This is terrible watching.
I'll just concentrate on the defence. The gap in class between Clichy/Sagna and Hoyte/Traore is immense. These two full-backs have given us no support whatsoever! Traore has been poor in his positioning and Fletcher is toying with him. Fletcher!?
Why was Hoyte marking Rooney? He's poor in the air. He has been Nani's bitch down the right hand side. He's not fast enough, strong enough, he's poor in the air and he has not done his job.
Toure and Gallas have not worked together. If one of the plays the off-side trap, the other stays back, allowing Rooney to run through.
Lehmann was poor in that first goal. He should have anticipated that header. It wasn't travelling that quickly. To be fair, the second header was deflected and he has come out of his box well. Plus, Nani's goal was bobbling slightly so he can't really be blamed for diving over it.
Now, onto the midfield. Fabregas has been poor defensively. He could have done better in his challenge for the header against Anderson. Then, he gives the ball away to Rooney (who I thought had handballed it) and fails to track Fletcher properly.
Hleb has not been himself. The state of the pitch has played to this slightly. He can move the ball smoothly and when he passes the ball to Traore on the left, he messes up.
Eboue's been non-existant and Gilberto is not doing the job Flamini has been doing. He looked immobile and his passes have been sloppy. He's not looked strong at all.
Eduardo has ben our best player. He's looked the most attacking, trying tolink up with Fabregas and Bendtner. If he got more support, he could get a goal.
Bendtner's been brilliant in the air but he's getting no support.
Nani has been fantastic down the wing. Man U have outplayed us completely but I don't need the commentators saying every 3 minutes 'Arsenal's passing has been poor' or 'They haven't been themselves'. We bloody know. They do this every match we haven't been at our absolute best.
Anderson has been instrumental and so has Carrick with their linking up with Rooney, who has been by far the best plyer on the pitch. Absolutely brilliant pace, runs, control and he should have got a goal.
I'll be estatic if it ends 3-2.
At least I can take solace in Liverpool's defeat.
