Chamberlain and Benayoun can hold their head high. Every time the Ox got the ball, he was a threat, and nearly every time he did something extremely useful.

If Gervinho carries on being as clinical infront of goal as Emile Heskey, then Chamberlain will surely take his spot.

How did Coquelin and Frimpong get on?

The match thread was a little hard to get details like that from and I couldn't be doing with trying to stream the match.

Ta.

I got to say that the defeat has really brought out the dark humour. Just reminds me of someone once referring to Heskey as a Striker - no matter where he was on the pitch but he could always hit the keeper!!
