0-0 draw at St James Park
Lehmann - 6, did well and was back to his confident self. The contract talks must be helping. Only one real scare, but wasnt really tested
Eboue - 5, An obvious lack of confidence, although there were Sp**s where he was a threat.
Gallas - 7, did well, covered well with Toure, and seemed to talk alot around the defence.
Toure - 6 was just OK, seemed a bit nervous whenever Newcastle came forward. He relies on his speed, and tends to let the forward play loose.
Clichy - 7.1, Arsenal's best on ground. Apart from a couple of attacking errors, his defensive work was solid
Hleb - 6, again started well, early shot was promising. However either from an injury or mental exhaustion he was subbed. Had a few effective passes.
Diaby -5, Promising, but still is he ready to play in 4-5-1. Help me on this one
Gilberto -5, would of liked to have seen better. Gave the ball away too much. However, was strong in defensive half.
Fabregas - 6, he is Arsenal's man to rely on. Produced well, and held the midfield at times of unease. Has the same problem as Hleb, if not worse, he needs to shoot!
Ljungberg - 6.5, played well in comparison to the rest of the team. His never say die attitude was really shown, however, he is past his prime.
Adebayor - 4, poor finishing, poor first touch, was idle and didnt give Hleb or Ljungberg anything to work with. Needs a good ol pimp slap
SUBS:
Baptista - 5, had 30mins to prove, but again failed.
Aliadiere - 5, false sense of hope when he came on. We all wished that he would pull some not so miraculous finish, but it didnt happen.
Overall, a horrible display. We need to bring in another striker really! Who else we got?
