Commentators absolutely gutted. Imagine if Rooney had scored that

What is wrong with Kolorov?

They said hes injured but he seemed annoyed when sat on the bench?

Maybe he`s annoyed because he`s injured ?
Didn`t watch the match but waiting to see the recording of it later,so no idea why he went off.
Anyone else know,if it was tactical or injury ??

he got a niggle in his quad during warm up but the Mancini / Platt etc decied it was still work eisking him - but after 10 mins he got the niggle again so was subbed

Ok thanks!

Congrat's to the team, all the team put in an effort to bring about the result, it was that kind of game for us, defence was good and Pantilimon was good in goal, the midfield misfired a bit but Mancini pulled off Kolarov and put Aguero on which balanced things a bit more, Savic and Kolo were solid, De Jong was De Jong, Hargeaves had a quiet match, and Nasri was slightly off tonight, still got the result which is important, listen on BBC Radio Overseas in Oz, so a nice way to wake up to the day..............keep up the good work guys.........

Jut watching the last few minutes again.

I'm happy with Mancini's stick vs carrot approach to AJ, but that assist was pure quality. And with his pass in the first half, he's certainly starting to rack up some world class play.

Credit where it's due, if he can take on board the constructive advice that he's getting we will have a top notch player on our hands.<br /><br />-- Wed Nov 30, 2011 1:16 am --<br /><br />Full credit to Edin as well, that was some contribution to our goal.

Watchin the game i thought it was tactical. He didnt seem injured to me...

But Mancini said after the game that it was an injury though he didnt know what exactly it was even though they knew about it before the game..

Sounded fishy to me hence my pondering..

A few minutes earlier he'd been running back tracking an Arsenal player and he didn't look right then. Said to my lad that he looks like he's struggling so wasn't too surprised to see him come off.

Nedum was shite.hopefully that's the final time we see him.


Those saying he played well must not realize he's a defender.

U need to go Specsavers mate Ned wa fantastic tonight. Can u remember anyone on the Arsenal left that caused him a problem because I can't?

Coquelin had his number and the entire first half looked a threat.coquelin faded badly in second half but theres no way I'd want nedum playing again,far better out there if we need a right back.they got him badly twice on the counter in the second half and others covered him.

Honourable mention for Kolo.

Sublime goal.

Another Semi-Final. Yeehaw!

 

[LongsightM13]

Dzeko my man of the match, Kolo and Big Pants were the pick of the rest for me tonight. Sergio hasn't been in the greatest form lately so delighted he scored, will do him the world of good. Great piece of skill by Jonno to set him up as well.
Great result in our third tough away game in a week.

 

[squirtyflower]

We're in another fuckin' semi final!

Well done guys

That's three quarter finals on the trot we have won after nine defeats on the bounce

He definitely pulled up early in the first half and didn't look comfortable.
