I actually agree with you 100%

Wish we'd show up like this when we play with the "lesser" teams as well.

Can't disagree with this, he cost us 2 points. It's that f**king simple. 2nd goal was a joke.

Never rated him and never will, he needs to be our 2nd string keeper not 1st.

Still can't believe some on here keep defending this drongo.

On a positive note, Emre Can played his absolute socks off and is really starting to make a difference in our midfield. He is getting better every game.

It is easy to say, oh yeah before they kicked off i would have taken a draw, BUT.... we should have won that

If it were not for a poor "defensive unit" including Ming - we would have won the game, end of

WE GO AGAIN! 

Thought 3 players put in a solid 93 minutes performance, Toure, Clyne and Hendo the rest were like a roller coaster from brilliant to suspcialy drunk and confused..All gave their heart but little kept their composure...Wished we would go for it on the final minutes but overall great result.

My God, I don't want to sound like Stu, God bless his soul, but most of you lads have obviously never played the game, never mind stand between the posts yourselves. Even at the most amateur levels it's commonly accepted that you can't let the ball pass like that at the near post. WHAT exactly was Mignolet supposed to do there? The ball was played LOW and at the NEAR POST, how is that, by any logic, a goalies ball?

Agree with the goal analysis but let's face it Migs is a terrible box keeper he has no control over high balls no communication with his CBs and the bottom line doesn't lead the defence.

Least we kept going and considering injuries it was a decent point despite leading twice.

Still a basket case at centre back and goalie in my opinion but it was difficult against a good Arsenal side.

Moreno played very well but noted his annoying habit of faking injury rather than chasing back again which needs knocking in the head.

Obviously not the best goalie in the world, he has his faults, but I stand by what I said, only after we improve our defence we can talk about replacing the goalie, though I think that when that happens a change won't be needed anymore.

Mignolet isnt agressive enough and you cant change that in a man.

Hoddle made a very good point in commentary that he should be pushing opponents out the way on dead balls and commanding his ground but he allows people to bully him and then any half decent delivery hes floundering.

Anyway hes getting a 5 year deal like it or not so will either continue in goal or the contract is to protect his market value.

I think overall, this is a Jeckyll performance (as opposed to a Hyde one). It's encouraging how we piled the pressure on Arsenal during the final 15 minutes or so and got the equalizer. However, will we go on and improve from here? The team is decimated by injuries. Drawing with Arsenal is not a bad result but if we go on and not win against lesser teams then that's bad.

Good perfomances by:

1. Firmino
2. Henderson
3. Moreno
4. Can
5. Clyne
6. Pirlo
7. Benteke
8. Sakho (considering half injured)
9. Toure (considering not match fit)

Bad performance by:
1. Mignolet

Average performance by:
1. Lallana

Full press conference from after the Arsenal match

Ask ANY keeper, they HATE getting beat at the near post.  That absolute BAFOON cost us 3 points today.

It happens time and time and time again with him,  He's no where near good enough for the Premier League.

A point is fair enough given the situation and poor goal keeping.

Good to see Firminho finally do something worth cheering. Hope its not just one off performance.

Lots of work to do before the window closes though!
