To be fair to bedtner (and I aint a fan of his) I thought that he was excellent in the 1st half but those 4 gilt edge chances ruined him and at the end of the day putting the ball in the net is his job - feel sorry for him though
I have said it before and I will say it again but arshavin's vision is streets ahead of anybody else in the team and in the 1st half with his back to goal his vision and pass to put theo through (when he could have had a pen from warnocks tackle) was outstanding

How that horton clown said that he expected more from him is beyond me
I thought that denilson ran the midfield today - am I alone in thinking that ? Kolo was outstanding at the back and the 2 full backs defended well also. Djouru (a player I rate highly) is very jittery looking of late and that is a worry. Have to say that at times theo does look very much a one trick pony and allows defenders to brush him off the ball and ran him into corners all too easily
Finally I cant finish without a word about the *word censored* known as diouf - many of you are well aware that almunia is not my favourite player ever(

) but the tackle on him today was a disgrace

Again I have said it before and I will say it again but I miss the days when team-mates look after their own - imo one of almunia's team-mates should have "sorted" diouf out on a 50/50 ball just to mark his card. Some will say that line of thought is outdated but imo giving each other hugs and kisses before the match(

) is all well and good but it is on the pitch during a match that teams should show their solidarity and let *word censored* like fat sam know that the days of kicking us over the park are gone

Fair play to almunia for attempting to create a chance for himself to sort out diouf (like lehman at corners really wasnt it ?

) and I loved the way he kept pointing to the tunnel to let diouf know that he would sort it out with him in there after the game
