I agree with most of the general points made, but methinks our editor is being a trifle negative about what I saw as a fantastic cup success. True, Liverpool dominated for a period, and even might have equalised, but this was an outstanding, rounded Arsenal performance. Ed does not comment on Thierry's magnificent decider: another memorable outpacing of Carragher deserving of a place in Arsenal folklore, reminiscent also of 'that goal' against Sp*rs. I didn't think it was a penalty - maybe not a booking as contact clearly was made - but Alonso seemed to trail his leg just enough for this to happen.
We should now have the psychological upper hand for the 2 (at least) further matches at Anfield this season, something Arsene may have had in mind when he picked yesterday's team...
Can you believe it? Arsene’s up for the cup! (7 Jan)
