Christ Andy Grey is a ******!

Good link-up play between Gerrard and Torres, Nando is clipped on the edge of the box.

Aurelio and Gerrard will fancy this.

[bigfooty]

Gerrard picks out Torres free on the back stick, he trys to chip it back and Sami goes for it but can't get direction, corner to us in the end. Arsenal caught out there.

Corner well claimed by Almunia.

[bigfooty]

It's more like 4-4-2 at the moment with Gerrard alongside Torres.

[bigfooty]

Babel with his first chance to run at Toure, does okay and is a bit unlucky not to get a corner.

[bigfooty]

Arsenal free-kick, lofted in, Skrtel slips but no harm as Pepe gets it.

Gerrard and Torres linksd up well. Kuyt taken a knock in a block challenge when he lost the ball.

[bigfooty]

Looking at the Arsenal goal now, Adebayor just comes off Pepe and heads it in. Nobody went with him, nobody marking him, nobody in the space.

[bigfooty]

Kuyt seems okay to continue, comes back on now.

Clichy with a great cross there, runs all the way across goal but no Arsenal player can get in on it.

[bigfooty]

Kuyt's touch is abysmal at times, a good chance to attack there breaks down when it bounces off him.

[Kenneth]

Looking at the Arsenal goal now, Adebayor just comes off Pepe and heads it in. Nobody went with him, nobody marking him, nobody in the space.

Yep, it was amateurish.

[bigfooty]

Sami does well but Gerrard doesn't see a completely free Kuyt on the right, goes to Torres and the ball is overhit.

I think Babel is ****e. There I said it. He just runs up and down like headless chicken. If we could get 11m for him in the summer I'd get rid. Harsh I admit (8 goals is not bad return for a first season) but I don't think he'll get better as time passes.

[bigfooty]

Skrtel with a good block as our defence gets stretched. Adebayor free in the box there but Skrtel closed him down. Van Persie wastes a good chance when he beats the offside. Mascherano puts out a ball for a corner. We need to get organised.

[bigfooty]

Another Arsenal corner, Babel sliding in.

Van Persie booms it in, headed out at near post.

Babel seems to be ending the half in the RW position.

Arsenal come forward, Sami tackles for a throw.

[bigfooty]

Into added time, we get away with a mistake from Carra as the ball drops to Fabregas.

Half-Time. Arsenal been the better team but both sides made mistakes for the goals and ours is a vital one.
