0-0....but some plus points: Top of the table still. Howard's clean sheet. #clap# Lukaku's impact after lacklustre first half. Some concerns: Besic not as effective as when played centrally......and yes, you do miss Coleman, who might have made a difference playing where Besic was. You have a target man, why don't you use him?.....or had McGeady offended someone?

A good result. We never really looked like getting turned over. If that b'stard Lille defender didn't dive at the end Lukaku would have been through and won it for us. I think Martinez went there for a draw and will be happy with the point but they were there for the taking tonight and I don't understand why we do that, especially when we have a fairly winnable set of matches ahead of us in the league. Lacklustre as a spectacle for the fans that travelled, but ok, if it's a good point then so be it. It was like watching Stoke against Hull as far as I'm concerned. Points are for the table but as a fan I want to see us play football and it was sloppy throughout and a boring game. Mo did well and no real bad performers but you knew what we were going to get when the team sheet came out.

Players need to look up. Constantly I looked at the middle of the pitch and we had nobody in it, which is where Arteta was good.

Good result in the end and it's important to use the squad so don't be too harsh on Bob as he has to spread the load. I didn't think much of them as a club and they never really bothered us other than long range efforts so our lads did a good job so happy with that. There will be plenty of time to play a better team but for now it's all about getting ourselves organised and efficient and we'll improve the more we play.
