What do you think of Eduardo's game yesterday?
It was a good game overall..he was played on the wing..and i felt that position didnt get the best out of him..But he gave his all..and he gave Dani Alves a hard time..outsmarting him quite a few times in the process...

In the first half he was passive..but in the second half he got into the game more and more..made quite a few threatening runs and linked up well with Bentdner..Something else i like about him is, he's very cool in front of goal..his goal was well taken..a cross from the right in which he controlled it, took his time, dribbled the keeper and slotted it home..making the whole thing look so simple and effortless...He still hasnt played to his full potential imo..but he's in a steady improvement..Getting better and better with each appearance and come January..i am sure he will have fully adapted..

I don't like seeing him on the flank either, he's best as a striker and always finds himself in a dangerous situation while playing there. That is rarely the case when he's playing on the flank and his off the ball movement is one of his strongest characteristics. Though he has the pace and dribble to play on the side, he's not as dangerous there, his presence is not felt as much. But yeah, he did torture Dani Alves(whoever thinks this guy could cut in Serie A is insane, he's not a good defender) in a lot of situations.

Eduardo and cool in front of the goal was always the case, that's why he must play as a striker. His finishing is clinical and his goals per game ratio shows that. Even though he was assisted by the Seville defender, who made a mess with his goalkeeper, the way he chested the ball and controlled it was excellent. A great finish really.

Overall I thought his performance was good, nothing spectacular but that's because of the position he played in. He scored another goal and that's important for his confidence.

Finally Seville ended the winning games for arsenal with a great display
Is that supposed to entice a conversation with someone? A chimp perhaps?

They never showed the replay of the tackle leading to Barca's penalty, and I can't find it on the net. It looked like a clean tackle.

Does anyone have the replay?
