What I will say is that we will NOT witness a display like that on Wednesday that is for certain. Flamini, Cesc, Gallas and Toure will start the game with 100% intensity

I started saying that the FA cup didn’t mean alot in our current circumstances but watching that kind of performance was horrible to say the very least.

I would have rather we rested everyone and played our kids instead of players like Cesc and Gallas walking around looking like they obviously didn’t care.

We have problems with squad depth, we are short on numbers, we need to keep everyone available to play for Arsenal in what is the most important part of the season. So what does Eboue go and do? He fly kicks Evra in the stomach in a game that is third on our priority list. Very intelligent, very clever, Well done lad good thinking.

Gallas didn’t look like an experienced captain after kicking out at Nani. He had quite a terrible game overall. It reminded me of the carling cup match against the scum.

Arsene claims that the result was a one off.

He said: “I believe this result is a one-off. We will come back to Old Trafford in better shape

So that is our second ‘one-off’ along with the carling cup semi final.

Arsene Wenger was complaining about the state of the Old Trafford pitch after the game and I remember thinking that same very thought before the game started. It shouldn’t be a problem to be honest because we should have learnt how to vary our game.

“The pitch is a disgrace,” said Wenger. “You have players worth £20-25million and you cannot play a pass without it bouncing.”

It should be between them and Chelsea for the Cup now. This defeat should be forgotten about if we can have a good display and victory against AC Milan
