Henderson should have had that goal when he had Szczesny all the way out on the right a few minutes before the half.
That's a very difficult shot to make. Because you have to keep it high and try to make it drop right below the crossbar. If it's too low, or drops too early, the defender easily catches up to it and it's a routine clearance. Can't fault him for that, especially considering it was from an angle that required a bit of curl as well.
Also, if Sturridge figures out how to use his right foot he'll be 1 and a half times the player he is right now.
I realize it is difficult and I am being tough on him, but I thought he should have gotten rid of it sooner.
Lucas didn't touch Wilshere at all leads to a dangerous free kick spot. If Arsenal scores off this I'll rage.
I originally thought that too, but then I watched the replay. If he got rid of it sooner it woulda been a disaster. He had to set himself up for that attempt. Anything rushed woulda been ridiculous and we all woulda criticized him even more.
Damnit - he scored just as I was about to head back to the lunchroom to watch the last thirty minutes.
Brendan got the tactics all wrong. Agger ending up a few feet away from Giroud is just not good management.
