Rovers should be level if not in front

[Guest Vinjay]

Craig Bellamy's had a couple of chances. Rovers seem to be showing more goingforward than last week not that the have any choice with the early goal.

blame the walkers nobheafd

[modes98]

Don't deserve to be 2 down, curse of the commentator strikes again.

Rovers need to get an early second half goal!

[all you need is duff]

2-0 Henry.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

2-0 Arsenal.....sorry boys 'n' girls but we are not in the same class as these top teams.

Time to move on and look forward to some winnable home games in the near future

Should have showed more ambition at Man City last week.

savage is being a right d**k ive heard trying to wind everybody up and trying to get reyes sent off. hes a liability at times

[Rover4ever]

Reyes should have been booked for his "pansy-punch" at Savage's face. Thats the second game our players are hit with the referee doing nothing.

Also was a bit surprised to see Todd starting but i am not sure whether Zurab could have done anything about Henry's goal though.

Rovers undone by pure class in Pires and Henry

If they can keep arse out for another 15 minutes and grab a goal back then who knows ?

Maybe you shouldn't believe all you hear. Reyes struck out at savage and therefore tried to get himself sent off!

Bellamy and MGP playing well, how we aren't level is a mystery!

Get Kuqi off for Dickov for me, give them more of the pace problem up front!

[modes98]

3-0, oh dear!

Charlton next

[Tango]

3 contenders for goal of the month apparantly, not much we could do about that I guess.

[greggyk]

seemed a very harsh result. But im sure plenty of positives to take from the game.

[Rovers_4_life]

Didn't expect anything else really, we were always gonna struggle with their quality.

[todd_could_take_tyson]

one positive is definately thompson, he played really well considering how long hes been out, if he can keep improving he could be on the way to being the player we all know hes capable of being. He produced some nice skill and always looking to take on his man today.

[Rovers_4_life]

After hearing match reports sound like we played quite well and were unlucky to lose 3-0.

[Shevchenko]

Don't think the result reflected what happened during the game really. We weren't outplayed by any stretch of the imagination. Just needed a little extra infront of goal and we should have taken something from this game. A draw wouldn't have been unfair. But once we went behind that early there was always a risk that they could hit us on the counter attack at any time, which of course happened towards the end of the first half (excellent goal by the way). But Rovers were brave and commited men forward when the oppertunity presented itself. Bellamy had a good game in particular. Nothing else to be said about v. Persie's goal than the fact that it was pure class. Brilliant goal, just typical that we were on the recieving end of it.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

No team loses 3-0 and are 'unlucky'....we were undone by 3 quality goals and had no reply for all our huff and puff.

We were every bit as good as Arsenal on the day. Difference was finishing. Nothing else. I thought rovers were superb.

Liability? Savage was superb today.

[RoyRover]

A disappointing result, but apparently we played very well and had plenty of oppurtunities to score. When you get these chances against the better teams, you have to take them, because they will punish you at the other end and that's what happened.

Why not? Maybe we deserved to get beat but we still could have been unlucky,they scored 3 very good goals, that to me is unlucky that they produced those against us and not next week.

rovers 9 shots on goal

arsenal 10 shots on goal

real huffing and puffing that is!

[den]

It was better than huff and puff. It was quality passing football that Arsenal had, for most of the game, no answer to.
