My GF was laughing at me screaming at the TV "shoot! shoot the f***ing ball!!!" half the game
Thankfully Rosicky gave it a shot when he came on.
Diaby was very impressive in his control, skills, getting into dangerous areas... then doing little with it. I'm not sure anyone else would have been as good at the moves he made to create space. I am also sure that anyone else would have done more once there. So its hard to say someone else would have done better, as they would not have accomplished the first part nearly as well to even get to the second.
Wilshere was wonderful. One poor tackle threatens to ruin his day though. I've tried to remain level headed about someone so young, but he was fantastic. Seems better with every game. The games out may do him good though, he'll be wondering if he'll get back into the starting IX (Cesc is back, Ramsey not far off) and fight for it.
Once again though, we were left watching two center backs try to defend alone. Where is the rest of the team FFS?? This is never going to change until Wenger starts barking up their asses about defending. And it seems he never will. Its simple, when we do not have the ball, EVERYONE is a defender.
And the penalty... a weak one, but technically still a penalty. Part of me thinks he was going down before contact and looking for a call, but there appears to be contact nonetheless. Much like Almunia on Rooney last year - Rooney was going down already but Almunia gave him the penalty by touching him.
