Great first half, shit second half. The missed pen and the decisions that didn't go our way were big knocks to the team's morale - something that Kenny should be able to deal with, but he'll have a hard time of it while everyone is still getting used to playing with each other. Flanagan actually looked really good until the equalizer, but that seemed to have totally shattered his nerves, which is very uncharacteristic for him. He's usually ridiculously composed.
I predicted 1-1 for this match a couple of weeks ago but I was obviously hoping for better. My feeling has been that if we can come away from the first two matches with two points, we'll be in a good position...and I feel that even more strongly now. A point against Arsenal and more signs of us being able to play like we did in the first half, and our season will be off to a very promising start even without a win.
