I can't believe Eduardo is still being played as a left winger! He is deadly down the middle, so just put him there, please.


he started down the middle but was piss poor so i hink Arsene thought Rosicky would make more of an impact so he swaped them round.

true he wasnt at his best last night, but wasnt given any decent opportunities either, id liketo see him play upfront when we ave cesc an hleb feeding balls into him

Point gained in my eyes.

Thought we played well in the first half but in the second Toon played like a team who knew their season and their jobs were on the line.
The fact that Almunia was our best player speaks volumes.

4 points from 6 on the road this week with Boro to come means we've had a decent week so far IMO.

Can't grumble about being 4 points clear at the top! :d:

If we pick up 3pts at Boro at the weekend it will be 7pts away from a possible 9.

More than happy with that...

I agree he wasn't at his best, and he was left in some difficult situations that only Hleb seems to get out of. But I think Dudu will make for a great striker, I thought his touch was real good last night, just didn't get help when he needed it and gave the ball away a few times. And don't think it was too much his fault when they scored, he was given the ball in a tight spot and tried to clear but it ended up deflecting right to them, which seemed to happen alot last night. But they fought hard and deserved every ball they won.

Scouse fans on TIA have been celebrating last nights result like they'd won the European Cup or something. Show how worried teams are of us at the moment. I don't want to imagine how they're celbating on Manc or Cunstki fansites.

The first 10 mins and first 5 if the second half we were the good arsenal, after then we could have easilly lost, Adebayor had a couple of great chances to set people up but fouled to do it.
With Newcastle on such a bad run this game was so important to them and i was worried this would happen, fortunately we showed our class and held on for the draw. If Ade had played them wonder balls in the first half we could have had 3, maybe 4 goals and left Newcastle with no chance but unfortunately it didnt happen and Big Sam had his chance which he took brilliantly.
Was a good game from a neutral point of view an Necastle obviously but as already said a point way to 'The toon' is never a bad thing.
Well done the lads :trophy:
