    Poor? That's way harsh. We were clearly better the the first half and have forced their keeper into a few quality saves. Our finishing has been poor but we haven't played as bad as many as some will overreact like.

    Koscielny probably hurt again.

    The more things change...

    In any event, we are around the spot in the league table we should be at given the strength of the team (and based on the opponents faced). Par for the course thus far.

    It's all relative

    That lineup was bang average compared to the competition (i.e Spurs and Pool)

    Check that. Wilsheare has to sit down again because we need to bring Holding on to replace Kos who apparently was rushed too soon.

    WHAT A MESS!!!

    So it's easier to put in Holding rather than a formation change? FFS we have 5 defenders out there now.

    We were up 1-0 and the other team hadn’t had a shot on target.

    This whole half and has seemed to me like we were playing to preserve a one goal lead, then to preserve a draw. Pathetic.

    Actually, we are one place higher than I expected (didn't notice a draw would put us above Chelsea), so a decent first 8 games.

    At least this puts paid to the idea that the team has been doing well lately

    That was on Ozil . What a awful give away . Ball lands on your feet and you give it away uncontested leading to the goal. Tired of this lazyass putting on the shirt .

    This team is a god damn DISGRACE. Lead by a clown who is laughing at all of us.

    Yeah - nothing to do with Arsenal not being able to dominate midfield against Watford

    LOL!

    I feel like Arsenal need to copyright the "take the lead, give up a questionable equalizer, and lose 2-1 late" script.

    Again, this is as much about the manager as it was the players. Average side and laughable to think this team could afford to not play Ozil, Ramsey and Sanchez (even if tired).
