Our unsung heroes.

it's already the 70th minute and we're still 3-0 down and eboue got a red card. i can only say that we deserved it. we weren't playing well and in the end rooney just ripped us apart. we weren't controlling the game, the defence was shaky, lehman was crap, and don't get me started on gilberto. i'm seriously wondering why he's even the captain for the brazilian team. he's slow, he's passing has been off and we can't even make a decent tackle anymore. talk about how professional he is but he's heart is just now there anymore. at least while diarra complained and moaned, he played well once called.

the one thing this game made clear though is arsenal's unsung heroes. they are our 2 full backs, clichy and sagna. i know i've been singing their praises all along this season but this game has really made it clear. both or solid in defence and while their understudies, traore and hoyte are okay in that department, they lack the prowness going forward. the forward runs, the pinpoint crosses is arsenal's best weapon.they have been sorely missed in this game and clicy in the 5-1 drubbing at totenham. when they get forward, arsenal have 6-7 men on the attack and provides the width to let our wingers drift infield.

i do have to stress that we went into this match with clichy,van persie,rosicky,denilson,diaby, alumnia injured. sagna's away for personal reasons. senderos,adebayor,flamini are half fit. i suspect fabregas isn't too well as well. manUre on the other hand have almost a perfectly fine squad.

and as i finish this article, it's now 4-0. i just hope as with the totenham game, arsenal will bounce back in the milan match midweek and against birmingham next week.
