Post Match Thread: Still unbeaten, Gerrard's on his way back....

[peekay]

For all their 600 passes in their own half I dont think Arsenal created any more clear cut goal opportunities than us. They were good but I dont think we were outplayed the way some people are describing it.

Is there a more despicable idiot in football than eboue. My hatred for him is surpassing Drogba levels.

I think 4-3-3 is a good formation to take advantage of our CM strength. But Rafa, please don't play Kuyt and Voronin both in the same team.

typical arsenal first half, passed the ball well, and did **** all with it, they didn't trouble us greatly in the first half imo. I always knew they'd trouble us in the last 15 mins, looking at the stats earlier today it was always going to be the hardest part of the match and unfortunately we failed that test

that'll be the difference for the title, the mancs get goals all over the pitch and consistently

they will walk the league

Agree about Eboue.

The lad is a grade A ****. I've hated him since that ridiculous dive in the CL final that led to the Arsenal goal.

I don't see how you can't say we were outplayed though. Their passing and movement was so much more fluent then ours, they hit the post twice and missed two open goals. We were laboured in comparison.

He went down today like he'd been shot. He's one of the worst play actors around - an absolute disgrace to the game.

And were my eyes deceiving me or did we have a correct penalty shout turned down when Sagna handled the ball in the corner. Why has not that being mentioned by anyone?

Eboue

I was sitting right next to the tunnel, front row, for the FA Cup game against them at Anfield last season. He came off and walked towards me. I made a 'diver' gesture with my hands and he laughed. Knowingly.

He's a horrible cheating ****.

Their passing and movement were better than us, I agree on that fact. And to a certain extent they did outplay us. But not to the extent the pundits and some people on here are describing.

They did hit the post twice but we also tested the goalkeeper number of times.

The only difference between us(In bad form) and the league leaders(ON Form) was Fibreglasses toe poke(Arsenils second shot on target) that beat Reina.

[Dhav]

Arsenal passed it about brilliantly in the first half but without really threatening our goal. Fancy football, no end product. Makes that **** Andy Gray's hyperbole look ridiculous if you ask me.

I think it is telling that they only cut us open in the second half when the game was a lot more stretched.

No doubting they are a top team though and ahead of us at present.

Todays result would ave been viewed as a decent result if we'd beaten Birmingham and Spurs at home.

Dissapointed to lose a goal so late but it had been coming.

A draw was a fair result and it means that we're not to far adrift.

Agree

Although we looked better in the second half and more creative, did we not let Arsenal back in the game though by stretching the game and giving them the space to get in behind us I wonder? Perhaps replicating our first half performance would have given us a better opportunity to pick up all the points, although admittedly ti would have been hard to keep that up for 90 mins.

That about sums him up.

An absolute excuse of a man.

we'd have been okay if our shape hadn't been ****ed by alonso going off, we were getting on top of them at that point

When you put it that way I'd say your right.

They were probably just the better team overall though.
