Shit result against a poor side, teams above us won’t slip up at home to dross like this!
This result which could have been worse has been coming, you cannot give teams in this league a head start every week and assume you can turn it around!!
Whether it’s players and the manager believing their own press? I don’t know! But it needs to be sorted quickly !!
This was a wengerlike performance today!!
And I’m fucking well pissed off :evil:

You've every right to be extremely pi**ed off! However Wolves made the advantage on us in the 1st Half no doubt about that!
We were slow beyond doubt, but under Wenger we could of been 0-2 or worse by half time.

Give it time, there will be a few more games like this, it will take 2-3 seasons to adapt the culture within the club.

We didn't loose at least! :) :D

We cannot and must not keep doing this - eventually the 'luck' of the last minute goal syndrome will run out.

We came out of the blocks against the victims and it worked, so why not every week ? If we do this against the scum we will get shafted Big Time :cry:

Leno is Different Gravy.

Come on Unai sort the fuckers out, maybe if he dropped all the starlets and played the youngsters they might get the message. :| The scum are 3 points ahead. :banghead:

For those feeling disappointed in today's performance and result and rightly so. Take some time out and watch this, reminisce and enjoy yourself.

A result and 90-minute performance like this has been coming. We can't keep starting every game appallingly and hoping that we ride our luck enough to hold on and then turn up in the second half. The only game where we haven't done that is Liverpool - where we would have been 2 or 3 down had we been that poor in the first half - which indicates that clearly it is largely a mental issue.

Our shape is absolutely not right. Playing Aubameyang on the wing just doesn't work - he is a brilliant goalscorer but a fairly average footballer, so getting him on the ball 40 yards out on the touchline is a waste of time. You also look at our bench and it's massively uninspiring.

We all knew it would be a long project and one unspectacular transfer window was never going to be enough to sort it out, and the positives massively outweigh the negatives at this point for me. That said, Dick needs to sort out this nonsense of not turning up for the first 30-60 minutes. We are lucky to have as many points as we do frankly.

We never got going today, that's why we looked slow and jaded. TBH Wolves were very organised defensively and did everything right for a team playing away from home. If they'd taken their chances we would've lost for sure. I think we were very lucky to get a point today.

Read a stat on the bbc that since making his debut, Xhaka has made 5 mistakes that have directly led to the opposition scoring, that’s more than any other player in the league in that timeframe.

Only surprising thing about that stat is that it’s only 5!

We were shite and the game was a pile of shite :|
3 draws on the bounce in the league and 4 from 5 in all comps.We are still unbeaten but we're stuttering badly,big games after the interlull which for once has come at a good time.

To be fair in that whole time he has had a handful of good games and scored 2-3 goals and had only about 40 games where he has meandered about and watched the game pass him by.

Just back in from the match (long ol' trek back).

Very poor today and I did think it was going to be the end of the unbeaten run. Was something absolutely wrong with Kolasinac today, either he's not fit or just had an absolute minger of a game. He wasn't even trying to get back at some points

Leno got us that draw. Bellerin was alright to be fair. We created absolutely fuck all through the middle, it all went down the flanks (and favoured that left side all first half for some reason).

Anyway, good not to lose going into the international break. Onwards Gooner's.
