I thought we played pretty well up until Adebayor got sent off. The sending off seemed to galvanise Arsenal, they felt hard done by and it showed in the way they all started giving that much extra.
Our players didn’t respond to this and the subs made little impact. It’s the sort of situation where Mascherano would have been interesting, I’m sure he would have given it back and fought our corner.
Regardless of whoever is to blame, Rafa, Lee or the players, we didn’t do enough to win the game after the sending off. A second striker alongside Keane was what we needed, not the predictable Babel for Riera change.
7 out of 9 points in the first round of games against the big three is not a bad return.
i think yes what about you
