I wonder a player like Pato or Kaką would have done instead of Rooney.

Thought I would post the quote here as I don't think its right in the Pato thread.
I'm not saying Rooney didn't have a good game as he was immense but I'm sorry was this the same Rooney that has tore up the Arsenal defense on all our last three meetings with United? For the games in the past he has been in Kolo's back pocket, just like Ronaldo has always been in Clichy's back pocket. That performance was a 1 off and if it happens again I would be very surprised. Every team has had performances this season which they would want to forget and we can choose the best players from both teams Kaka, Hleb, Ade, Pato etc and say 'I wonder what these players would do in such a weak performance by the opposition.'
To judge an Arsenal FA Cup game and think you will face the same team is as stupid as judging Kaka on a few Seria A games.
Before Kolo went to the ACON the cb paring of him and Gallas was probably the best in the PL and again Rooney was kept quiet in the game at the Emirates. The only worry I have is that Kolo has not been the same player ever since he recovered from the injury at the ACON. He was wrong footed for one of the goals against Egypt and that is very rare to see from a player of his caliber.
Still hoping for a cracker game tomorrow, soo nervous.
