I missed parts of the match though, think I missed one or two of Almunia's crucial saves, but what I saw of him was good.

The weather was horrid in the second half and the ref blew the whistle like 40-60 times which killed the game. The fouls were very MINOR. Frustrating match.

[qs]

Almunia - 6 made one save, not a bad game
Diarra - 7 our best player
Song - 6 I thought he was ok, he's improving
Gallas - 6 didn't do a great job as captain IMO
Clichy - 7 basically ended up playing fullback and winger. Found it hard to release the ball but there was rarely a pass on.
Walcott - 4 worst game of the season, nothing came off for him. Extremely frustrating.
Denilson - 4 his worst game too, couldn't handle the pressure in midfield
Gilberto - 5 didn't do enough for a player of his standing, should've made life easier for Denilson and Diaby
Diaby - 7 did well considering how bad the rest were, worked hard, looked decent
Eduardo - 4 anonymous. He's not a winger though so its not his fault.
Bendtner - 7 worked hard, made the best of it considering he had zero service

Eboue, Adebayor - both added something, both should have come on earlier.

My Rating's;

Almunia - 7. Played well, couple of good saves.

Diarra - 8. Played really well, so strong. As soon as I watched him play I knew he was a player. Flamini, Diarra is coming for you.

Gallas - 7. Organised well, and was trying to drive us forward at the end.

Song - 6. Average, doen some good things but made some rudimentary errors.

Walcott - 5. Rubbish, nothing came off for him. He needs to heed Wenger's wise words about his aggression levels.

Gilberto - 5. Didnt look like he wanted to be there. When he stopped because he wanted a free-kick and they nearly scored, so unlike him. He is gone in January.

Denilson - 4. Movement didnt help him but boy was he poor. His distribution was shocking, his tackling and positioning were shocking. He was genrally shocking.

Diaby - 6. Started brightly but achieved nothing and faded as the game wore on.

Eduardo - 5. Didnt have any service, and was a passenger for the most part.

Bendtner - 6. Pathetic service to him. Did some good things, bad things and a couple of great things.

Bendtner 5

Clichy is the only member of my defense to score less than 7 because he decided to mimic Walcott with numerous runs into crowds. Yes, Walcott was back to his old tricks. Diaby must've set a record for energy expended without meaningful result.

Diarra was best player on the park by a distance.

5 is average.......

Almunia - 7 A decent game; clean sheet;; had more challenges than Slavia's GK
Diarra - 7.5 The feistiest Gunner on the pitch.....doesn't take crap from anybody....
Song - 6 For the most part, did his job well; good learning experience...
Gallas 6 Did okay....Didn't let in any cheap goals, although it almost happened....Seemed slightly out of sorts............
Clichy 7 Made some decent runs; showed some spirit which was rare from the team on the whole.
Walcott 4 What a disastrous performance...
Denilson 4 Another player who was KO'd.....Very disappointing
Gilberto 4.5 Geez, show your experience; help the young lads out.....Very disappointing......
Diaby 6.5 Sporadically showed flashes of quality.........Tried the hardest of all the midfielders, especially the 1st half..
Eduardo 4 Hardly saw him touch the ball in the 1st half....Maybe once....Improved a little in the 2nd half....
Bendtner 6.5 Worked hard; really like his athleticism;
Eboue 6 Showed some energy, a part from that dumb dive he took.........
Ade 6 Well, he got his head on the ball for a shot....Sorry he wasn't on earlier........

All in all, a disappointing game, outplayed by a team of inferior quality..........Good things to come out of it: we qualify, no injuries, Diarra and Bendtner were bright spots..........

Almunia MOTM, quite simply.

One good save and one or two standard saves, wow what a hero. Talk about skewing **** to suit your previous arguments.

[HollandGooner]

Almunia MOTM, quite simply.

One good save and one or two standard saves, wow what a hero. Talk about skewing s**t to suit your previous arguments.

It was simply not good enough from our boys?
We create nothing maby a few little chances but thats it?
and Almunia make some very good save one or two? its harsh to call him inmidiatly men of the match but wich players is it then?

We all know that our players can play a few more levels higher specially Denilson he has so much ingredients to dictate a match, it was simply not good enough from everybody.

I will take my words back calling Almunia MOTM that was maby a little harsh...

 

[qs]

Yeah the team generally were terrible but I thought Diarra deserved huge credit because he played well despite his team mates being so poor.
