Feels like we lost!

The team selection looked like it was made with an eye on the Champions league. There are many ways to access the team selection. One of the possibilities was that, like the FA Cup semi final last year, Wenger wanted his nurtured little angels to win it and prove everyone that they can do it without Arshavin. We all saw what happened. Other way to look at it is that we all remember how we went down when we lost to Manutd over the two legs in the semis last year in chmpns league. So Wenger wants to make some damage control by keeping Nasri and Arshavin fresh for the Barca game.

Although the game turned out to be a draw, it feels like we lost the game. Surely, Birmi is the place where chels, manutd and liverp all have lost points. We did the same as well. The first half was a mixed affair, neither we nor them dominated. Sol was doing a good job of keeping Jerome at bay. As usual they got away with a few nasty challenges. But that is something that I kinda assume will happen these days.

I am really not in a mood to talk too much about the game but I can only hope that we fight till the last game. Barcelona is going to be very tough. Even if we somehow go through, we would have to deal with Inter Milan. If Inter plays with three Central mid fielders, there is no way in hell that we can open up there defense.

Denilson was awful, so was Walcott. Had to decent chances but never felt like he was confident. Clichy, Song, Sagna, Sol were alright. There goal was thanks to our beloved Almunia. I hope he can play the next three games without any mistakes. Bedntner did as much as he could. Rosicky and Fab and Diaby were alright. The pitch was half decent.

Keep the faith you gooners. Support the team, they have come a far way and will produce. Believe me you!
