Ok I watched the four goals we conceded again and it's time to pick the bones....
1st goal - Yakubu peals behind our two central defenders runs right beside Koscielny to get back onside,Koscielny see's him but shirks responsibility by just blankly pointing at nothing.Mertesacker hasn't seen him at all because he is behind him,Santos is sleeping and playing him onside.Szcznesy rightly come's off his line but his angle's are wrong and he's not ready for Yakubu's quick finish.
2nd goal - Free kick from our left after Arshavin's foul is floated in,pathetic attempt to win the header results in the ball coming down towards Sagna who avoids it.The result is that Song wasn't ready and his involuntary reaction from his leg hits the ball and rolls past the hapless Szcznesy.
3rd goal - Corner comes in and Koscielny misses the header at the back post,the ball is picked up by the Blackburn player who drives it across the goal line.Yakubu is clearly offside,the linesman makes a poor decision.In fact its a very poor decision because there is no player obstructing his view and the player he must think is playing Yakubu onside is actually behind him,Andre Santos(again). Zonal marking is to blame initially.
4th goal - Arsenal are caught up field and a ball is played down the line for the on rushing Olson.Djourou makes up the ground but his tackle is half hearted and feeble,which results in the ball bouncing kindly for Olson.He makes his way into the box until confronted by Song who he skips past easily (in fact could have won a penalty,Songs tackle was so shite) plays a ball into the near post and Koscielny turns into Bambi on ice and gets his legs all f**ked up.
