[Green Valley]

Gomes 5 - at fault for the first and third goals imo

Corluka 6 - Played ok

King 5 - Had a bad game

Bassong 6 - Played ok

BAE 5 - switched off for the 3rd goal

Bentley 5 - Off the pace

Huddlestone - 4 not good enough

Palacios 6 - played ok

Jenas 5 - Nothing much

Crouch 6 - played ok

Keane 4 - usual Keane - anonymous, weak, nothing.

SUBS:

Bale 6 - give him a run on the left

Pavlolchenko 5 - did more than Keane did

Hutton 5 - had a good chance to break, only had to pass 4 yards to a spurs player but he passed to an Arsenal player instead.

I want a goat option for this game.

I want a goat option for this game.

BAE is the goat option

 

[Dibby]

Jenas clear MOM.

 

[kaz Hirai]

Gomes 6 - couple of good saves, King more at fault for a couple of goals

Corluka 6 - Played ok

King 3 - poor

Bassong 5 - average, got turned inside out a few times but better than king

BAE 4 - poor all round

Bentley 5 - Off the pace

Huddlestone - 2 slow and useless

Palacios 5 - meh

Jenas 5 - as above, but had some moments showing pace and power

Crouch 3 - useless player we also makes us play in a useless fashion

Keane 2 - LOL!

Redknapp -1 what a stupid small time, lack of ambition way to set up a team, especialy considering it didnt work against chelsea and man u

 

[milkman]

I genuinely can't decide, awful performance by the whole team.

 

[gibbs131]

Keane needs to stop chopsin about how on paper Arsenal are on par with Spurs. Maybe over the pitch we are...apart from your position.

Keano was day dreaming.

Corluka was MOTM for me. Jenas close but Corky was solid.

 

[MarkinJapan]

Defoe was good in that he didn't make any mistakes... can't say the same for the rest of them!

 

[mattdefoe]

no MOM. lets never talk of this game again

 

[Zuben]

I think rating King as a 5 is way too generous. Had that been Dawson making those mistakes he would be slaughtered. Truly the worst I've ever seen him play (which is testimony to how good he really is).

Thought JJ and Crouch (also Corky and Bassong actually) were the only two who can hold some credibility. Crouch was ineffective but that was the system not the player and he fought his heart out.

Bentley is a joke, flicks, touches, etc. etc. always to no-one. Crossing was well below what a premier league winger should offer, and he never once took on his man.

To be honest it's a difficult one to decide who was worse out of King, Bentley, Thudd and Keane.

 

[There's always next year]

Jenas was the only one who deserves any type of praise.

I think today showed today that Keane and Crouch are fucking hopeless.. slow, ineffective, indecisive and weak.

Gomes 5
Ekotto- 6
King- 5
Bassong- 6
Corluka- 7
Jenas- 7
Huddlestone- 3
Palacios- 5
Bentley- 4
Keane- 4
Crouch- 5.5


Huddlestone was appalling. Going forward we had absolutely nothing. We were predictable and they managed Crouch well. Defensively we made some basic errors and that was probably Ledley's worst game for us for a very long time.

Overall I'm pissed off, but I'm still optimistic about our chances this season. We need Defoe, Lennon and Modric back ASAP though.

 

[Paxtonite]

Jenas clear MOM.

:rofl::rofl:

 

[Zuben]

That's true and something that I should have added. The lowest rating should continue to go to Defoe for an absolutely stupid moment of rage that has cost us at least 3 points (against Stoke) and who knows what we could have done today with him.

[SoulDog]

Well what a shit day eh? To be honest I knew we would not beat them they are just too good for us. Again Redknapp got the team wrong, why start slow Huddlstone instead of Kranjcar, I would of even started Pav instead of Keane. Thought Arsenal played well, they started of well right from the start showing US how to play football, We just hoofed it up to crouch, what a waste. Thought the times we did try and pass the ball we played well and was doing well. Thought all there goals were soft and we should of dealt with them. Lets not get too down about this, they are a class team,. coys!!!!

Gomes-8 good game, world class save earlier on, some great catches, maybe could of done bit better for the goal but it was a hard shot to save.

Corluka-6 thought he did ok

Bassong-5 ok

King-5 not the best of games today,

ekotto-4 poor, just gave the ball away, hoofed it everytime he got it.

palacois-6 done ok,

jenas-6 did not do to much, but made a few good runs and did not give up.

bently-5 poor, hardly done anything]

crouch-6 done ok in parts,

keane-6 worked quite hard first half but did not do muuch else.

pav-5 done ok when came on but not enough, couple of ok things

 

[jrio]

Gomes 7 - some exceptional saves but a little lax for the 3rd goal

Corluka 6 - solid defending and a great run in the 1st half

King 5 - looked dependable and then just collapsed

Bassong 6 - one of the better performances

BAE 5 - often ill at ease and uncertain

Bentley 5 - offered little and looks a spent force

Huddlestone - 5 offered nothing

Palacios 5 - 2 horrendous errors for the 2nd that killed us

Jenas 6 - the only real force in midfield

Crouch 6 - too many long balls up to him in isolation

Keane 5 - ok for the first half but quickly fell away

SUBS:

Bale 6 - did give some thrust on the left

Pavlolchenko 6 - one forceful shot on target

Hutton 5 - little time but still managed to give the ball away badly

 

[Paxtonite]

Gomes 6
Ekotto- 6
King- 5
Bassong- 6
Corluka- 6
Jenas- 4
Huddlestone- 2
Palacios- 5
Bentley- 3
Keane- 3
Crouch- 3


Every time the ball reached Hudd and Jenas in midfield, all momentum was lost. The play stopped in its tracks and the ball either went backwards or to an Arsenal player. Utter shyte.

Bentley is still a show pony and nothing else.

Crouch should be playing basketball, at least he will have a chance of actually being good at something.

Keane should have been left to rot in Liverpool.

Redknapp talks a good game, but his side and his tactics have been found wanting again. We played with fear from the off. So much for "aving a go!"
