Agreed. Thought Koscielny was a 9 though, played with actual passion.

Arshavin - 4 pathetic. Just pathetic. Why is he still at Arsenal? He's about as useless as Squillaci.

don't hold back, kamran... tell us what you REALLY think

Mertesacker MOTM? are you crazy Kamran. The guys lack of pace is frightening. Got caught out of position so many times. If your naming a defender for motm then it is koscielny.

No rating for ramsey?

Kamran couldnt argue with them ratings







you have missed ramsey though

I think Kosc was MOTM - Mertesacker was done on the turn against Welbeck..

You missed Ramsey...

Ah i am blind

Djourou.

Was murdered in the first half.

Chamberlain - 8 very good performance from him, showed what all the hype is about.

------------------------------------------------------

5 stars just for that. Sums it up perfectly. Some blind fans and Wenger think he's not ready or he's not much better than what we have and also 'we can't pin up our hopes on an 18 year old.'

Well, pele started the WC final when he was 17. Brazil didn't 'pin up their hopes on him' but they knew he was something special so they played him.

Sorry fellas, just added Ramsey. He was worse than Song.

Szcz- 7
Djo- 4.5
Koz- 8.5
Mert- 5.5
Verm -8
Song- 5
Ramsey-5.5
Rosicky- 7
Walcott- 6
Oxlade Chambo-8
van persie- 7

Yennaris- 7
Park- 5
Arshavin-3

How can u say mertesacker was MOTM??

Koscielny man of the match, chamberlain just behind. Arshavin, I have no words for him anymore.

Walcott - 3

Ramsey.

Passenger.

Mert won 99% of stuff, headers, tackles, goal-line clearance, the lot.

Plus he has nice legs.

W.H.A.T.

Djourou was terrible. he was THAT bad. Positioning poor, tackling beyond poor. Constantly showing Nani onto the inside, ie. showing him ONTO HIS STRONGER FOOT.

So bad he was replaced by a boy, who totally outperformed him.

So bad Fergie told his team to simply target balls to Nani's feet asap for the whole first half.

So bad i began laughing when i saw him up against anyone.

THAT bad

Park and Chamberlain need to be our permanent wingers.

We don't know much about Park but he can't possible be worse than Walcott/Arshavin.

Chesney - 6

Djourou - 5
Kos - 7
Per - 7.5
Vermaelen - 6

Song - 4
Ramsey - 4
Rosicky - 7

Walcott - 3
Van Persie - 5
Chamberlain - 7.5

Park - n/a (touched the ball once in about 11 minutes)
Arshavin - 1
Yennaris - 6

Wenger is the cause of all our problems.

He is a hopeless fool.

Djourou a 6? Tell me you are just joking. Please put him and Arshawin off for ever. I dont want to see these guys in an Arsenal shirt again. Djourou deserved a -1 imo.

Ramsey, Walcott, Djorou and Wenger were all shocking, all should be given 3

Lets not overrate Yennaris...he didn't really have to face Nani for more than 5 minutes

Does Park even deserve a rating? I don't think he touched the ball even once

Well, pele started the WC final when he was 17. Brazil didn't 'pin up their hopes on him' but they knew he was something special so they played him.

verminator, i agree with you to an extent, although i would add that pele had an excellent brazil side behind him for support and guidance; as things stand, AOC would be the standout player as an 18-year-old, so i think that might be a bit too much for him to deal with. he needs to be in an environment where he can just focus on his game without the pressure of carrying arsenal into the top four.

having said that, for all the impact he made today, taking him off was potentially the decision that could cost wenger his job.

Batmanu, giving Kos just a 7 is really harsh. The guy is a one-man defensive machine.

People will hype about Van Persie but he is our real star. Let's hope pundits keep calling him $hit for a long time, may just stop the milan clubs or the spanish giants from scouting him.

Batmanu: Cant believe that you give Djourou a 5? Are you watching the game. The guy has no clue.

Youareverminated: Mertesacker had a very good game like Kos who was man of the match.
