Santi misses a pen

Slipped just before hitting it.

So, yet again we bottled it!

Better brace ourselves then for the usual slump around this time.

Only started playing after their second goal. Not defending well enough at set pieces and not having depth in the DM position has cost us.

We never adjust our defensive line if the opposition overload numbers to one side on set pieces. Noticed it in the NLD and it has cost us today.

Arteta is well and truly past it. Everyone seems to know this except Wenger himself.

Nah, its November we struggle. Like you said it just was not our day. I guess not spening on the team has not helped. If Aw wants to win the league, He has to spend in Jan.

Not really bottled it the team was not good enough from the begining. Injuries are costing us. We nearly always struggle in November so it kind of was expected. The internationals did not help.

Why do these injuries keep on happening? Why do the players always look jaded in November? Why didn't Wenger sign a suitable backup to Coq??

It's frustrating as much as it's not worth getting yourself worked up for.

Aguero's back for City, so if he and Silva get to work for Christmas, Arsenal's chances for the title could be well over.

Agree. I can see from the squad where we are and not to get worked up. Today just seemed like it was not our day. Guess its on to the next one.

Immensely frustrating game; we beat ourselves. West Brom did next to nothing the entire game, except waste time. We gifted them two goals defensively. Can't really blame Santi for the penalty, it happens. Of course, people will say Wnger hasn't done enough to bolster us in midfield and up front and Campbell showed today why, though he works hard, he isn't good enough; it's certianly about time someone retired Arteta, who's become a liability in my eyes. Also, ridiculous to have a non playing captain.

Another missed opportunity with Liverpool winning at City 3-1 at half time. No one wants to win these league it seems.

West Brom didn't even play that well to beat us.

Imagine if Leicester end the day on top

City losing 4-1 at home
Just shows defeats like that can happen to every team, and ironically helps us quite a bit. Even though we lost, its eaten into their GD

Thank you Klopp and Liverpool! Defeat like that for City will put them in the spotlight.

Title is up for grabs.

Hugely frustrating! Should have been clear at the top now, losing points at home against Spuds and away to West Brom is not good enough! Injuries have cost us and this should have been nipped in the but by buying in the summer. A couple more quality bodies would have probably meant that we'd have been well clear, possibly even 8/10 points, considering we've lost so many points ( West Ham, Spuds and Lpool at home, to name but three matches).
