Honestly other than the goals that Arsenal scored, Can you remember Dudek having to make any saves? Two goals scored from long range shots outside the box, And one total ****-up by Carragher against Henry, Thats it?
If Liverpool scored first, It would have been a different game but they didnt and played right into Arsenal's hands, About the keepers? Well they might have had a pre-arrangment with the keepers assuring them they they would get some first team football in the cups, Didnt make a difference really though, Riena would not have had much chance for the first two but maybe for the Henry one though, As Dudek seemed to take an age to get down...

OK Im not one for the stats, but Dudek picked the ball out of the net 3 times, but that was about it. Almueria (sp?) had nothing to get dirty for either.
1st goal Dudek had no chance, it was a well taken shot.
2nd Goal Rosistky (sp?) was surrounded by 5 inept defenders, then another two (I counted them all) and went past them all. Dudek took an age to make his save, and still missed it.
Goal 3 Awful mistake by Carragher kept the ball in for Henry. He still had it to do, turned Finnan like he wasn't there, and made it look easy. Again Dudek had plenty of time to make the save, but took an age. A better keeper would have saved that one.
Again, not one for stats, but you can have 70% of the ball and still lose, like today??, but its what you do with it when you have it. Liverpool had no idea how to break down Arsenal with all the ball they had, thats why I say L'pool were so poor. No idea, no invention, nothing. Thats why I give so much credit to Wenger, and Benitez was clueless and couldn't or wouldn't try to change things by using his subs better.
Anyway, its over, and its only a game after all.
Funny how two people can see the same game and view it differently
