Watching the match,I was happy with the lads commitment...2-1 at Highbury is no disgrace,but no points either! It was a pity that we couldn't convert our possesion into genuine chances,but,that said,we couldn't commit to much into the attack,as Arsenal are so strong in the counter.I thought it was a frustrating game as we didn't really play a centre-forward as such,so Anelka/Huckerby/Goater were having to create their
own chances, The sending off of Ali was dissapointing,but he seemed to walk into it...we're going to miss him when he serves his suspension!
