Ramar Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Apart from going ahead three times we were actuall very poor through out the game. Probably a fair result. Had you said we'd draw before the game, I'd have taken it. So I've got to be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tapedeck Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Shiiiit. I'm nashed from all the dancing about like a loon. What a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platty Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Well that was immense. At 4-3 I thought it was all over and was gonna come on here bumming Arsenal. To let them score again is terrible. But a draw is still a great result for United. Arsenals defending all night been terrible but then Liverpools werent much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald Emblem Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 We've done it again. Just like Against Tottenham, conceded the 3 points in the dieing moments. However considering how we played tonight, I'm happy we at least got the draw. Arshavin has made his mark, he's going to be a valuable asset to Arsenal.

dwarf Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Still annoyed that wasn't an Arsenal win but I would have taken a 4-4 result before the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 What a game! Arshavin; 4 attempts, 4 on target, 4 goals...lovely set of stats! The Arsenal defense was so much of a shambles it was comical though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald Emblem Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 We'd have been hammered had Arshavin not come through for us. What a legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramar Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Fuck it, I've had enough I'm taking on the facebook heroes. [person] embarassing, aside from the heroes that are Walcott and Arshavin, that was fucking embarassing. Fair play amazing game to watch though. [me] Whats embarassing about going to Anfield and getting a point? Especially when our defence is at half strength at best. Let the discussion begin.

Happenstance Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Once again a crazy match. Not happy at all with Liverpools defense though, too many stupid mistakes that lost us the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portlett Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) that was a great game to watch, especially being a United supporter. Fair play to Arsenal, like Alan Smith said they were no where near their best but they (Arshavin) still managed to score 4 goals. Now hopefully we can capitalise and get a vital three points at fratton park. Gotta say though most of the goals were from defenders being too lax........gr8 game however. edit: Just realised its not at fratton its at old trafford.

Fierce_LiNk Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 It was an extraordinary game. First off, I was pleased to see Fabianski playing in goal for Arsenal again, and he was one of Arsenal's best players tonight. In the first half, he kept you in the game, imo. Yossi Benayoun terrorised the Arsenal defence in that first half, but Fabianski did well to keep it level. I thought the first Arshavin goal was an example of shocking Liverpool defending. Was it Mascherano who lost the ball on the edge of the box? He loses it, and makes no attempt to win it back. Had he tracked back...or even moved about 3 or 4 yards, he could have won back that ball, but instead Arsenal score. The first two Liverpool goals...were again down to poor defending, but this time from Arsenal. They just couldn't clear the ball, and were kicking it wide rather than further away up the field (especially with the first goal.) Had they cleared the threat, I doubt Liverpool would have scored so soon. The second Arsenal goal, though, and the third....awful clearances and too much time doing nothing whilst on the ball by Liverpool. I think every single goal (bar maybe Torres') second could have been prevented in this game. 4-4 may sound like a spectacular scoreline, but it just highlights awful defending for me. But, saying that, I think the real winners tonight were Arsenal. Fabianski did not deserve to be on the losing side, and neither did Benayoun, so a draw is fair, but Arsenal on the whole will be glad to have gotten their point today. They didn't really get into the game at times, as Liverpool really bossed it, especially in midfield. However, when Arsenal did go forward, they looked like scoring. An Arsenal team with Adebayor, Van Persie, Clichy and maybe Gallas (with Walcott starting) would probably have left this game with all three points. But, given they just played a game against Chelsea on Saturday and Champions League before that, I think Arsenal have done well tonight, as much as it pains me to compliment them.

Ramar Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Think its fair to say both teams deserved to win, but for completely different reasons. Liverpool dominated us, and deserved it on that. And we deserved it on Arshavin's individual contribution. It would have been interesting to see the result had we been at full strength, but its a solid point and takes our unbeaten run to 19 games.

In all honesty, if it weren't for poor defending, either team could have won this. Also, 5 minutes of extra-time. I remember thinking o_O, ok, this will finish 6-6 now.

Roostophe Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 That was a great game last night. Proper mental. Not the first time Arsenal have conceded a lead in injury time this season. It looks like that Arshavin was a good buy, though, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember thinking o_O, ok, this will finish 6-6 now. It was actually over 6 minutes! We need a good win tonight. A scrappy 1-0 is probably what will happen which is fine as it'll be 3 points. But what we really need is a comfortable 3-0 or more win for confidence and to take the advantage over Liverpool before the spurs game on satuday (and to claw back some of that goal difference).
