Looking at Arsenal 1st team, i thought they have indeed played
their strongest side in whatever they have available
1st choice keeper, 1st choice right back, 2nd choice Left Back
(Due to clichy injury), 1st and 2nd choice Centre Back (Due to
injury to Gallas)
1st Choice Right Winger, 1st Choice Left Winger, and 1st choice
CM
1st choice Forwards
The subs are mainly those CMI players like Denilson, Diaby,
Bendtner
And still got trashed 3-1 ??? at home???
Gosh...
Teamtalk ratings
ARSENAL:
Manuel Almunia: Man-of-the-match last week but should not be
getting beaten from that distance, no matter how powerful the
free-kick. 7/10.
Bacary Sagna: Worked hard and tried to get forward but his
performance, like so many, was shaped by the opening 11 minutes.
6.
Kolo Toure: A number of Arsenal players will be asking where do
they go from here. Not bad, but not enough. 6.
Johan Djourou: Preferred to Mikael Silvestre and did OK. It's
not like he could have stopped the early goals. 6.
Kieran Gibbs (off 46): How sorry do you feel for the youngster,
whose unfortunate slip gifted United their perfect start. 6.
Theo Walcott (off 62): Has the pace to petrify anyone but did
not really get round Evra. 6.
Alexandre Song: Better than last week but found himself
out-numbered at times as United swamped the midfield. 6.
Cesc Fabregas: Wanted to impress so much but must have had the
heart ripped out of him by that start. 6.
Samir Nasri: Probably Arsenal's most creative player and kept
trying no matter how great the odds. 7.
Robin van Persie (off 79): Was supposed to bring a greater
cutting edge to Arsenal's attack. It did not work. Took his penalty
well though. 6.
Emmanuel Adebayor: Not that much better than seven days ago. The
sound of knives being sharpened cannot be far away. 5.
Emmanuel Eboue (on 46): Did his job well but the shape of the
game has already been dictated. 6.
Nicklas Bendtner (on 62): Thankless task given the position his
team were in when he was introduced but had a few good chances.
7.
Carlos Vela (on 79): Too late to make an impact. 6.
The Self aclaim best striker got a 5 ! This guy is like that
kanu. sometimes good, sometimes bad.. mostly is bad
