Why does Song get a 6? Thought he was a monster in the first half. Dropped a bit in the second but was still more than decent.

 

[yuvken]

Hard to call between Fab and VP - 8.5 each, but I give it to Fab -
some of the things he did today were simply outrageous.
VP and Fab are now the level we all knew they can be - in my mind in any first 11 in the world.
Clichy, Jack and Song each get 8's too, while Theo and bac just behind that -
ALL these people mentioned had very very good games.
Nas was good too, and DJ-Kos as well - they just were not tested that much.
And Chez - he really had nothing at all to do... Fantastic performance, if not
for Habsi game it would have been astronomic.

[The Sleeper]

Very easy game but no major mistakes today so I'll give them all at least a 7.

Song and Sagna 8.

Robin the "Postman" van Persie and Cesc 9 (deserved a goal but oh well).

Good to see Jack taking a shot from outside the box, needs to improve on those but he has to try now and then. He seems to find himself in good positions for that quite often in games, so he needs to develop his shooting to take advantage of it.

Song had a decent performance. He broke up play, made some progressive passes, misplaced some others and constantly fell down. Managed to grab an important assist, and drove forward, but otherwise he was just a pawn for Fabregas and van Persie.

Shue. I'm a bigger fan of van Persie's then I've ever let on. He's now producing at a level that I expect from our main CF. With most big teams having a goal per game attacker, it was so important that we had one too. He's got 5 in the last 3 which is exactly the type of numbers I want to see. I absolutely love it.

[Y va marquer]

I'd give MOTM to Robin "nearly God" van Persie.
He just shades it over Cesc by virtue of the fact he scored all 3 goals.

Overall I thought it was a wonderful performance, the kind of display that makes you believe that anything is possible.

I'm sure some people will have seen some negatives but I didn't today

Created the penalty too.

 

[outlaw_member]

Ah, the pre-assist to the penalty?

I don't know, I personally didn't think much of Song. Just did his job in the team, and let the better players do the business.

6 in his last 3 isn't it?

Also, I wouldn't read anything into the penalty miss. I could see how much he wanted it written all over his face when he stepped up, first hatrick in professional football and all that, and he went for the top corner blaster, I knew he'd miss it - he would never do that when it really mattered. He was always going to score after though, he looked a man on a mission.

Missed the first half, so can't really comment too much on the performance, but we looked good second half, if a little slack at times.

I'm really surprised at the lack of recognition for Jack, maybe he had a disappointing first half? But I thought he was majestic in the second. His passing, his touch, his dribbling, just a pleasure to watch.

 

[arsenallegends]

Plus the amount of ground the lad eat up off the ball.

 

[outlaw_member]

Yep, you're right Ricky, it's 6 goals in 3 games.

The first half was one of the most dominant displays, ever. We couldn't finish for ****, though.

Wilshere adds great momentum to an attack, and has the ferocity off the ball which we've often lacked in midfield. His passing leaves a lot to be desired, though, and that's his biggest weakpoint at the moment.
