Hope his injury isn't too serious. Was very good today. I hope so too. He did appear to be paying attention to the requirement today and certainly lifted his game.

Easily his best game for us today. First time I've seen what others have been seeing since he got here.

He was really good today. I copped a load of flack for calling him skillful but lazy. Today showed how good he can be when he ups his workrate and makes those runs. He was willing to bomb into the area and support Crouchie loads of times - as it happened it didn't pay for him today but can't fault his contribution. Very good today.

Does he get the assist for Charlies second? He certainly should. It was a fantastic little touch and the fake shot might well have wrong footed the defence and keeper

Probably his best game for us. He looked sharper and quicker. His other good game was at Man Utd away he seems to turn it on against the "big" teams, he was first rate today.

Seemed to be growing in confidence, the longer the game went on. Looked really good!

When he's in the game he plays really well and always has a positive impact, when he's on the periphery and only has a touch every 5 mins,he,looks poor. He needs involving more and then he'll become a real crowd favourite (apart from those people who think flair players are lazy).

I especially enjoyed his little 'back heel and spin' move that drew the Rooney yellow card challenge.
Definitely got talent, just needs to mature a bit when things don't quite come off...

Does anybody know anything about his injury? It looked really bad, he was struggling even to limp to the tunnel.

If we do that you hear comments like "scissor" and "bad challenge". You won't hear fuck all about this one though. I'm not moaning about the challenge merely pointing out the inconsistencies.

To be fair, Arnie didn't do much different today than he's done in any other game, the only difference is we've won today. I can understand why he gets so much criticism because at times he does look like a sulking 9 yr old, head down, shrugging his shoulders and even turning his back on play. However he is the most naturally talented player at the club. He can control any ball whether it's coming out of the sky and over his shoulder or fired at his knees at pace. He can go past players at ease and every time he's on the ball you get a sense that something might happen. In the first 5 minutes today he got a difficult ball under instant control and played a superb early pass that totally tore the Utd defence apart, unfortunately Walters didn't make the most of it. A fabulous talent but a clearly flawed talent. Personally I just love to watch him.

When he's good he's bloody brilliant, when he's poor he's absolutely shocking.

Like how when he gets the ball he's got that bit of hoekstra / Ronaldo about him, how he stands bolt upright then just drops the shoulder with a trick and turn of pace.
Doesn't always come off but the only player to really get you on the edge of your seat for what might happen.

I'm not having a pop at you or anyone in particular but you are right and to be fair, if you are not paying big bucks for a player of some ability then you will get that with players like Arnie. He cost us 2M. He's got the natural ability of a Mata but consistency of someone a lot lower. I've said it before and i'll say it again, if Hughes can get stuck into him like he did with Bentley at Blackburn then we've got a player and a half on our hands. He is THAT good. One of these days he will turn up massively and slap a team on his own.

I also noticed he kept it simple(r) in his own half whilst trying everything he could in their half. I thought he did quite well at Chelsea (

Great game from Arnie and I'm one of his biggest critics, just a shame we need to be playing Manu United before he can get himself motivated.

Arnie was excellent today, but to be fair we had no passengers in the team today.
Great result, especially under the circumstances of our cluster fuck of a transfer window.

One of his best games yet, would have been close to mom if he had stayed on. Made Rooney look stupid with a brilliant turn which resulted in the scouse manc getting booked. Hope the injury doesn't keep him out of the team he's a confidence type player and after today him and the whole team should realise that with the passion and commitment shown today we are a match for almost anyone.

He looked sharp and hungry right from the first whistle.
Had he tucked that chance away a goal would have been well deserved for his performance.
More of the same please, Marko.
