Player Ratings - LC: Arsenal vs Chelsea | 25/02/07

[kel varnsen]

almunia - 6. meh, ok.

hoyte - 6. decent.

senderos - 5. ok, but played drogba offside once and let him get away once in the box. result: two conceded goals.

toure - 6. very good game, but started fighting and got a red card. stupid.

traore - 5,5. decent, but not really ready.

walcott - 7. kept it simple and scored a great goal. good game.

cesc - 6. ok, but very sloppy passing at times.

denilson - 6. good game, but has to take a lot of the blame for drogba's second goal. giving the ball away there is unforgivable.

diaby - 8,5. excelent performance. covered lots of space, superb dribbling and passing and tracked back very well. MOM

aliadiere - 5. worked hard, but his passing was awful. a lot of our attacking moves broke down because of him.

baptista - 6. meh, ok i guess.

 

[Rocafella]

Don't think you were watching the first half. You're negativity never ceases to disappoint.

 

[kel varnsen]

nah, a good first half and mediocre second half, with a terrible ending, warrants said ratings...

I know people are going to be shocked here, but I don't agree with your rating for Ali. I thought he was a 6 at best. He gets a 6 for working hard. His passing and touch let him down today. I supposed we can't be too hard on him, he has been pretty good in the last 6 weeks. He had an off game. I agree with your rating for Bap.

Apart from lose the ball with his ridiculously bad touch and blast a free kick into a wall, what did he do? He is not Arsenal standard, I thought he was about 22 but he's 25 (correct me if I'm wrong) and so I don't think he will be good enough with respect to the younger players we got coming through. As for your last comment I think your head needs to come out of your arse.

[Lukazan]

Almunia - 6 Perhaps could have done better with Drogba's first goal, had no chance wit hthe second.

Hoyte - 7 Typical Hoyte, unspectacular but did his job well.

Senderos - 5 Bullied by Drogba again unfortunately, and was involved in both Chelsea's goals.

Toure - 7.5 Absolutely solid.

Traore - 6 Did better than I thought he would but as soon as Robben came on the skinning for fun started...

Walcott - 7 Impressive and much better than he has been in recent months. What a goal too..

Fabregas - 6.5 Not as careful with his passing as usual but played very well otherwise.

denilson - 6 Impressive heart and fight but was abit sloppy on the ball at times and gave the ball away for Drogba's winning goal.

Diaby - 9.5 Wow. I'd say a pretty much perfect performance tbh. I don't think he gave the ball away once. Tackled hard, drove forward, made Lampard and Ballack look ****e and was just just brilliant. He went off and the game turned. Sabre, were you watching?

Aliadiere - 4.5 Not really involved much and didn't do anything with a great chance he got late in the second half.

Baptista - 5 Wasted good chances time and time again but always looked a threat. Did he play second half? I honestly didn't see him once!

 

[OneProudGooner]

Almunia: 6

Hoyte: 7

Kolo: 7

Senderos: 5.5 Drogba got the better of him again

Traore: 7

Walcott: 7 Went past Bridge easily an unusual outlet on the right wing for once.

Fabregas: 6 Closed down Ballack, Essien and Lampard well but gave ball away too many times. Centre backs lacked protection.

Denilson: 7 See above

Diaby: 8 A constant threat

Ali: 6 Worked hard without threatening much

Baptista: 6 First touch was FINE today, linked up well and was threatening. Very good first half disappeared after second along with most of the team.

 

[Pepe LeFrits]

Despite the outcome I think we can be very pleased with the team today. I didn't think Cesc or Denilson had the best of games, but they still bossed Makelele, Essien, Lampard and Ballack for long periods of the game, which I think tells you something.

That was definitely Diaby's best game since returning from injury. Lets just hope he isn't injured again.

I thought Traore had his best game in the red and white also.

 

[spartan239]

Almunia- 6.5 had 1 save to make and did it well couldnt have dont much about the first and the second was unsaveable imo

Hoyte-7 Tracking back was a little suspect at times

Toure-5 Would have been an 7.5 if not for the fight with Mikel

Senderos-6.5 Traling leg and a bit of ball watching for the second goal

Traore-7 Did very nicely going forwards needs to work on his defensive game.

Walcott- 7.5 Superb finish, worked hard and played with confidence gave Bridge a far harder time than he did Warnock

Fabregas- 6.5 (loses a mark or so for the fighting)

Denilson- 6.5 Drifted in and out

Diaby- 8.5 Was out best player today, Vieira incarnate at times, went off with a slight injury anyone know anything abotu that?

Ali- 7.5 Worked very hard, decent performance

Baptista- 5.5 invisible large parts of the match, first touch let him down.

subs-
Hleb-6
Eboue-5 partialy at fault for the second goal, bit rusty
Ade- 4 didnt do anythign but get himself sent off

 

[Gurgen]

Almunia 6 - Should have saved the first goal.

Hoyte 7 - Solid.

Toure 7 - Mad but played well.

Senderos 6 - Unlucky against Drogba again, but otherwise solid. At fault for the first goal.

Traore 6 - I thought he was getting into the game when Wenger took him off.

Walcott 7 - Lively game and a brilliant Henry goal.

Denilson 7 - A bit more sloppy than usual, but he always performs above average.

Diaby 9 - Immense. Dominated the has beens in their midfield.

Aliadiere 6 - Worked hard but it didn't come off for him.

Baptista 6 - See Aliadiere.

 

[awooga83]

Almunia: 6 Made some decent saves though at fault for the first goal

Hoyte: 7 Solid

Kolo: 4 Why react to something so little, he had already got the foul and started a terrible moment for us and he was the captin, should have known better, played a good game and would ahve been a 7

Senderos:6 Drogba wins the battle again but he was better against him not much consolation

Traore: 7 some nice runs

Walcott: 7.5 Glad he got his goal

Fabregas: 6 Poor attitude in the scuffle costs him a point he needs to not always get involved especially in stupid things like that

denilson: 7 Decent game

Diaby: 8 Best player on the pitch whilehe was on, great runningand passing

Ali: 5 An off day today, but tried things all game

Baptista: 6 Slowed the game at times but caused some problems

Hleb: 6 Didn't have much time for impact i

Eboue: 4 Didn't do much still has a bad mentality at times

Ade:3 If he swung a punch that is stupid
