Bottom line is he shouldn't have been doing it. Fair enough, but if he’d beaten Alonso there would have been more players to dribble through. Bottom line is he shouldn’t have been doing it.

It isn't semantics Daryl. Also, just saw the Carsley challenge on Torres again. Taylor > Diaby > Carsley? Maybe. But not by much. Alonso isn’t a crowd. It isn’t semantics Daryl.

Yakubu is definitely trying to dribble, he just doesn't get very far. Video here: http://101greatgoals.magnify.net/item/4TRBL1Z4QKG6CHPN When the ball comes to Yak he does a stepover and turns, but Alonso gets a toe in before he can get away. You can question the semantics, but Yakubu was trying to be flash in a place that he shouldn't have been and it cost Everton a goal. Matt, I just watched the Torres goal again.

Yakubu picked up a botched Alonso handle and Alonso stuck with it to poke it free and forward. Sure Yakubu didn't clear it, but he didn't dribble through a crowd either. Huh?

The only difference between the two tackles, really, was luck and the resulting injury. Diaby's was every bit as dangerous. I don't hear calls for banning him, though. Wenger has to be kidding.
