Player Ratings - PL: West Ham United vs Arsenal | 05/11/06

[kel varnsen]

lehmann - 6.
completely botched one goal kick, but made another fine save. otherwise decent.

hoyte - 5,5
offered absolutely nothing going forward, but decent defensively.

toure - 7
solid and unlucky not to score a goal.

gallas - 7
solid

clichy - 6
ok, but a bit sloppy passing.

hleb - 6
a few decent touches, but otherwise fairly quiet. cheated out of a penalty when spector fouled him inside the box.

rosicky - 7,5
played very well in the first half and was our liveliest and most creative player today. should have scored though.

gilberto - 7
solid. gave the ball away a few times, but broke up the west ham breaks very well.

cesc - 3
piss poor. worst game i've seen in years from him. sloppy and careless on the ball and completely uninterested off the ball. gave the ball away countless times and reo-coker had him in his pocket all day...

van persie - 6
decent.

henry - 4
linked up with hleb and rosicky quite well a few times, but other than that he was absolutely shambolic. looked like he couldn't care less out there.

adebayor - 5
worked hard, but to no avail.

eboue - 7
great going forward.

 

[jester]

Henry terrible, Cesc terrible, Wenger terrible.
Disgrace, I wish we could take defeat normally instead of moaning constantly

[Lukazan]

Lehmann - 7 Horrid kick but we SHOULD be sat here talking about how he won us a point.

Hoyte - 6 Decent if not spectacular. Flamini on for Hoyte was the most pointless thing I've ever seen in my life.

Toure - 9 MOTM and brilliant. The best CB in the Prem easily.

Gallas - 7 A slip that could have been costly, but otherwise solid.

Clichy - 5 Decent enough game considering the lay off but nothing worth shouting about.

Hleb - 6 Looked a little tired but created a few things. Not sure taking him off was the right decision.

Fabregas - 3 Sorry but he was horrid. The usual awareness of what is around him wasn't there today and his passing was horrid.

Gilberto - 6 Meh.

Rosicky - 6.5 That miss was awful and unforgivable, but he did well today.

RVP - 4 "Why?" you ask, Mr RVP? Perhaps it's because you did **** all?

Henry - 5 Tried to create things but his passing and decision making was terrible at times, and has been all season tbh.

 

[Linson]

Unfortunately I have been unable to watch the game, whats happened? Apparently we should have had a penalty?

cesc same rating as gilberto and gallas? you really are funny sometimes... or maybe the scale just goes from 5 to 7?

rosicky's workrate is the only thing that has him on a higher rating than cesc and cesc was no worse than gilberto or gallas.

More or less the same for me. I'd probably drop Toure to 7.5 or so. He was our best player, but wasn't an 8 in my mind. Also, I'd give Cesc a 5. I think Henry at 6 is a good call. He wasn't at his best, but at least in the first half he was looking a bit like his old self, trying to run at defenders.

rosicky's workrate is the only thing that has him on a higher rating than cesc and cesc was no worse than gilberto or gallas.

what nonsense. rosicky made a number of good runs, passed the ball very well and was able to beat his defender a few times. cesc did absolutely nothing. if you honestly think that cesc' performance warranted a 6, when you only give rosicky a 7, then i think you either need to get your eyes checked out.

or maybe it's just this irrational hatred of your towards rosicky shining through. i mean, signing rosicky did effectively put an end to the ribery rumours...

 

[G0D]

Lehmann - 6 - Good save, dodgy kicking.
Clichy - 6 - Reasonable.
Toure - 7 - Solid defensively, unlucky not to score.
Gallas - 6 - Solid, except for the slip.
Hoyte - 6 - Solid defensively, but isn't good enough going forward.
van Persie - 6 - Played reasonably on the left, looked lively.
Rosicky - 7 - Our most creative midfielder, played well, except the shooting.
Gilberto - 6 - Did his job but gave the ball away abit.
Fabregas - 4 - Dwelled on the ball, little creativity, looked jaded.
Hleb - 5 - Not very creative, made some bad passes.
Henry - 6 - Not all that involved, but the odd nice run none the less.

Adebayor - 6 - Didn't do much, but at least he was actually trying.
Eboue - 7 - Impressed me when he came on, seemed to make a difference offensively.
Flamini - 5 - Offers what to the team?

 

[Clrnc]

lehmann 7 - saved us whole day long. he even almost saved that goal. kicking pretty crap though

hoyte 6 - not adventurous enough for me. when there is clear space, instead of dribbling and cross, he pass into the middle or back.

toure 8 - class act. worked hard all day long and unbeatable too. unlucky not to get a goal

gallas 6 - this is not what i am expecting of him. he is slipping and falling too many times this season. lost hold of harewood too for that goal.

clichy 7 - provided good width and attack on the left side. vulnerable to attack though. couldn't quite cover for gallas for that goal

gilberto 7 - won tackles well. good distribution

hleb 6 - did almost nothing today. won a penalty but not given.

rosicky 6 - clueless too.

rvp 6 - nothing

cesc 5 - rubbish

henry 5 - not deserving any comments

subs
flamini 5 - played well out of position and lost his player resulting in that goal

eboue 6 - good crosses

ade 5 - did nothing except a header

referee -10 - he should not ref any more top matches. really must reflect on his lousy eyesight and performance. i am sure he will be horrified when he see his decision.

 

[Mr. Hotshot]

Lehmann - 6 - Good save, nothing he could do with the goal
Hoyte - 6 - Fast and energetic, but he should have pushed forward more.
Toure - 7 - The best player on the pitch today, very strong
Gallas - 6 - Average
Clichy - 6 - Like sabre said, sloppy passing
Hleb - 5 - *sigh*
Gilberto - 6 - Average
Cesc - 5- dissapointing
Rosicky - 7 - Made some important tackles but I was expecting him to score goals
RVP - 6 - Could have produced something had he stayed on the pitch for a full 90
Henry - 5 - Looked well below par, again

 

[gstew]

Overall our worst performance of the season. Lack of intensity and slow ball movement hurt. We didn't deserve more than a point.

Flamini was unlucky on the goal as he made an excellent tackle and was possibly fouled as he got to the ball.

Cesc and Henry need a game off sometimes. I am looking forward to the returns of Baptista and Diaby to provide additional options.

Good to have Eboue and Clichy back. They will make a difference in attack.

lehmann - 7
hoyte - 6
toure - 9 - MOTM Excellence is his business and business is good
gallas - 6
clichy - 7 Looked very good until his lapse on the goal
hleb - 6.5
rosicky - 7
gilberto - 6.5
cesc - 5.5
van persie - 6
henry - 5.5

[gunnerGH]

Lehmann - 7 Good save-no chance with goal

Hoyte - 7 Not bad

Clichy - 5 Good in parts but defensicely not so good-his lack of concentration for the goal.

Toure - 7 Good performance

Gallas - 6 Okay

Hleb - 4 Poor passing, poor creativity. Not good enough once again

Fabregas -5 Looked tired and was overrun

Rosicky - 4 Missed golden chance and was also generall poor

Gilberto - 8 Arsenals Best player by far

RVP - 6 Didnt get into game on the wing because he aint a winger

Henry 6 - Poor-doesnt look sharp again



subs:

ade 7 - did well, caught offside too much though

flams 6 - nothing

eboue 6- run out

Special mention for ROB STYLES - 0/10 class a ****** who **** it all game. crumbled in the atmosphere and missed a stone wall penalty. What a ******

both made good off the ball runs however while tomas made better on the ball runs his decision making was criminal, on many of occasions he could've made decisive passes and ended up slowing down play or shooting when there was a man free. whether you're lauding tomas's performance or dismissive of cesc's i don't know. would i have taken off cesc ahead of tomas? yes. was tomas 'that' much better than cesc? no.
