Arsenal 4 - 4 Liverpool
What an exciting game full of highs and lows. Today's game at Anfield, I would remember it for the poor defense Arsenal has played in a long time. Our "should be a rock solid" backbone of Sagna, Toure, Silvester and Gibbs put up a "couldn't have sucked more" display.
Arsene didn't have any other choice, with Clichy, Gallas and Alumnia out till a distant future, I could only imagine what would Ronaldo and Rooney do to our defenders on the Champions League game on wednesday.
The game started with some smooth passing from Arsenal and I was expecting the regular Arsenal game. After a while Liverpool pressure started to build up. Arshavin's first half goal was some relief.
Second half, two goals in quick succession within 10 minutes was an amazing display by Liverpool. Just what i feared the most. After watching them play against Chelsea, I knew anything was possible. But it is quite few a times when you get to see Arsenal come back from behind. That amazing thing happened as Arshavin, our savior in tonight's game rescued us and secured a point.
The difference I felt was mainly due to Walcotts introduction in the second half. Denilson who was replaced by Theo was barely visible, to be honest i just saw him playing when his name got called during the substitution.

Whenever we went forward, there was a sense of hope. 0-1, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 3-3, 3-4 and 4-4 was far more than breathtaking. At times I was down on my knees praying to god, trying to bribe him that I'd start believing in him if we won. I guess he doesn't take any bribe but the match was sensational.
And of course a 6 minutes extra time in the end and liverpool shouting for penalty .. nearly gave me a heart attack.
Hopefully Gibbs learned more from this game..
If we can produce this result with such defence, I'm more hopeful for Arsenal's further pefromance.
Go GUNNERS!!!
