Ratings and post-match discussion vs Braga

[Klaus Daimler]

Special mentions:

* Cesc. 10/10. What else can you give someone who racks up two goals and a hattrick of assists?

* Arshavin. 9/10. One goal, two assists. Magnificent display.

* Vela. 9.5/10. Can't really give him any lower score when he pulls a brace out of his hat in a twenty-five minute substitution.

* Wilshere. 9/10. What a special player he is. It's frightening to think about what he'll look like with a full season under his belt. Great assist to Chamakh.

* Chamakh. 9/10. Awesome player. Awesome holdup play, great technique, neat distribution. Is showing the world right now why he's one of the best strikers in Europe.


Everyone else gets an 8.

 

[Lord Dula]

a joy to watch today. think having wilshere in the middle helps us to dominate, and get the ball neatly to out wide forwards

chamakh is so clever and willing

squillaci and koscielny look mighty clever n all

luvvy jubbly

[Meatwad]

so vela's last 40 minutes on the pitch has produced a hat trick. you my boy candle.

 

[squallkid]

Arshavin 10- What a game from the little Russian, class throughout and only the woodwork stopped him from getting another goal to add his tally of 1 goal and 2 assists

Fabregas 10- El Capitan, the Maestro, the leader, the man who got 2 assists and 2 goals. I'm sure he will get 10s from everyone

Wilshere 9- Is this kid 18? He looks class and fits into our game so nicely. The heir to the throne perhaps


Song 8- Great performance from our Buffalo soldier. Broke up play nicely and kept things ticking over in Midfield.

Sagna 9- Typical Sagna performance, one of our most consistent performers at the club.

Squillaci 9- Class at the back

Koscielny 9- He is improving after each game and he along with Squillaci kept Braga quiet all night

Clichy 9- He's beginning to look like the Clichy of old


Chamakh 10- Christ knows where we would be without Chamakh

Vela 9- For he's a jolly good Vela!, what more do you want? 2 goals in 25 minutes. Well done Vela


Denilson 8- Slotted in nicely

Eboue 8- He also slotted in nicely

Thought I forgot someone

Nasri -8 Great tidy performance from the Frenchman

 

[Gooner_Stu]

Almunia - 7 Didnt have much to do, but did it when needed.

Sagna 7 - Got alot better as the game went on
Koscielny 7.5 Solid
Squillaci 7.5 Solid
Clichy - 7

Song 7. Didnt look all that in the 1st half, better in the 2nd
Wilshere 9 - He's how old? Scary to think what he could be like in 5 years..
Nasri 7.5 Looked in to it, but i want to see more shots!!
Fabregas 10 Like i need to write anything
Arshavin 8

Chamakh 9 - Excellent work rate, team play, build up, ability infront of goal etc etc etc

Denilson - 7
Eboue - 7
Vela - 8 Excellent impact sub. Keep at it son.

 

[Kain]

Chamakh & Cesc were outstanding, really looking forward to seeing them destroy teams on a regular basis this season.

 

[rich 1990]

I'll be generous

Manny-8 Solid
Sagna- 7
Squaely-8
Kos- 9 T'rrific
Clichy-7

Song-6 Not his best. Too far foward, particularly in the first half.
Fabregas- 10 Better than sex(or what i would imagine it to be like)
Wilshere-9 Loooovely display, especially first half

Shava-9 He's a weird one but a genius nonetheless.
Nasri- 7
Chamack-9 Class

Subs

Vela-9 T'rrific cameo but i still have my reservations
Denilson-7
Eboue-7

Quality performance all round 8))

Can't be bothered to rate our team, everyone did well

Braga -0 ruined it as a spectacle, was too easy it became a joke. You really are crap if you can't put Almunia under pressure once and Cesc the midget is scoring headers against you.

 

[Lord Dula]

Lol. Cesc isnt a midget

Impossible look past Cesc for MOTM. What a performance.

Chamakh looked like he's been here forever - I love his work rate, his willingness to get into good positions and his touch. Top class start from the guy!

Nasri looked sharp, Kos and Squillachi looked solid, while Jack continues to show glimpses of sheer raw talent.

All in all a great all round performance.

Kudos to the team

[giuliob]

They were so up for this one. Very impressive..

Al - 6.5 No knock on Al, just not much to do
Sagna - 7 Solid, typical Sagna except for the yellow
Kos - 8 Big, big heart, desire, excellent
Squallici - 7.5
Clichy 8.5 Haven't seen him play with such ferocity in a long time.
Song - 6 Still clumsy and a bit careless with his passes
Cesc - 9.5 El maestro, outstanding playmaker, 2 goals and pacy!
Jack - 8.5 Tough bugger, huge football brain
Nasri - 7.5
Chamakh - 9 Brilliant, what a find

Congrats lads!

 

[Pepe LeFrits]

22/22 votes for Cesc, ha ha ha.

Hate to give it to Cesc for the 2nd game in a row when so many played so well, but it'd be criminal not to.

Proof's ratings are pretty much spot on. Maybe an extra .5 for Vela and Nasri.

 

[famous no 10]

Can't be bothered to rate everyone, but what a display! This team looks special, and players like JW, Vela and Nasri look like they've "grown up". Like the look of the 2 cb's as well, class.

Fabregas. What a player....and Chamakh's work rate and understanding is quite brilliant.

...and yeah, Braga looked terrible, but we made them look like that. Before the match, they were supposed to be pretty good.
