Three very welcome points, especially away from home and so far South. Well done to the Dale fans who made the journey. Seems that taking off Andy Tutte may have altered the balance of play but we survived long enough to take what we deserved.

Onwards and upwards............

I could only listen on the radio and that was bad enough. I did not expect a win and would have been happy with 2 zip but we were all over the place. We do not have a squad that can be set up as a defensive unit.

2 oggys, FFS what in the name of all that's holy were they thinking? I wasn't expecting miracles this early on, but hells teeth, there's only one place we'll be going if this carries on.

Have been there and i must say that it was not only a defensive embarrassment.......you cannot expect that 4 defensive players can correct all the mistakes of a lot of their colleagues. Arsenal had total control of midfield; all our midfielders made stupid passes and other mistakes (individual actions where they should not do that). Even our forwards where not in good shape. Take Puncheon for example.........
Remind the fact that football is teamwork, nothing else.

Great atmosphere and very enjoyable game.
Disappointed that Mackie got the nod before Adel, Junior or Djib
guess MH set up not loose rather than go for it.
Granero and Faulin are going to be immense.
Onward and upwards.

Vacant midfield, poor shape, comedy defending and Arsenal were really good.... Ramirez looked the real deal as did Yoshida and they must both be thinking WTF have I come to......... still on the bright side.....

Brilliant performance by one and all.

Cesar far more confident than Green. In fact the whole team was oozing with confidence. Granero was supurb again.

Let us not underestimate the value of this point against the European champions. We could have won today 11 on 11 unlike last years 11 vs 9.

This was the best performance for a long time.

Shame about the 3 injuries but every week we will just get better and better.

Really think we have a great chance of winning at Spurs next Sat.

Desperately disappointing. Where was all the hustling and harrying? We stood back and let them build every time they got possession. Fox gave everyone a free go down the right wing(as usual) but the defence were poor everywhere. Lallana barely got involved in the first half and Lambert got nothing except hopeful punts at him. Puncheon wanted too long on the ball but he was industrious, even if he wasn't sure what to do with it. Yoshida looked nervous but better as time went on and Ramirez looks class. Clyne made some great tackles but was caught out of position a few times. Davis's positioning for the free-kick wasn't great - it was an easy goal and he could have spread himself a bit better for the third but apart from that he was okay. James W-P looked a bit out of his depth. All in all it was men against boys and the men gave the boys a bit of a spanking.
My first visit to the Emirates and it's a terrific stadium, shame the home supporters in it are so utterly boring. It reminded me of the days when Highbury got an overhaul and they had a season with a big picture of fans behind one of the goals. Except the picture made more noise.
Horrible day but we can only get better.... can't we?
