Valencia turned from scorer to assist-man to present Welbeck with a chance he could not miss. I have to be honest and admit that Arsenal deserved a draw for their second half display. But we really should have wrapped it up in the first half when we were dominant.
With Giggs and Carrick evidently out of fuel in midfield after the break, SAF titubated for too long to make the necessary changes and Arsenal got a deserved equaliser. It was left for our best player today, i.e. Valencia, to practically win it for us. Rooney and Nani were poor again - very poor! Welbeck scored but is not a polished player and at times seems to be thinking one thing and his body responds in another way. What on earth was he doing on the 94th minute alone in front of the Arsenal goal and opting to dribble instead of shooting?? He runs for 90 minutes though and just for this fact is an asset at this moment in time.
We remain 3 points behind City but need to improve our performances in the run in as we are struggling in practically all areas of the pitch. With the current injury list, I would go for the transfer market and get a defensive midfielder who can play in defence. Easier said than done, of course....FA Cup next weekend, guess against who???
