Adebayor SINKS MAN UTD

In a stunning end to a decent game at Old Trafford the young Togo striker scored the goal that shattered Utd's 100% start to the season and perhaps gave Arsenal some hope for the EPL campaign ahead.

In a way this was a well deserved victory that owed much to the willingess of Arsenal to go for the win. Man Utd will wonder if a lack of belief from their manager led to this defeat - Sir Alex sub'ed off Rooney and Scholes in place of Ole and Carrick instead of using all of his weapons at the same time.

SO tis game on in the EPL as far as Arsenal are concerned.

Gutted.
As a Reds fan I was gutted with the result. We just didn't play as well, bottom line. Had a couple of chances especially C. Ronaldo's but the rest was .... well bad. Should have brought on Ole G and Carrick much sooner I say!

I thought Man Utd
deserved a draw at most - to be honest they should have been bolder and gone for the win.

I'd blame Van der Sar.
Van der Sar shot off his mouth, and got himself benched with all their back-up goaltending talent playing everywhere in EPL but Old Trafford. That leaves the Reds with their 4th and 5th guys on their depth chart dressing for the game.

Man Utd was playing on their back heels from Kuszczak's penalty on. The were too busy looking over their shoulder at how Koszczak was doing to devote much time thinking about building and attack.
