Cesc really is God!

My views (for anyone who gives a toss):

We didn't play as well as we could, certainly didn't put Liverpool under as much pressure as our possession demanded. But it was still good to watch, very tense. Liverpool looked better than they have done in recent weeks, but before the game I hoped we'd win and feel disappointed we didn't get 3 points. We should have got more shots in. We've been better at that this year, and I know Liverpool parked 7 or 8 players on or near the edge of their penalty box most of the game, making space tight in the attacking third, but we still should have done better.

Carragher definitely lucky not to have the two pens spotted.

Before the Liverpool goal, we should have had a free-kick from a very dangerous position just outside Liverpool's box.

What the fuck was Flamini doing, splitting off from the wall when we were defending the free-kick? Gerrard's shot was fantastic but Flamini should have been there blocking it.

Sagna's was never handball, totally ball-to-hand. So often there are calls for handball when the incident happens in the penalty area that wouldn't have been made in another area of the pitch.

It was borderline but I didn't think Mascarano deserved a red, a yellow was enough. It was two-footed in that he jumped towards the player but it wasn't really dangerous.

Gallas was mediocre, though he improved through the game. He was the only Arsenal player to get into hoofing the ball. You can take the man out of Chelsea but you can't take Chelsea out of the man?

Can't believe Cesc and Bendtner missed their rebounds. But fantastic movement by Cesc for the goal and great shot against the post.

Obviously, Carragher didn't deserve to be man of the match but I'm struggling to think of an Arsenal player whose performance I was really happy with. Hleb was OK but he's done better this season. Sagna and Clichy ditto.

How can the referee be expected to give penalties when he is busy marshalling the Liverpool midfield? He can't be everywhere

For me MOTM probably would have been Cesc although Clichy caught my eye on a number of occations. As for our two part time centre forwards Toure and Gallas...What was that about..? Both kept thundering forward often running beouned the strikers themselves

How Liverpool didn't get us on the counter attack i don't know.
Although i would have taken a point before the match i'm a bit gutted we didn't come away with all three after the perormance that was put in but i suppose Liverpool are still unbeaten aswell and thats what makes them a good side even if there playing well they can get a result.
After the game i think the Liverpool players looked relifed that the game was over the really looked as if they was about to drop...If the game was played for just five more minutes we would more than likely be talking about three points.
Next game Sheffield Utd im looking forward to this...I love seeing our second string playing, get to see Fabianski, Denison, Traoue etc...
Obviously the greater challenge comes against Utd next week but based on a proformance from last night i'm feeling confident about the match.
Oh and one last thing The 'Fat Frank' lover Jamie Redknapp even came out with the words "Arsenal are the real deal" and he looked excited as he said it

He is still a f**king prick though

To me Cesc was head and shoulders above any other player on the pitch.In a head to head with Gerrard there was only one winner.

With better finishing we should have won.Well done to Wenger for taking a gamble with 15 mins to go when he took off Clichy and put the Flamster at left back. Eboue is an embarasment with his play acting and Ade looked lost up front on his own.I was surprised Walcott never started

As many people have said a draw would have been a great result before the game but we could and maybe should have won

Maybe he sends the wife round to the refs house the night before the match

Maybe he does send his wife around the refs house before the match.

Couldn't believe that cheating bastard got the MOTM.I would have gave it to either Toure,Hleb or Cesc,they were all great.

I would have giving it to Almunia i reckon he put off some spectacular saves yesterday to earn himself the man of the match award.

Magic Hat · Post by **Magic Hat** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 6:17 pm

and made a mess of a cross. Almunia played well enough, cross aside to deserve praise but my man of the match would any of Hleb, Masch, or our two cb's
