2-2 FT
Good game for the neutral that, very entertaining.

Rooney never looked like scoring there.

Not a result that helps either team, especially with Everton winning.

After first half I think you would have taken the draw
I have to agree with DM(shhh...) we need our full backs replaced. Gibbs out and we only have Santos as cover...
Sagna just isnt the player he used to be. I would prefer Jenkinson in for an extended period.
Could have been worse...

Carrick is just hopeless under pressure.
yep, best LB in the country by a mile
How Agger misjudged the flight of that ball so bad I'll never know. How those scrappy balls got in through our midfield and defence to walcott was embaressing. No idea how there wasn't a pen. for the double handball.
Henderson was great, Wisdom was great considering downing didn't do **** to help him. Reina and Carragher were also pretty good. Suarez was okay, some nice passes, wasted a chance at the end on the edge of the box.
Everyone else average as hell, Johnson with one of his worst defensive performances I can remember, especially that one he fell asleep and let Walcott header it.

I'm pretty sure he thinks in slow motion.

Brilliant!
The decision to play Suarez on the left was a risk and within 10 minutes it was clear that it wasn't working. The decision to not switch him and Henderson after 10 minutes was brave, the decision to not change it at half time was naive and to not change it at 2-0 was ****ing stupid. Every attack Arsenal had bar the Giroud chance at the end (where Podolski was offside) came down our left or as a direct consequence of Suarez being on the left.
I'd have probably taken a point before the game, especially with Spurs drawing but to have only got a point after being 2-0 up and for it to have been down to such a easily identifiable tactical problem is beyond frustrating.
Oh and we should have had a pen; Vermaelen controls the ball with his left hand and then punched it away with his right.

Pretty much, we had chances to win the game...can't believe Giroud missed that chance.
But dropping points is not going to help us especially with Everton winning tonight and Spurs drawing.
Still don't think we will get a top 4 finish this season tbh.
