Drawing them is not that bad. But it was disappointing to draw the game to the kind of goal we conceded. Now we can concentrate on PL till Feb and we have a lot of winnable games. It does not really matter how we perform as long as we win the games and stay in touch with the leaders. The performance against big teams are partially due a lack of confidence in this team due to not winning any major trophies or matches. The good thing is we are hanging in there. If we can slowly start turning this around then it will be good. Also, we do have a lot more options in this team which should help us maintain a reasonable consistency. The only result since the beginning of Sep which was a setback was drawing with Boro. Those 2 points are what separates us from City and Pool.

To add to the above comment, PSG are a top 8 team in the CL. They are below the top 4 of both Madrids,Barca and Bayern. We are a level below them and it will take a couple of more years of spending before we can reach that level. For all the criticism of Wenger, do not forget how badly guys like LVG and Poch screwed up getting out of CL groups. This year if we don t get Barca, i think we can reach QF. Any other team and we have a chance.

Arsenal didn't play great but a bit too much is made of PSG's performance. In the first half, for all the possession PSG only produced that one chance which was the goal. Both teams were poor in that 1st half. Arsenal produced its own moment of quality at the very end of the half to tie it. In the 2nd half we woke up and even though there weren't many shots on goal we were putting pressure on them which finally led to a goal. A lucky goal for sure but a deserved one. After getting the lead we went into a defensive shell and PSG tried to equalize. This is where Coq/Ramsey MF showed its limitation as we weren't much of a threat on the counter. In the end Iwobi and Jenks combined for a mistake leading to the equalizer.

At this point we threw caution to the wind and understandably Cavani found space to run in behind, comedy ensued

PSG didn't dominate and the game was an even battle between 2 good sides. It was disappointing because we were at home but at the same time, knowing we have another gear that we never used in this game means there is still hope for the season.

They aren't as good as we made them look and their finishing is poor.

They are simply a much better team than us and we are lucky to have tied both games.

Was infuriated by PSG's 2nd goal.

Essentially a free header.

Furthermore it was a weak header, which Ospina would have handled easily had Iwobi not redirected it.

It's always these little things which end up breaking our back.

This is like the 4th time Jenks has jumped backward and missed in two games , it's just lazy.

What about the points for opposing team

I was responding to those saying "we've not lost any game" this November. Our points average in November is 1.59/game. So far in the PL, we are on 1/game so it's not an improvement. If we had lost to United and beaten Tottenham (or other way round), we'd have 3points - an average of 1.5/game much closer to our November average
