Arsenal 1-1 'Pool
A rather stupid draw where our two star players ( Ade and Cesc ) were sent off and injured respectively. The least Xabi Alonso could do is to join Arsenal as compensation.
Ratings:
Almunia: 7.2 Saved well from Lucas and Kuyt, scared the crap out of that loser El Zhar and positioned well from corners.
Sagna: 6.7 Consistently Average. Provided a killer pass to Adebayor who attempted to trick Reina.
Djourou: 6.3 Has to be blamed for Keane's goal but did well later on.
Gallas 7.1: Had Gerrard in his pocket and even looked for an equaliser late on.
Clichy 7.0: Gael Force has assisted us once again, also putting Kuyt and Babel in his pocket.
Denilson 6.8: Looked really determined when Adebayor was sent off (!@#!%) and showed true character. This coming from a 20 year old Brazilian.
Fabregas 6.9: Mr. Captain was dragged off at half-time but was lively in the first half.
Song 6.8: Defensively calm and looked equally determined when Arsenal were with 10 men.
Nasri 7.3: Easily the man-of-the-match but his award was stolen by someone else. Played with real dexterity and truly tricked his way around the defence. Played an absolutely sensational ball to van Persie who scored a real cracker.
Adebayor: 6.5 Was a real handful until he was given a double yellow (WTH!) which was one of the WORST decisions I have ever seen in my life.
van Persie: 7.8 "ROBIN, VAN PERSIE!" was all I heard at the stadium. A superb goal worthy of combating Bentley's fluke against us.
Subs:
ABOU!: 6.9 Misplaced several passes but was a nifty player all day long.
Eboue: 6.7 Er. Didn't know he was there.
MAN OF THE MATCH: ROBIN VAN PERSIE
FLOP OF THE MATCH: HOWARD WEBB
(Aaron Ramsey)
