spending purse in the summer.

I hate that we always look to sign past sell by date strikers, but maybe this time having Cavani to help Tammy's work load makes sense, but on a loan basis.

Otherwise, unless a dream LB becomes available, stay strong and keep the purse closed till summer

Undoubtedly our most gifted and productive attacker.

When you can't beat a 10 man mediocre Arsenal team at home, then you must admit that your team is pretty pathetic!

Pathetic did you say !,I think not,I saw some decent football played by our team last night,although lacking the goals , which we might/should have scored, and give Arsenal credit also,they didn't give up, Arteta must get some credit for that as well.

At home against 10 men and 1-0 up, yes we did fine to hang in there but we're not playing well, we've got major problems and for those of you that don't think you've got major problems all I can say is that you are delusional...

Have to admit though ,N'Golo might need a break,perhaps against Hull? We have some serious games coming up in the next few weeks...........make or break ?

No reason he needs to play that game...& I'd like to see him further back & have/be told to have the Discipline to stay there, thereby giving the likes of Mount & others to get forward & either shoot or put a forward in

We really need to get a better shape at times....too many players ill disciplined in their positioning for me currently,

Had we employed a better double sub on the 30 mins to go mark, & closed up shop we'd have won that Arsenal game

Exactly what I was saying Sheriff,we need more discipline from the team,and more leadership from the senior players.

Frank got his game management wrong also.
