This game is certainly painful to watch as I find that Man C played with greater enthusiasm and determination than Arsenal. Maybe it is because Toure and Adebayor both have a point to prove to their old club.
Whatever it is, Adebayor played very well to deny Arsenal a goal thru his goal lin clearance as well as scored a trademark header. During the spell when Arsenal equalised thru a RVP goal, they played well and almost scored on a few occasion. I still feel that we missed Arshavin & Walcott to create chances which our strikers so solely missed. On the plus point, we saw Rosicky playing a EPL game after 18 months of layoff and he even scored one.
On the downside, Almuni looked extremely ordinary in this game. The last 2 goals were the result of Arsenal sending all their players to the opposite end and Man C catching us on the break with their pacy players like Shaun Wright Phillips.
Overall I feel that we deserve to lose this match compared to the loss to Man U 2 weeks ago.
To lose to both Manchester clubs in 2 weeks is a hard pill to swallow.
Lets hope we put things right during Wed's game against Standard Liege in the Champs League.
O, btw, Eduardo's 2 match ban was overturned upon appeal by Arsenal.
After all the talk by the English players on diving by foreign players, we see Rooney doing a dive against Slovia. What hypocrites.
