All these without Song,we would do well to sign a DM early in the transfer window,even on loan.

Arsenal: Almunia, Sagna, Gallas, Vermaelen, Traore, Song Billong, Denilson, Nasri, Diaby, Eduardo, Arshavin

Subs: Fabianski, Fabregas, Vela, Walcott, Ramsey, Silvestre, Eboue

Poor midfield,they will be easily outdone if Villa do their usual hard work.Having Cesc on the bench is good though.

Good first half from us,Diaby has been our main driving force so far.Walcott and Fabregas can win this game for us.

This performance should do wonders to our confidence,just hope that Fab isn't injured too badly.

 

[phuchungbhutia]

great goals. fab was superb. hope he gets well n plays next game .

 

[skeletor]

gg Arsenal.

I'm out of station and couldn't watch the match....

 

[ssk_the_gr8]

man utd had a game like arsenal.. fabregas was all over villa & rooney was involved in all 4 goals with hull..

our game was sloppy though. finally we had players playing in there preferred positions.
the team didnt gel well . rooney kept giving the ball away until he woke up after his mistake.
Berba didnt deserve the goal after the way he played but that was 1 sweet through pass by rooney.
we need to improve a lot, the sloppiness in our play was unacceptable.Sharpness was lacking... maybe because a lot of players had returned from injury or had got back to there preferred position.

Berbatov seems to be on a different wavelength to the whole team.. when its a through pass hes not making a forward run , when its a cross for him hes not in the right position.. something has to be done to create the kind of understanding he had with keane & lenon

 

[dreamcatcher]

The only thing between both the matches is that Arsenal were playing a fourth placed Aston Villa which had beaten the big 4 while ManU were playing HULL who are happily settled at the bottom of the table.So not really an Arsenal type game.Rooney was involved in 4 goals throughout 90 mins of the match hile Fab came,saw and conquered in his brief stay..
No comparisons.

 

[XTerminator]

winnin 3-1 inspite of slack play is called genius.and that genius was wayne rooney yesterday.welcome back vida,u won everything in the air.the full-backs need to be more careful,as almost all hull attack was through the wings.rafael was too casual in his approach,berba too lazy.

 

[dreamcatcher]

Hull should have been 1-0 up at HT. The ref screwed them over a penalty.

 

[skeletor]

Man Utd's game was different. Hull were troubling them before they conceded the own goal. After Utd went 2-1 up in the 74th minute due to the own goal, Hull pissed in their pants. And Rooney was involved in 3 goals, not 4. He played good though, I agree.

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

winnin 3-1 inspite of slack play is called genius

Not when its HULL

 

[Rahim]

And Rooney was involved in 3 goals, not 4.

The cross which led to Dawson's own goal was made by Rooney. So indeed he was involved in all 4 goals apart from his goal, followed by his error, and an assist to Berbatov.

Man of the Match: Wayne Rooney was involved in all four goals. He scored one, produced a horrible mistake to help Hull equalise, and was then intensely motivated as he assisted two additional goals.

 

[Kl@w-24]

Hmm.... Now zis is getting serious.

 

[XTerminator]

Not when its HULL

given the recent competetive surge among the smaller teams,i'd say every game requires that bit of genius these days.

 

[ssk_the_gr8]

Hull should have been 1-0 up at HT. The ref screwed them over a penalty.

the position of the referee was behind the players.. so from that angle it seemed that brown got the ball ..

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Won't jinx it by mentioning the fun scoreline here

---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------

Looks like Fulham scored too early

 

[XTerminator]

imo chelsea have lost it.when you have a full-strength team failing to fire,you know youre not winning the league.

 

[skeletor]

The cross which led to Dawson's own goal was made by Rooney. So indeed he was involved in all 4 goals apart from his goal, followed by his error, and an assist to Berbatov.

I know it. But the other thing is called 'mistake which led to a goal' instead of involvement, atleast to me. (referring to Hull's penalty goal)

 

[Rahim]

^You don't get it, right about what involvement meant in this case?
