Arsenal lost 0-2 to Manchester united after a dismal performance at OT today. This marks the end of the FA Cup for Arsenal and my patience in our manager.
As the match started United began pressing. Their tactics as usual was to stop us plying. In the 2nd min Arshavin left foot shot went straight to VanDerSar. In the 5th min Nasri played a neat ball across the box, sadly Arshavin was not in the right place to receive it.
It seemed that either United’s tactic was to soak up our pressure and attack on the counter-attack, or, if they won the ball from us (when we were attacking), it was a long ball to the front man.
Our crosses were not good. In the 1st 10 mins Gibbs and Nasri were probably giving VDS catching practice. 12 mins gone and no real chance for any team…
In the 14th min the Arsenal defense was caught sleeping when Fabio’s cross was headed over by Rafael. What were Gibbs and Kosher doing? In the 24th min RVP’s shot from the left was collected by VDS.
In the 27th min, United took the lead after the Arsenal defence was caught sleeping. Hernandez had a header saved by Almunia but F.Da Silva tapped home. The Arsenal wingbacks were doing nothing. Disgusting! United should have been 3-0 up.
In the 32nd min RVP forced a slight touch save from VDS via his weak foot. And from the resulting corner RVP escaped his marker and fired his header off target. Wenger as usual has got his tactics all wrong. What a ***king dumbass! Who plays a twat like Diaby, or even Denilson. Just put Nasri in the middle and Eboue in the right. Even Sagna’s work load in terms of crossing and moving forward will reduce.
In the 44th min, Nasri’s shot nutmegged Brown out of nowhere and was going towards the near post but VDS made a great reaction save! In the 47th min Kosher got behind the United defense, but hesitated to shoot. He tried to pass it to RVP, it ricocheted back to him. This time the French-man did shoot, but VDS made a great save.
But just a min later Rooney put United 2-0 up with a close range header. Thank you Denilson! In the 56th min VDS pulled another save from Nasri. 2 mins later we saw our first sub. Chamakh for the b*stard Denilson. In the 63rd min, RVP’s curling effort just missed the goal. 3 mins later Chamakh’s drove was straight at VDS.
In the 71st min Chamakh’s header clipped the top of the bar. But 4 mins later he should have scored from a Sagna cross. In the 77th min VDS pulled out another great save from Rosicky. After that we had a short break at DJ was stretchered off with a dislocated shoulder, he’s now out for the season!
In the 94th min Rosicky threw another chance away after Sagna put in another great cross. In the 95th min Scholes should have been sent off, and 1 min later Almunia pulled out a great save to prevent a thumping.
Overall United deserved the win and if we win ANYTHING THIS SEASON it will be the right to call us LOSERS. I am sick and tired of this idiot…
