It's strange that they're not showing it, don't rememebr them not showing replays before. Tackle didn't look too bad from the default camera angle IMO.

Same here.

Must be a really bad one not to show it.

In real time it didn't look that bad. Just looked a miss-timed tackle that caught Eduardo. I think it might have been the boot stuck in the ground which caused his leg not to give way to the tackle.

1-0 Birmingham.

Great free kick, keeper probably could've done better

pd101 · 23-02-2008 02:18PM

Almunia would've saved that had he used his other hand

Sky footage of the tackle:

Can't see a whole lot from that angle.

Guy:Incognito · 23-02-2008 02:26PM

Yeah, doesnt look like much. Probably a harsh sending off. Looks more accidental than anything.

Guy:Incognito · 23-02-2008 02:39PM

McFadden is so slow its unreal. He's got the ball in about 10 yards of space a few times, but it's like he's on pause and th eArsenal players are on FF.

I put this in the injuries thread but i#ll put it here too. Photo of Eduardo's injury:

That is horrific.

bennyx_o · 23-02-2008 02:55PM

One of the pics posted later in the thread (Page 2 I think) shows what looks liek the bone coming out, also makes it look like a high foot that caused the damage.

Arsenal need to get their sh*t together here. They've been terrible

bennyx_o · 23-02-2008 03:02PM

1-1

Walcott

herbieflowers · 23-02-2008 03:03PM

has the injury affected them or have they just been awful? hard to say I suppose seeing as it was so early...

impossible to tell that really as the injury happened so early in the game.

bennyx_o · 23-02-2008 03:08PM

Walcott again

herbieflowers · 23-02-2008 03:08PM

yeah, hopefully they'll lose anyway irrespective of the injury

PHB · 23-02-2008 03:13PM

Ugh, shouldn't have been a first goal

nice stuff from Walcott, lovely second goal.
Arsenal should score a couple more

Come on Zarate

Magical wonder goal is needed here

PHB · 23-02-2008 03:18PM

Alfonso Alves could have quite a nice day today if he's playing consdiering Liverpools defensive crisis.

mike65 · 23-02-2008 03:33PM

Rafa thought of that

Reina
Finnan-Arbeloa-Hyypia-Aurelio

Masch--Lucas

Gerrard
---Kuyt

Babel

Torres

(thanks to Tusky!)

Mike.

Guy:Incognito · 23-02-2008 03:34PM

No Alonso again? Boo Urns.

mike65 · 23-02-2008 03:36PM

Not even on the bench nor Pennant which is just weird.

Mike.

machiavellianme · 23-02-2008 03:46PM

Penalty kick for Birmingham

PHB · 23-02-2008 03:47PM
