Similar to Rooneys assist to Tevez for that goal against Boro, the backheel.

Adebayor 2-0

I'd like to know how many Km flamini covers during a match...

such a tireless runner

Hard to think of a better CF than Adebayor right now.

Not a bad assist for a pace merchant

It was a fluke Lrd.

He's just a 6 ft pace merchant

Ronaldo could have made it 2:0, Park on the right battled forward crossed, Ronaldo jumped like a Lion and headed it down, Taylor saved with his legs. Good build up.

Middlesbrough 0-1 Everton
Johnson (Pienaar)

Reading 0-2 Portsmouth
Utaka (Johnson)

Walcott on to replace Eduardo.

He played well today, slowly but surely starting to prove his qualities at Arsenal.

6 goals in 4 matches.

Middlesbrough 0-2 Everton
McFadden (Johnson)

villa lineup:

carson
mellberg davies laursen bouma
petrov barry reocoker young
moore agbonlahor

subs: taylor, knight, gardner, maloney, harewood

shame carew's not back - he'd destroy tottenham's defence. time for moore to step up though - he may not get many more chances to start if we bring in another striker & when carew's back.

maloney's unfortunate to be on the bench but petrov was playing well up until the illness/injury that kept him out the last few.

also, davies keeps his place above knight. could be a sign of things to come.

don't know why we've switched to 4-5-1

just play 4-4-2 and give walcott a run upfront

have to fancy our chances against that defence but it all depends how well we contain berbatov and defoe (who always scores against us)

Without Taylor Birmingham would have been beaten by a larger scoreline.

7 points from a possible 9 represents a decent festive period for Arsenal. Lets hope it continues into this new year.

Just seen footage of the Man Utd bench. Tevez looks like he has picked up a big knock on his ankle.

I agree, if you play with no keeper you're asking for trouble.

He was on form today, really impressive.

Not sure how bad the injury is. Rooney I suspect should be back for the Villa Cup game.

Only 13 senior players available today...think that's 14 injured, so it's no surprise we didn't really produce much. Our biggest attacking threat was with Ljungberg who adds to the injury list...making that 12 senior players available...

Feeling confident in your FA Cup game vs. Man City next week with all these injuries?

Well no, not at all...Man City or not, we should be beating them at home, that simple tbh. We might have 1 or 2 players back with a bit of luck. I'll be very disappointed if we don't win. Still...

It seems we gave a good account of ourselves today in creating chances, and I can't be disappointed one bit with losing at The Emirates...

Lausen misses another easy opportunity.
