Brentford at home on weds, they only have 1 away win all season and 5 defeats.
Should be a great chance to take 3 points at least. Need to watch out for that Thiago cunt though.

The draw is a good result given how poor we were. We just have to take the point and move on. Chelsea were the better team in the game. No shame in saying that.
Will take the point but ultimately I think thatâs two points dropped for us especially playing against 10 for so long
I was very impressed by Chelsea who really didnât look like they were a man down after playing in midweek, it was a very good performance without their engine in midfield for most of the game
We had the players out there to do much more than we managed, Arteta made the requisite subs I felt

Iâm disappointed we didnât win today. I just think in the bigger picture it wonât be a disaster.

Opportunity lost after the red but Iâll take the point given how much more energy they had and being without both Gabriel and Saliba. We very easily could have lost this.

City losing last week effectively gave us a free hit for this.

In previous years weâd have lost playing like that, so on that basis we can be somewhat relieved we got the point, but the standards set on us as runners up for three years just doesnât afford us any room to drop points. Itâs exhausting.

Tbh itâs easy enough to play the way they did following the card. Mostly just counter attacks and sit in a low block.

exactly. CB pairing out, weâre away to an in-form top 4 team and all our strikers have been out for a bit, itâs not a bad result on paper at all, the red card makes it feel worse than it is imo

Law of averages says we werenât going to have another great weekend.
Not sure what Artetaâs tactics were but you canât blame him when we have so many players out.

Yups, and if weâre looking at points gained over 2 weekends, then weâre still +1 up on City after both weekendsâ results.

Surely, that will be the âtoughestâ 3 fixtures in a week this season. Team did not have the normal energy levels today. Disappointing performance, but the point isnât terrible.
Sometimes other people succinctly sum up exactly how you feel before you have the chance to.

They were the better team prior to the red too

The Gunners are unbeaten at Stamford Bridge in their last seven visits, meaning Mikel Arteta has never tasted defeat at Chelseaâs home ground as manager of Arsenal (W3 D4).

A weird one to analyze because this was a massive opportunity to win with them going down to 10, but once we went 1-0 down a draw became massive regardless of the context. It wouldâve been huge to win it but weâve avoided the nightmare scenario and I think weâre in decent shape coming out of this.

Canât really pick a harder game in the league to go in without Saliba and Gabriel tbh. Their absence was definitely felt today.

Perhaps. Then again, I was responding to what you specifically said in the previous post which is entirely different.
