Dead accurate Asa. Except for Cesc, I'd give him a 7.
How can the fact that he was covering back in defence be considered a negative. I could maybe understand it if he was playing as a striker but he wasn't.Ratinho said:Reyes - 6 (might have been more had he not had to spend the night covering for Cygan)
RocktheCasbah said:Jens- 6. Some s***e kicking
Ralph- 7. Tempted to give him an extra mark for the hack at Ronaldo.
Cygan- 6. Adequate. Made some good tackles, but does seem to have brain lapses too frequently.
Toure- 8. Business as usual for Kolo.
Campbell- 9. Big improvement and, for the most part, kept United's goal threat down.
Gilberto- 7. Better than of late.
Fabregas- 7. If only he could have kept his first half level up, he was magnificent, but died in the second half.
Hleb- 7. Another improvement, we really died after he went off.
Pires- 7. If only he could have taken either of those chances. Nonetheless some good running and intelligent passing.
Reyes- 9. Arsenal's biggest threat on the night, worked tremendously hard, skillful, fast and getting stronger.
Henry- 5. This lone striker business ain't for him really, is it?
Flamini, Bergkamp- 6
Eboue-7. Just for the clearance.

Bizarre.

maybe i shouldnt be surprised. there is a desparation for him to do well that i cant understand. on some of his worst performances, we still get his name being sung at highbury. maybe its the work rate. could explain why pires is hated so much too. but we cant forget his priority should be in offesnive duties.
kel varnsen said:you also say his priorities should be the offensive duties; are you forgetting that cygan was playing left back? reyes had to protect him. don't know how many times reyes helped cygan out covering ronaldo.

So Hleb has no ball control?Kha0z said:Ji Sung Park.
What Park lacks in pass ability, he makes up with directness, stamina, ball control and endeavour.
