Got to feel sorry for Everton - Terry's equaliser was apparently a yard offside yet was allowed to stand.

Well over eight minutes in to Severn minutes injury time too. With City's result today it's essential to get something tomorrow.

It was an abvious offside but the officials didn't call it.

Ozil misses the game with a 'slight foot injury'.

Will be surprised if we get the win we need tbh. Stoke are no pushovers especially at home.

It'll be another very tough game I have no doubt and teams seem to raise their game against us, Liverpool today hinting at that. This match will be a real test of our credentials and mentality after throwing away the points on Wednesday. Hopefully we can win ugly if that's what it takes.

we have a bad record at Stoke and without Ozil creating chances, I'm worried that will just continue.

Yeah, plus our players have no balls. The fact that their fans give us hell, you'd think it might spur them on. I'd love to see us completely smash them.

We've not got any subs who could make a difference. Up to the starting 11 it is...

this hasn't started well. Giving the ball away. What's happened to Ox? Never thought he was that good but he's regressed this season. Edit: apologise after that shot!

Why can't we thump them? Their fans would make me more determined if I played for Arsenal. Classless

This has always been my least favourite fixture. A dire first half.

We're missing quality. Without Özil's measures passing, and Sanchez's direct style we're average. Players like Giroud and Walcott need his delivery, Ox and Campbell are clearly not going to win you games, decent squad players, not more.

No subs to change the game either...

Could have had a few pens, cech's been fine, should/could have been behind.

Not that I want to jinx it, but I think we're playing ok at the moment, albeit a bit toothless up front.

why do we keep giving the ball away? Cost us against Liverpool too. We look so average. Right now, I'd take a point.

We have the talented individuals but lack a decent playmaker.

Cech is brilliant. Wenger went on the other day about how vital a great keeper is, which was quite amusing....

we hardly ever score from them. Amazed that this isn't more prioritised as when teams make it hard for us like Stoke today, would be a good source of goals

can't help but wonder if Wenger rested Ozil. Suppose we'll see if he does return v quickly or not.
Still top on g.d thanks to Petr Cech.

We looked lightweight and short of depth in the squad again. Nothing on the bench and too many first teamers missing.

Really wished we hadn't made the Chelsea game so vital but that's the case now. With Aguero back, Man City look frightening.
