Spurs-Arsenal Match Ratings

[yusrisafri]

What a superbly stupendous performance!!!!!

Cerny - 6. Nothing muych to do at all, so cant really give him a high rating.

King - 8. Nothing got past him.

Dawson - 7. Always looks comfortable when playing with the King.

Lee - 7. Consistent.

Chimbonda - 7.5. Very potent when on the attack and defended very well as well.

Tainio - 5. Where was he? At times in the match, I forgot he was playing.

Jenas - 8.5. Superb. Was everywhere, and what a goal! Brilliant performance by the lad. MOM by a mile.

Lennon - 8. Now he wont be doing his England chances any harm at all with this kind of performance. Superb goal and beautiful assist for KEane.

Steed - 7. Hardworking and capped off a fine display with the last goal.

Keane - 7.5. Hardworking throughout, and a typical Keano goal.

Berbatov - 6.5. A tad disappointing for his high standards, but still contributed well upfront.

 

[guiltyparty]

Thought Dawson stood out a lot more than King, but you've got to give all the boys at least 8 for such a fantastic performance. We could have got 10. It really was that much of a rout. Well done everyone. Jenas and Daws man of the match

 

[Berbati]

Jeans MOM, Keane and Lennon excellent, CB's too, Berba a bit disappointing.

 

[dvdhopeful]

Tainio should be looking at 7's to 8's, he did his job superbly, breaking up play and chasing down Arsenal players. Thought he was fantastic

 

[Supersonic]

Tainio was good.

10s all round

 

[DOX]

Cerny - 7

King - 8

Dawson - 9

Lee - 7

Chimbonda - 8

Tainio - 7.5

Jenas - 9 MOM

Lennon - 8

Steed - 8

Keane - 9

Berbatov - 6

 

[dspursusa]

10's for eveyone simply for the fact that we are in a cup final

 

[Cicinho]

Cerny 6 - did everything asked him

Chimbo 7 - played good defensivly
Dawson 7 - despite a poor season played well in the big-game
King 8 - looked comanding as usual, spurs always look more solid with the king!!
YPL 6 - did what was asked of him

Lennon 8 - everytime he got the ball he looked a threat, took his goal nice
Jenas 9 - stand-out player, good pressuring arsenal players and great on the ball, passes and goal
Tainio 7 - played well sitting in front of the back four, solid
Malbranque 8 - nice game attacking

Keane 7 - not his biggest fan at all but this game he was chasing down players and looked credible upfront, played his role in a great win
Berba 7 - good touches, did all that would have been asked everytime he had the ball

hudd 5, defoe 5, boateng 5

10 for Ramos and 10 for Poyet

 

[Teemu]

Cerny convinces me so much more than Robinson. I know he had few proper saves to make but I loved that whenever he came for the ball he either caught it or made a decent punch!

Tainio did what he always does, getting stuck in and not giving the opposition any time on the ball, good decision to start with him.

Dawson was quality tonight, as were Jenas, Lennon, Malbranque and Keane.

 

[yanno]

Tainio - 5. Where was he? At times in the match, I forgot he was playing.

Tainio made two sloppy passes. But generally he was outstanding, breaking up goon attacks and then passing it simply with his head up. And enabling Jenas to get forward occasionally.

Hats off to Juande for finally recognizing that Tainio can play like a Ramos CM, and sticking Teemu into such a big match.

COYS!

 

[fergie]

as said before 10 for everyone

we embarrassed the arse-anal

everyone done their bit

one off the most important results of recent years

coys

on the jenas front - thats what we need from him all the time

 

[belsunz]

Cerny - 7
King - 8.5
Dawson - 8
Chimbonda - 7.5
Lee - 7.5
Tainio - 8
Jenas - 9
Steed - 8
Lennon - 8.5
Keane - 9
Berbatov - 7.5

Excellent team performance. Tainio was absolutely essential today tactically. His positioning is excellent and he limits the passing opportunities of the arse. Proved again what an underestimated player he is. Great mentality.

Jenas deserves to be MOM. But Keano was awesome too. The closing down, the fighting spirit, the dangerous runs. Legend.

 

[joey.leone]

how can you give teemu a 5? he had a very good game, always breaking up and definantly played well with jenas today.

COYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO WEM-BER-LEY!

 

[SpurSince57]

Very, very rarely do these, but it's a special occasion (the first of many, one hopes), so:

Cerny 7 (Did everything that might reasonably be expected of a keeper well, no chance with their goal)

Chimbo: 7.5 (Best performance for some time, would have been 8 but for two reckless challenges)

Dawson: 8.5 (But why can't you play like this without Ledders to hold your hand?)

King: 9 (Showed just why we've missed him)

Leapy: 8 (Hard to fault in any serious way)

Tainio: 9 (Given the chance to impress, took it with both hands)

JJ: 9 (MOTM. Just do this every game.)

Lennon: 8.5 (Constant threat, hard-working)

Steed: 8 (Beavered away, indefatigable, marked down a little for recklessness)

Keane: 9 (Top dollar)

Berbatov: 8 (Hard to nail down, WTF? moments and then pure quality.)

Subs:

JD: 7.5

Bong: 7.5

Hudd: 8

Ramos: 10. Perfect preparation, got Plan A spot on, subs spot on.

Spot on



I also have to praise (believe it or not, Merson for being a true Gooner fan, OK he had to say that this wasn't their 1st team etc etc, and to patronise by saying that "some" Spurs players could get into the Arse 1st team (and ?? ) but he was honest enough to admit our false position in the league and say that Wenger underestimated us AND praise the crowd.


I just wish Hodd would have pushed foward that even against their 1st choice line up we were unlucky to lose against them in the league recently so we CAN beat any line up they choose.


COYS

 

[Dannyspur]

I thought everyone played like they really wanted it - first to the loose ball passed and moved well and took some chances. 10 out of 10 for the team.

Just watching the highlights on ITV - great stuff

 

[Jimmypearce7]

Tanio 5.5!? He was immense- reads the game and gets in the way of their attacks, makes space and lays it off.

I think you can only give them all 10's- except KPB obviously, who wandered around doing his usual impression of a poor man's Ghaly

 

[robbiesavagehasbreasts]

cerny - 7.5 - he did really well when called upon.

lee - 7 - solid.
chimbo - 7 - solid and involved in some nice attacking play.
king - 8 - important tackles, leader.
dawson - 8.5 - great game, threw himself infront of shots, tackled well, and played a part in the second goal.

lennon - 8.5 - scored a goal, made another.
steeeeed - 7.5 - very good tonight.
jenas - 10 - what a performance! great goal, scored surrounded by practically the whole arsenal team. brilliant assist in the fifth goal, put berba through when he hit the post. was simply brilliant.
tainio - 8.5 - did what is requested of a defensive midfielder and some more!

berbatov - 8.5. - unlucky not to score, made gallas look like a fool, involved in a lot of the attacking play as usual.
keane - 9.5 - great finish, gave his everything, got an assist and just like berba made gallas look like a complete fool!
