Scrappy game which you could argue we could have won or lost so a draw was probably fair and both keepers did well when they were called upon. How on earth Luiz didn't get booked for persistent fouling was an absolute mystery as well.
 
Douglas Luiz got away with murder today, incredibly not even booked. DCL seriously needs to work on his one on one's.
He’ll never be good at 1v1s, some players just have it and others don’t

Different story in the air, I accept that that’s his strength, but when you’re the starting number 9 of a team who desperately needs wins, you have to put away every sitter that comes your way no matter if it’s on the ground or in the air
 

I'm absolutely beating a very dead horse at this point - but if you add an actual baller to this team who can operate in tight spaces in the middle of the park it transforms this team. A big part of our problem is that we too often resort to just going too direct and its pure percentage stuff.
The Arteta's of this world are few and far between. We were blessed to have him for as long as we did.
 
Really impressive to keep a clean sheet against that team. But we really are all or nothing when we win the ball back. It can be devastating when it's going, but incredibly frustrating when it's not. Just wish we could pass a ball every now and again.
