With the exception of RVP, I want to give all the players different marks for the first 60 and the last 30. All players for the first 60 mins get a 5. Completely different shape to the team and approach to get the ball in the area after Vela comes on, and everyone improves. Exactly the same as against Portsmouth.
Almunia 5/7
Sagna 5/7
Touré 5/7
Djourou 5/7
Clichy 5/7
Eboue 5/
Denilson 5/7
Diaby 5/na
Nasri 5/7 - it's too much to ask him to be both ballcarrier and creative player. Bringing Vela on provided a second creative midfielder and we thrived.
RVP 8/8 - thanks Robin, you are doing it every match now, and carrying Arsenal through a rough period.
Ade 3/3 - still the same idiot standing in an offside position all game, no awareness, lazy positional sense, average heading, poor control.
Vela na/8 - the catalyst. it's not just Vela himself, it's the way the team changes shape when the triumvirate of boredom (Diaby/Denilson/Eboue) is broken up that things happen. Loved it when he went it for two consequetive heavy challenges... he'll succeed where Reyes didn't.
Bendtner 7 - did the simple stuff well, the creativity that RVP can achieve is not there yet Nic !
Ramsey 7 - did his job well.
