Honestly shocked he's keeping Elmander in the middle of a 4-4-2 against an incredibly strong Arsenal midfield.

Wilshere and Fabregas will run rings around Muamba and Elmander. At least lessons have been learnt though, regarding Petrov/Robinson, though if I were Alonso I'd be feeling pretty shit about now!

Let's just hope the return of Sturridge, combining with the other 10 having a point to prove, works for us.

It can't be a sell out. We just had the worst result of our entire history last week, nobody cares we're eighth, and the football has all been shit. Because of last week. We shouldn't bother with the cup any more either. Clearly it doesn't stir folks interest.

A little apprehensive when they're on the attack, but I think I always am when it's Arse or Chelski or the like. That said, we've had some decent chances ourselves. Lee needs some more confidence to rip those shots.

Deserved lead at the break.

The reason Sturridge is on loan however, is that he tries to do everything on his own. If he could learn to pass occasionally instead of taking a player on, he'd be an incredible player, worth the price that Chelsea paid for Torres. However, when he gets it right, he is simply astonishing to behold.

Wenger, tactically has cocked this up so far. Walcott vs Robinson was a mismatch, and he was destroying our boy, so what does Wenger do? Change him to the other side! Taylor is offering the protection that Petrov just doesn't, and that's why I prefer him in the side.

Given the way Muamba got booked, K Davies is lucky to not have been sent off. No need to challenge them like this, we're ruffling their feathers as it is with our passing.

Steinsson is having a good game for a change, but Robinson (imho) is not. The amount of times Zat is coming out of the box on the left side to defend, because Robinson can't keep up, it's not great!

Otherwise, all playing pretty well. Zat's defending has been excellent at times, and Cahill has also been excellent. Elmander...I can't work out if he's playing well or not. The role he's playing, to me, is very confusing.

They will come out full throttle second half, we need to hang on and nick another goal.

Oh and I don't think even Chung-Yong knows why he didn't shoot.
