Lucky Reds Levelled At Half Time

2 Apr 2008 Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool - CL quarter-final 1st leg

BBC - Emmanuel Adebayor headed Arsenal in front in powerful fashion from Robin van Persie's cross after 23 minutes. Arsenal's lead lasted only three minutes before Steven Gerrard set up Dirk Kuyt to score from close range. The Gunners had a clear penalty appeal turned down after the break when Kuyt hauled back Alexander Hleb in the area.

How did we get away with a bad performance like this?? Of course I am happy with the result - a draw, an away goal, but it was a horrible display. Giving the ball away too much and looking like lazy! That's face it, we were lucky with the penalty decision and the shot by Fabregas cleared by Bendtner! Arsenal should have scored 2 or 3 at the night.

What was going on? Were they too tired after the derby on Sunday?? We certainly need a much better performance back to Anfield. It's only half time. Advantage to Liverpool? No, I don't think so. Arsenal have a good record playing at Anfield recently. If we don't come out and win it, it could easily be a nightmare for us.
