Arsenal 2 – Everton 2 : Player ratings

MNB — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 08:12:28 +0000

Lucky Arsenal, the Gunners were at their worst while Everton were at their best, it is good that we did get the draw…
Not a good way at all to start our first premier league in 2010

Player ratings:
Almunia: 5.5 (Inconsistent form from this guy.)
Gallas: 6 (The way Tim Cahill escaped from him made me lose confidence in the defensive line.)
Vermaelen: 6 (Not his usual best.)
Traore: 6 (You can’t ask more from the third left back.)
Sagna: 6 (Most of the game he was in a battle with Pienaar.)
Denilson: 6.5 (Scoring a goal is the only good thing he did. I hope the injury is not serious.)
Diaby: 7 (The only player who was alive in the team.)
Ramsey: 5 (Good but needs more experience.)
Nasri: 5.5 (Bad passes, slowing the game down all the time.)
Arshavin: 6 (Woke up only the last 15 minutes.)
Eduardo: 7 (He had a good game.)

Subs:
Vela: 6 (Did okay the left side.)
Rosicky: 6.5 (Thank god he was not injured in this game!)
Merida: N/A

Portsmouth 1 – Arsenal 4 : Player ratings

MNB — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 09:17:09 +0000

As it did happen again, 4-1, but this time without our two best players. And this time much harder because it is an away-from-home match. But the Gunners did prove again how much they learned especially
Diaby, Song and Ramsey who were our skippers tonight. If I was hearing myself saying this 6 months ago, I would be laughing at myself.
I really loved how the fans did start to cheer Diaby and Song, they are really on their way to greatness.
That proves how much they have improved.

Player ratings:

Almunia:7 (Calm night for the goalkeeper not to much to do.)

Gallas:7 (Strong in the air and on the ground didn’t let anything happen.)

Vermaelen:7 (As usual consistent performance.)

Sagna:7 (Hard working in defence and offence.)

Traore:6.5 (Good performance overall. He looked much better than before.)

Song:8 (He had his own song and he scored his first goal of the season. What a way to end a year.)

Diaby:7.5 (Another great performance from the Frenchman. I hope he keeps performing great.)

Ramsey:8 (Wow, very pretty goal and one assist. Very good game from the 19 year old.)

Nasri:8 (Another great performance, an assist and his first goal in the league.)

Eduardo:6.5 (He is coming back but slowly. He looked much more confident after his goal.)

Arshavin:5.5 (Very tired. Had a great moment but he looks in another dimension.)

Sub

Rosicky:6 (Good game from the injury-prone player.)

Vela:N/a (Not enough time)

Eastmond:N/a (Not enough time)

Arsenal 3 – 0 Aston Villa : Player ratings

MNB — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 09:11:23 +0000

Firstly, many of us after the Hull city match said that we can play and cope without Fabregas. But it took Fabregas 28 minutes to prove to us that we are all wrong including me.
The bottom line of the match: “Without any doubt anymore, Fabregas is Irreplaceable”.

Player ratings:

Almunia:7 (I think he did well with crosses and set pieces against a team that most of their goals come from crosses and set pieces, good to see him performing well.)

Sagna: 6.5 (When it comes to defence, he is the best RB but still needs to work a lot on going forward.)

Traore: 7 (Cameback from injury and had a great game, produced a great pass to Walcott that did lead to the second goal.)

Vermaelen: 8 (Solid, Strong as always didn’t let anything pass him.)

Gallas: 7.5 (Made Agbonlahor and Heskey quiet, good game from him and made a great tackle against Agbonlahor in the last few minutes of the game.)

Denilson: 6.5 (Brilliant first half, had a back problem in the second half which lead to replace him.)

Song: 7.5 (The beast of the midfield, I will miss this guy, see you soon.)

Diaby: 8 (Brilliant match since he came back from injury and he has been playing very well, great game Abou.)

Eduardo: 6 (Worked hard especially in the few times that he had in the second half but he still needs a lot of time, really made me mad when he missed that chance.)

Arshavin: 6.5 (Struggled to make an impact at the beginning but when Fabregas entered he came back to life.)

Nasri: 6.5 (Busy on the Wings, good game from the Frenchman.)

Subs:

Fabregas: 10 (Came, Unleashed hell and left. Performance similar to Steve Austin in WWE. Made a great impact, scored two great goals then left as if to prove that he is irreplaceable.)

Walcott: 7 (He is coming back, not yet his best but good game from Walcott.)

Ramsey : N/A (Not enough time)
