Nothing beats hunting for a goal with two of your best strikers subbed off. Wenger hamstringed this one for us, didn’t understand RVP being taken off, thought it should’ve been Denilson who was poor. At the end of the day it was injuries that cost us this one, Fabianksi was terrible and unsure of himself from start to finish and Eboue got turned around for no reason on their first goal. This was going to be a very tough game with three of our four backs and our first-choice goalkeeper out with injury and so it was. I have to say that with Sagna and Almunia in there this could’ve very easily been Arsenal’s game. I also couldn’t understand the reasoning behind Arshavin not playing and Song not starting in the back four instead of Eboue.

Arsene Wenger says we gave up ‘cheap goals’.

Good play from Gibbs and Adebayor leads to Walcott deflecting one of Cuntley’s hand:

Eboue Terrible, Fabianski, even worse:

Game Notes:

- Berbatov’s boyfriend was the commentator.

- Djourou and Senderos make me nervous. I’d rather have Sol Campbell than these two dicking around in the back.

- Denilson has trouble filling Fabregas’ shoes. Not really a surprise but the difference in quality is huge.

- It’s funny how right-footed Abou Diaby is.

- Second straight game where Eduardo’s picked out a run to perfection.

- The Theo goal was four inches away from being a handball, check the video.

- There wasn’t a doubt whether we’d come back despite playing like horse manure for about 88 minutes of this game.

- The Traore freekick from just outside the box made my go “Ughhhh”
