Match report
1st half
We were shocked by a violent challenge on Eduardo,and the game had to be "stopped" for about 8-9 minutes.Taylor wad awarded straight red card though.
We could be probably distracted by this incident.We controlled the game but we lacked sharpness and some creativity.As expected,Blues played their entire players to defend against us.
When you fail to score,we get punished.And this time,there in no exception.McFadden skillfully curved the free-kick to make Birmingham fans thrilled with 1-0 lead against EPL leader.
Then,we still control the game and had lots of attacks but it seems Birmingham who had quality of attack.
So it could be summed up that,we lacked creativity to score.Our attack weren't sharp enough.
2nd half
In second-half,we still dominated the game.
Our equaliser came when Ade's header made the goalkeeper lost the ball and Walcott scored his ever first EPL goal in this game.This made me thinking about Adebayor's first goal,which were also scored at St Andrews stadium.
5 minutes later,Walcott again took advantage that there weren't many Blues defender surrounding him and he scored again to make us lead by 1-0.
There were lots of chances where we could score but somehow,we lacked confidence and cold-blooded touch in this game.
Again,when you fail to score,you get punished.
At 92nd minute,Clichy careless mistake again costs us two points in EPL.Birmingham were awarded a penalty kick from Clichy's challenge at penalty box.
McFadden again just easily denied our 3 points at their home with his penalty score.
Comments on this game
What to say?I'm of course frustrated with this result.Hopefully it would teach us to be more cold-blooded in our play.
If Adebayor was more sharp and focussed in his finishing,no one will give a look on that penalty kick.We didn't score when we could,we think that 2-1 win is enough for us.
In fact,there were many times when we just let go our chance with finishing half-heartedly.And I hope we know to score when we can to.

Terrible scoreline, a bottomless team who played with 10 men all match!!!
I mean, as fan , I understand we have to be patient with our team. This is just the youth in them that makes them come up with these results, like you said "no cold blooded touch".
Against AC Milan, 17 shots on goal and nothing, NADA! Even Seedorf said in an article that Arsenal should have really scored. Back to St Andrews, 10 Men Birmingham scores 2 goals against league Leaders Arsenal!!! That is absolutely terrible, I would be furious if I was a manager! In the end, the question begs: How can we be mad if we don't win the Premiership. We controlled our destiny and messed it up. Maybe Patience is the key, we are asking Teens to become Men in half a season. If we come up short this season, there's no reason to discourage, this is a great season, and we will achieve our peak in couple of years. Hang in there Arsenal Faithful, hang in there.

We drew this game now because of our lack of experience.
About AC Milan game,we did not had the quality of attacks,which is the main aspect in our attacking.
Even Wenger mentioned that our strikes only on the center of the goal,and no wonder the goalkeeper could easily cope with them.
We did not need to achieve our peak to win EPL title.We could win them with current force.But our players' mentality is the most important in this aspect.
