The kid's definitely lost his way. He must be feeling down with all the current criticism going his way. His current form is bad and his temperant antics on the field have not won him any favours. However, if he gets his head right and puts in the maximum application, he is still a hugely talented footballer. Yes, he lacks cunning and creativity. He is hardly an assistmeister but the current team have more than enough in Fab,Hleb,Rosicky. But, he can be a powerful marauding winger if we all remember his pre-season and early season form. Eboue is a powerful lad with pace and armed with a tricky and rather skilful jinkling style of dribbling and he can get past players. He did consistently power past a few decent fullbacks on a consistent basis in the Amsterdam tournament, esp against the Inter team. And we thought we finally had a messiah on the right wing did'nt we? He is never gonna make the sharp or incisive through pass with his "footballing brain". But, he can still play to his strengths which other squad members lack. He was like a whirlwind, an "elemental force of nature" if I remembered the description correctly from you Myles. He just needs to produce it more often. I find that he needs to rediscover his confidence and sense of adventure in taking on defenders. He needs to have his head right. When tackled, get on with the gameplay fast and try harder next time around, instead of writhing on the ground feigning injury and getting sympathy marks from the referee. The kid just needs more bottle and stand up to be counted, and have the right attitude. He did put in a few good assists last season, where this season has gone horribly wrong for him. He could mixed it I remember, his crossing is average, like Glichy sometimes, but with his ability he can power off into byeline positions to cut back a pass or make runs from wide positions between defenders towards the edge of the box to square passes. He can be effective, and he needs to be for the crucial period of this season as long as Rosicky is always injured and Walcott is not ready. Emmanuel Eboue. The kid’s definitely lost his way.

Eboue did one thing in the entire game and that was to make himself look a total arse. Traore hasn't progressed and lacks positional sense - but he's still very young. Gilberto is past his sell by date and although he really tried hard and attempted to rally others he regrettably no longer has what it takes. Bendtner worked hard but lacks pace and a certain degree of upper body strength. Gallas put in an awful performance - at a time when he needed to lead his back four he was one of the causes for our panicky defending. Eduardo was the only one who looked to be giving his all in a totally inept first half display by Arsenal. United played well but that was largely down to the fact that we let them. All Wenger's second half substitutions were about saving players for the Milan game and the net result was an unwanted yellow card for a stupid and obvious dive by Adebayor.

I hope they use this match as a motivator to really go and get through to the next round. Also, man utd might be a little bit over confident next time round. So if theres any Manutd fans out there, remember this: We might have been knocked out of the FA cup two years in a row, but who was the team who beat you twice in the league last year? Arsenal. so watch out next time round, well be back to pull that league cup out if your hands, and into our trophy locker!! Yeah, good point.

Imagine all if you were a liverpool fan? The FA Cup is not priority simple and short!!!! We have Milan mid-week with 12 games to go and we need not risk our best players for the game. For me this is a positive because after the 5-1 loss at spurs we went on to win 3-0, 3-0, 3-1 and 2-0.So if we can get 3 past milan then I pray we reverse the game and we get thumped 6-0. Lets analyse our season in terms of priority. Which would you prefer the FA Cup or the Premiership Title? Who remembers Chelsea being the FA Cup holders last season but everyone knows Man U are the current league leaders and in terms of extra funds I think the league and CL are more profitable to progress in/win than the FA cup and carling cup. In Nigeria there is this joke that the carling cup is made of wood. Lets anayse our weaknesses: Hoyte, Hoyte, Hoyte and Hoyte.I think Hoyte and Theo are in Arsenal because we need english players in the team.Hoyte is a total shame. He is in the same set with Diaby et all but seems not to develop at all. Eboue and Toure were off as I guess they were mourning their exit from the ACN.We need to get behind our team at this time so we as fans can be mentally balanced to watch the Milan game. Man united would not have beaten us with that team if we had our regulars on the pitch. Who the hell is Fletcher? Who!!!!! However I think we need depth because if there are injuries to Clichy or sangna our season might be over. In my opinion for financial benefite and prestige the league is the most important trophy!!!!

I think the boys will be rallied up from the match, and with the others back, will be at giant-crushing best. I also have a feeling that, if not for the first, RVP will be back for the second leg of the milan game. Home game, with Ade, Flam and Edu all at top class, i think were the favourites with a 2-0 win first leg. Yeah, I have a good feeling about it.

The Wenger-bashing is a bit of a joke isn't it? Come on guys, we're five points clear at the top and with an epic game against Milan to come this week to turn things around. It is becoming a bit of pattern that when we lose we lose badly but I'd rather take some beatings to make sure the boys win in the games that matter. With Flamini, Adebayor and the two full-backs in the side we will be a different proposition. Anyone as excited as I am about Wednesday? I also agree with you.

Yet it seems because of their performance this season that they have been here forever, and that the "failing" players were the ones brought in. I dont know, but i think people might just be over reacting slightly from this loss. But, when you step back and look at it, We were versing last years runnerup in the cup, with a B-Grade Arsenal team, and we lost 4 zip, and people are like "Wenger sucks" and "lets sell players". Come on guys, it is dissapointing, but who really expects us to win with a team full of inexperience and injuries? Lets Give Credit where Credits due, and bloody move on, we have another, slightly bigger game this wednessday, and thos sort of attitude isnt going to help anything. (Sorry about the Long post SF, but i felt it needed saying. I still am an Arsenal Fan through and Through!!)

For your midfielders and attackers to defend, they have to run atleast twice the distance they normaly would. Which means when it is their turn to do their jobs they are always exhausted, which in turn affect their creativity and skillfulness, hence the passing. Arsenal's game is about passing. You can't pass well with heavy legs from extra duty. Trust me, with capable wide defenders as in Sagna and Clichy you wouldn't be saying what you are right now. Man U defence didn't have to do much. No extra credit to them as they were facing opponents who had been pulling extra duty all night. If I was to give credit it will be to Nani for exposing Hoyte. Everyone else was just reaping the benefits Costanzo, we never threaten united for the same reason we lost the game.
