Diaby - 7 - Dreadful,

eh...
I don't think he was dreadful but from your rating, I don't think you do either!

Well, he made a big impact in the end, and that obviously counts for a lot.

His passing was utter turd though, and it was nothing better than the usual fancy Diaby turns finished off with complete ****e distribution. Denilson was much better, and overall more influential, and that takes some saying coming from me.

Can't agree with that at all - 2-3 goal kicks went straight out, and there were plenty of blind hoofs right up the middle.

A much improved game otherwise, but he wasn't greatly tested, and his kicking still left a lot to be desired.

Almunia's distribution? I thought it was just as supbar as usual.

agreed, cannot count how many times his kicks either went to no one or staight to the opposing team. been the same all year.. that is one thing I noticed when Mannone of Fabianski are in goal is that at least their kicks usually go near one of our players, Manny's just do not. think its one of the worst parts of his game.. he just gives the ball back to the other team every time he kicks it..

Its been a problem for ages i think. Lehmann was just as bad. I remember the away games in Europe during our CL run in 06 and every kick we gave the ball back by lumping the ball towards Henry. It really needs to be addressed because its not that hard to fix.

 

[USArsenal]

Lehmann was never as bad as Almunia.. i really havent seen a keeper with worse aim on their kicking than Manny

I remember the year we got to the final that Jens massive throws were constantly kick starting our counter attacks down the wing.

Ye i exaggerated a little, Almunia's distribution is worse. I still think its something that could easily be improved. Our defence should take a short pass more often for starters.

 

[alboots101]

they did v Hull....well i thought so anyway..Armor.

 

[Armor for Sleep]

Ye a small bit boots. Hull played deeper than most teams which made it easier.
