Just re-watched the 1st half. Got to say we pressed well. The pass and move between our defence & midfield was very good. Henderson was hardly involved for the vast majority, though he did have a few nice touches. Adam was largely wasteful with set pieces and lost possession, softly, a few times. Lucas also misjudged a couple of tackles, which directly lead to Arsenal (half-) chances. Kelly stood out for me, Carroll looked like he was just off the pace, a few times where if he was just a little sharper or 1/2 a pace quicker. Reina made some very good clearances from corners and a very good save from Frimpong. Carra & Agger had little to do, but did most of it well, one slight mistimed slide from Agger and one wasteful unneeded hoof from Carra. Enrique was good as well, two little errors, a poor back pass and caught out of position once, but everything else he did was very good. Thought Downing had a productive first half, Kuyt looked off the pace for the most part, but his work rate led to a couple of chances.
