Arsenal supporter here. Think that was a fair result for the football on display. I think we had the edge in the final 20 or so but not going to whine about the result.
I thought we were hurt massively by Holding and Ramsey's injuries. I know many of you haven't watched us but Holding has been solid in either a back 3 or back 4 and losing him hurt. Lichsteiner, while experienced, is a significant downgrade at either RB or CB.
Losing Ramsey, however, was absolutely massive. Without Xhaka or Ozil, we didn't really have any high quality players on the ball to threaten offensively. I know Mikhi came on and put in a credible performance, but he doesn't have that chaos factor that creates chances out of nothing that Ramsey has.
Not a classic performance from either squad but entertaining at least. I'll take the point away.
