Agree with this except that I'd lower Bendtner's to a 6.

 

[Meatwad]

sylvestre does my head in. the guy is 30+ and goes walk about like a 22 year old defender. he did have some good moments though.

We were complaining in previous games that there wasn't anyone in the box to deliver crosses to. Bendtner was in the right place all day long, and the deliveries were great. Of course the striker's job is to put it in the net, but overall, he had a good game. If you do the right thing, success will come.

 

[Lazaq]

Almunia: 6 Makes me very nervous. Please Wenger, get us a proper goalie this summer.

Eboue: 7 Fine.
Vermaelen: 8 His usual reliable performance.
Silvestre: 5 His usual unreliable performance.
Clichy: 7 Fine.

Denilson: 5 Bleh.
Fabregas: 7 Please please please don't miss the Porto game!
Nasri: 9 Please please please play centrally more, for it is awesome.

Rosicky: 6 Some nice runs, but no that threatening.
Bendtner: 6 Was very good, aside from the fact that he couldn't finish. For ****.
Walcott: 8 End product is still so-so, but he was much better today.

 

[otfgoon]

Al - 7. Fairly solid

Eboue - 7. Another good attacking performance
Verm - 7. Covered well on several occasions
Silvest - 5. I'm one of those who claim people are too hard on him, but he was a cancer in the defence today
Clichy - 7. Looking like the player he once was

Denilson - 6. Commited, but lost several of his challenges.
Nasri - 9. MotM in any other game, superp. Thrived in his more natural position.
Cesc - 7. As good as always before going off.

Walcott - 9. MotM, absolutely superb.
Bendtner - 4. Could have so easily have been a 9
Rosicky - 7.5 Some great turns and linked play really well

Diaby - 6.5
Eduardo - 6.
Arshavin - 6.5

 

[Del Boy]

Not sure how jokers like Bendtner and Silvestre are getting 6 and 7s. I must have been watching another game. Silvestre is absolutely terrible and Bendtner had some of the worst finishes I have seen in years.

 

[Ricky_AFC]

Almunia - 6

Eboue - 7
Silvestre - 5 - ****.
Vermaelen - 7
Clichy - 7

Denilson - 6.5
Nasri - 9 - Beautiful game and brilliant assist for Cesc.
Diaby/Cesc - 7 each

Walcott - 9 - Very nice and important goal. And could have had 3 or 4 assists had people taken the chances he put on a plate for them. Big f**k you to his critics.
Rosicky - 7 -
Bendtner - 5 - Had a terrible day in front of goal but kept getting in there and we looked way more threatening with him on the pitch.

 

[Gunner_JT]

Almunia 6

Eboue 7
Vermaelen 8
Silvestre 5
Clichy 7 - First half 6, second 8.

Denilson 6
Fabregas 8 - Cheeky goal
Nasri 9 - Nasri stepped it up, he revels in the CM role

Walcott 9 - Outstanding
Bendtner 6
Rosicky 6

Subs - 6

[jay-d]

Almunia - 7

Eboue - 7 - Perfect RB for these games.
Vermaelen - 7 - Solid Carried Silvestre all game.
Silvestre - 4 - Very bad player.
Clichy - 6 - Good but left his self exposed at times when there was no need to.
Denilson - 5 - I used to rate him highly but he's just to slow and weak to play CM for us.
Cesc - 7 - Good goal, hope its not to serious
Nasri - 9 - Great assist and ball retention a very skillful player under rated by many.

Walcott - 9 - Much better Theo that's what he will do once he gets a run of games.
Bendtner - 5 - He tried but his finishing way awful, he should have been livid with himslef and not smiling and chewing gum at the end. Good player but I can see why Ade chinned him.
Rosicky - 6.5 - Mixed bag

Diaby - 6.5

 

[Shue]

Not sure how jokers like Bendtner and Silvestre are getting 6 and 7s. I must have been watching another game. Silvestre is absolutely terrible and Bendtner had some of the worst finishes I have seen in years.

There's more to being a lone striker than finding the net. Bendy linked well, created space, Klaus is correct with the 7.

 

[est]

Kudos to Almunia for one of the best distributions in a long long time.

Silvestre was a cancer to the defense. Vermaelen looks lost on the right. Can't wait till Sol/Gallas are back.

Theo and Nasri were very good. Let's hope they keep this up.

Arshavin looked very lazy. Fantastic goal though. I still can't understand how he manages to create such power with almost no backlift at all. Placement couldn't have been any better too.
