Brentford 1-1 Arsenal - the fans' verdict

[BBC]

We asked for your thoughts after Thursday's Premier League game between Brentford and Arsenal.

Here are some of your comments:

Brentford fans

Dan: Another great performance. We had the better chances, Andrews took on Arteta head on. In my opinion he won the battle. We had the better chances, we wanted it more, we defended as a team and attacked as a team. We now attack the big six rather than sit back. We're on our way to Europe.

Matt: A real battle, and yet more evidence that the "bus stop in Hounslow" is an established Premier League outfit. Bursting with pride for the Bees tonight. Went toe-to-toe with one of the best teams in the world right now and almost came away with a win. COYB.

Chuck: Brentford played some excellent football and thoroughly deserved a point. Every player gave their all, but special mention to Rico Henry who was outstanding.

Sam: What a spirited Brentford performance! A great run of fixtures to come now too. If we can keep hold of Michael Kayode in the summer it will be a miracle!

Arsenal fans

Steven: A good point for Arsenal in a game that could have gone either way. The nay sayers will once again claim they have bottled it, and write them off. If they beat Wolves next week, they will suddenly be favourites to win everything, including Wimbledon and the Grand National. Basically, Arsenal are still 4 points clear at the top. Both Arsenal and City will drop points in some of their remaining games. We are still in the best position to go on and win the league.

Neil: Advantage Man City. I have heard so many times that our squad is so strong. It's strong on paper but not on the pitch. We just don't look like champions on the field and again lack urgency. How many shots on target? Poor again!

Ned: Two points dropped from a real lack of creativity in the middle of the pitch. Eze looks passive and lost, while Odegaard is still playing catch up from injuries. Slot Trossard in the number 10 role and Martinelli on the left then the league is ours. COYG!

Dazla: I think Gykores has his merits but it's not holding the ball up. He gave possession away so many times after we scored. Havertz was a big loss tonight in that area. Arsenal need to adapt their play as the release ball to the front player doesn't work.
