that's what you'd think, but he had the over the shoulder strap onthe dawn raids said:
lehmann:
one of his easiest games of the season. 6
eboue:
offers a lot lot more than lauren attacking-wise, and also solid when defending. hope his performance won't dip like senderos did at the beginning of the season. 7
toure:
solid again. he is our fabio cannavaro. tidy and committed performance. 7
senderos:
one of his better performance this season. still has to learn how to distribute the ball better. 7
flamini:
at this rate he really should be going to the world cup..playing left back though..great stamina and commitment. another great piece of management by Arsène wenger. 7
hleb:
his ball control is second to none in the premiership. his passing can improve but in my opinion that is partly because he is STILL getting used to the arsenal style of passing. pacy, clinical and clever. 8
fabregas:
this boy has been outstanding for the last month or so. so calm and always able to make room for himself. is not the fastest physically but definitely one of the fastest mentally. great football brain and just kept passing through charlton's three-men midfield. 8
gilberto:
did well today against a midfield who offered little penetration against us. still can't avoid giving the ball away though..what has happened to him after vieira's departure? missing a bone in his foot? 6
pires:
a different player nowadays, but can still offer us calm and decisiveness in an inexperienced midfield. when playing against a less physical opposition, he can still be useful, like he was today. 7
adebayor:
fantastic work-rate. i personally don't think he gets enough credit in this forum since he works hard, he creates space well and he is always in good positions to score even though he doesn't put all of them away. 3 goals in his bag already, still 21 and the most important thing is he makes space for henry and fabregas to create. 8
henry:
just a genius, but he was a bit too cheeky today where he could've cracked a few in from long range but opted to do a clever pass which turned out to be a waste of opportunity. but he has been great since playing up front with adebayor. 7
subs:
bergkamp-classy touches and calm passes. 6
van persie-great to see him back. looks sharp. 6
song-looks even slower than gilberto both mentally and physically. wenger should've brought walcott on the bench instead of him because today was a good opportunity for theo. 5
good team performance, personally feel that we were only in third gear today. the next three weeks are cruical for our season. an away match at portsmouth which won't be easy and juventus matches sandwiched by man utd away. cannot afford to lose any of them.

Okay here goes:
Lehmann 7 --Nothing to do
Eboue -- 6 Not as effective as usual
Senderos 7 -- Solid on most occasions
Toure -- 8 Went for an 8 because he is consistent
Flamini -- 6 Can tell he isnt used to playing there but solid neverless
Hleb -- 9 Class when he has space to run into like todays game. Well Done more of the same please.
Fabregas -- 8 Brilliant again in the center. Passing was superb and bossed the midfield.
Gilberto -- 8 Did the job he is asked to do.
Bobby Pires -- 8 Completed an excellent team move with a classic Bobby finish. As well as completing an excellent midfield display
Adebayor -- 8 Caused trouble from the start, would have got a 9 if he had finished more decisively
Henry -- 9 Nothing more to say. La magnifique!
Overall- Top notch performance at home. Lets hope we can kill off Pompey early like we did to Charlton today to end any away day nerves.

Agree with Captain. van Persie is NOT going to take the place of Adebayor (except of course in CL matches) based on their CURRENT form.
Almost everyone says Adebayor needs to improve on his finishing. Yes true. But have you thought about it the other way round? Adebayor translates most balls to him into reasonable scoring opportunities!

since he said he wanted to emulate vieira's role when paddy left us...
gilberto's clearly not a box-to-box midfielder..
i'm glad he realized that he plays best when he acts as the anchor...
his tackles may be woeful sometimes but he actually slows down the opposition's gameflow and gives our boys to reorganize their positions and strengthen our fortress..
man i'm loving gilberto since the madrid game at bernabeu..
some of us including me called him fisherman earlier this season because all he did was laying his foot like a fishing rod but now meh...
he's a whale hunter (apologies to any animal activist here
)

I had a hard time picking MOTM yesterday which bodes well for this team. Most impressive for me were, in order, Hleb, Fabregas, Henry, Adebayor and Eboue.
I was always scared that Arsenal would lose its cutting edge with less than three of the Bergkamp, Henry, Pires, Vieira and Ljunberg alliance playing. The last few days have shown that new players are stepping up and our total football lives on.
On Adebayor. He is lovely. I was pessimistic at first, but he has some excellent lay offs, holds the ball up well and exhibited exquisite control in slipping the ball into the net as he fell to ground. Perfect form on his first half header that went just wide of goal as well. If we keep Henry, there is no need to add to the strikeforce of Henry, Adebayor, v Persie (and Walcott/Reyes) next season.
