I'm not saying that Arsenal haven't done well despite injuries, and while Rooney had another massive game, I was pleased with the work of the midfield for United. It wasn't classic old guard style midfield, but it was better. If Ferdinand and Vidic had been healthy, we would easily have seen a 5-0 thrashing.
It wasn't an Almunia own goal, he had horrible positioning on the play and Nani (for once) showed some real magic and put it in the corner. The only reason it even looks like an own goal is because Alumnia had no other chance of stopping the ball because of his horrible positioning on the play.
What's with Clichy and the entire team allowing Park to run nearly half a field without even a mark or attempted tackle? That's they type of play that shows there is still a lot of maturity that needs to happen in the Gooner locker room if they are ever going to bring the EPL title home again.
