Arsenal game.

Arsenal do play flowing football but to be to be fair their first goal was deflected away from Hart (though this time it was on target). The second goal had a hint of offside about it and for all their dominance they only went in at half-time up by one goal. Second half Vassell, who wasn't offside and then didn't chase the ball, was flagged offside as Petrov chased the ball and was in. Now had that been allowed to play out it could have been 2-2 and who knows where we would go from there. However it wasn't to be and we have to deal with the fact that again we were not good enough up front and struggled to compete in midfield. That put extra pressure on our defensive players and maybe made them look worse than they are. For me I would have liked the first substitution to have been Hamann off for Vassell. I think Sturridge holding up the ball and feeding Vass, or vice versa would have been interesting.
