Have to agree with Zimm here. Utd are a poor team this season, but on Sat they were miles above us. Had Rooney scored that pen, you felt, they have got more.

However going in and 1-0 down, i thought, Theo coming on changed the game and we looked much better. Like you said we missed some chances and couls and should maybe have made it 2-2. Or even 1-1 Had TV5 not made his mistake.

I can understand why fergie was upset they did not score more. He wants that GD up, fact he said it against us showed us where we are.

What can you do what has happend has happend, guess we have to focus on the next game.

We looked better with 10 men and it's no surprise that our only two shots were set up by the on form players that took part in the cup game.

Pretty much, Everyone could see Theo needed to start that game and pace wwas needed, he may have been marked out the game, but was what we needed.

Like you Wenger's Insistance on playing Ramsey is costing us big.

We didn't deserve a draw and a draw would have been daylight robbery, they were far more dangerous all match and we'd have been extremely lucky to get a draw....only a wonder goal by Cazorla got us a goal at all.

What are these chances that we had?

We only manager two shots on target and both came after 90 minutes. It wasn't close and if you can't defend, you don't deserve a win. Highlights aren't the best way to asses a match. We struggled to string together passes or mount a decent chance. It wasn't 50:50.

A few times Carzola was in a position to unleash his bomb from a long range but decided to do a Hleb . Giroud had a clear chance from Wilshere pass but was too slow to react and did a Chamack . Theo was put though by Carzola to right side with only the goalkeeper to beat but sky the ball over . Giroud had a good pass from Podolski and we know the rest as it is Giroud from Arsenal .

When we watch the game live on TV or at the stadium we are under emotion as we want our team to do well . But when you watch the highlights and/or the replay you can see many actions you didn't noticed as you were watching the game under pressure .

And Man utd had even better chances to make the score look similar to last seasons humiliation

We were outplayed, outfought and had our asses handed to us

Most one sided 2-1 of all time

I watched the highlights twice and the replay once the only thing I can agree with you we didn't play well to the Arsenal standard . But I don't buy that we were outplayed . I 'm not trying to defend anything . Why should I ? We lost the game as simply as that . But we should not accept opinions that portray the game the way it wasn't . And it is a matter of personal opinion . We all follow the media and watch games . We can accept what is said or choose to make a different opinion according to what we believe after assessing certain situations .
