Arsenal unlucky

Tough tough loss for the Gunners. I was able to catch most of the second half of the match, which was slightly painful to see an own goal sink the gunners. Diaby, other than scoring on his own keeper, played a solid game. He exhibited a high energy level, took on Manchester United defenders and tackled well. Arsenal were unlucky they did not get a second goal moments before the Diaby gaff when Van Persie's free kick smashed against the cross bar, Foster having been beaten.

This was a difficult loss to stomach for the Gunners, a draw would have been the minimal for the efforts put forth by the Gunners. Unfortunately they will return to North London without a single point. Too bad.

I think Diaby would of had a great game if it wasn't for that own goal. He crossed up some defenders and had good dribbling especially for a tall player. But I do think he has more to learn and maybe he might be world class some day.

The own goal by Diaby was very unlucky. Watching the replay, I think that Almunia should have come out and taken control of the cross. I agree with Philip, had it not been for that one play Diaby had a monster game. He nearly drew the game level right after the own goal when he completely turned the Man U defense in circles only to fire his show just wide. I have never doubted Diaby's talent...just his ability to stay on the pitch!
