It shows how far we’ve come, when a short turnaround midweek away draw feels like this.

No Martial again tonight.
Another waste of space.

We were never in the title race. I will be happy if next year were in the champions league. New owner and maybe a league cup in the cabinet. Then we can start to really compete again without the gimps in charge We were though. Still are. |

If we're within 6 points of arsenal by the time we play Barcelona, fucking throw those games. No. |

Beat them Sunday and the gap will be 5 points having played a game more. City have to play them twice, they win both of them and we'll be a point ahead having only played a game more.
It certainly isn't over by a long shot. Just depends how badly they want it.

You’ll struggle to see a better challenge. He’s playing well. Undroppable right now? That’s a debate for you all! If anyone honestly thinks Wan-Bissaka is suddenly good enough they need their head examining. Bring back Dalot ASAP! |

What a disastrous result on all fronts. Cannot believe we’ve not only lost 2 points but also lost casemiro for the more important game.
Utterly pissed off.

No Martial again tonight. Another waste of space. Waste of space? He has been playing injured just so the team had someone upfront. Let’s fully judge him when he is fully fit, I think he will show up better |

Absolutely gutted, but let's not lose hope.
We're still on a fantastic run, and we're competing in four competitions.
Arsenal will drop points, an injury to one or two of their crucial players will happen at some stage and their squad depth is the worst in the top 4.
Playing City twice will be tough, but I reckon they'll drop points against some lesser sides too.
Still around 60 points to play for, and although a title challenge didn't form part of my vocabulary for the season (nor will it determine success this season/not), it's not over.
Also, it's okay to admit AWB has done really well in his last few starts - his defensive abilities were never in doubt, and for the most part people wanted him to offer more going forward. That's where Dalot has left him behind, but as a defender, especially in one on one / last ditch scenarios, AWB is still very, very good.

My brother who saw the whole game agrees with most on here re Weghorst.
Which really makes me wonder what the reasoning is with that signing.

Let’s fully judge him when he is fully fit, I think he will show up better No need to. He’s another who we are waiting forever to become that top player we all hoped and will never be good enough to be part of a top side. file with Maguire,mcsauce,dvb etc. to be moved on in the summer. |

Not convinced with DDG's position for their goal. Gives himself far too much to do to cover his left side,if the ball comes over the wall,which it did. If he gets beaten to his right from there it would have been a worldie to end them all,so why cover more of his right side at from his starting position  ? Should have been more central,it's a real weak point to his game that we have seen before,but one that could so easily be coached into him better. That said he kept us in the game,with two cracking saves. We were far too comfortable in the first 1/2,always looked like we had an extra man, intensity levels were not what ETH would have wanted or expected in the 2nd 1/2 Weghorst deserves some slack,easy to see he was way off the pace & it will take some time for him to adapt. Feels like a defeat,which is progress. |

Let’s fully judge him when he is fully fit, I think he will show up better We've been saying this for years and it still hasn't happened. He just hasn't delivered near enough. Doesn't get half the shit Rashford gets aswell. Needs to hit the exit and upgrade. |

See how he gets on over the next few weeks. Imo I think people are being a bit over critical this quickly. Thought he held the ball up well at times and did a job for us defensively aswell. Just think if we're going to use him best it'll be from the bench as an impact player and need to figure a way he'll be most effective when he does play. |
