   Really a 7.5 for clichy? I tought he was teribble. Brings nothing but the jitters to the back four. Clichy side has been a problem all season with the opposite team always concentrating their attacks down that side.

   Clichy 7.5 are you having a laugh? He had another shocker.At fault for the goal and fucked up later on with Lehmann making a great save.The day we get rid of he cant come quickly enough

   Agree with you on Kos.Two stone wall penalties.

   I would make Lehmann MOTM for his influence on the team and the fans.Almunia should never play for Arsenal again

   “STOP PRESSURING ME”

   We need to give the players room to play their game with freedom!

   Diaby for me was good forget hitting the ball once he was solid scoring and even working on his man to clear the ball that led to walcott dropping it for van persie to score the 3rd

   Was nice to see Arsenal in winning ways again. Clichy still not solid at the back. He was 6.0 i think !!!
   Eboue needs to be used more in the starting eleven as he is the more fresh of all !!!
   You could see that teams do not fear Arsenal anymore !!! Arsenal needs more to be incisive in their approach towards goals but overall, it was a good game. Gunner 4 Life
   Where is Bendtner ? Want to see him playing

   Are you people mad or something?^
   Clichy had a good game he made one misstake and i believe he is way too underated…I was solid and it would be a massive blow if he leaves arsenal this season

   jimbo…i think you overrated squillaci…
   Squillaci made a few good tackles such as the one that lead to the 3rd but he was at fault for their goal…completely missed the run! he missed what should have been an easy tackle before koscienly gave away the pen that never was (def only one was a pen, the other is 50-50 no probs). and he also just left their player all alone when it was 2-1 and they had that free header that was completely missed…how you give an 8 for that is crazy…6.5 or 7 at best

   clichy was really good today barring one late SHAMBOLIC error that definitely knocked some off his score…he defended really well in the box making a few crucial tackles, one last ditch in particular and he EVEN WON SOME HEADERS!! in attack he was flawless…ran the wings well…but he needs to step up that concentration at the end…prob 7 tho 7.5 was ok…
   koscienly played solid…made a lot of headers and a lot of tackles and a lot of interceptions…got very lucky with the pen…but did well…i give him a 7 same as squilla i guess…

   Diaby was MOTM for me…8.0 for him, same score and cesc and robin

   great game…great win…can we have just a little smile now? wins are meant to be enjoyed

   “Scored the first and then got involved in something and got booked and lost his head”

   Classic!

   Agreed with the ratings. I thought that Diaby’s good outweighed his bad today, and his run from deep for the first goal was the kind of workrate Adebayor could only dream of.

   I also enjoyed that Lehmann was so proactive. We know he loves to come flying out of his goal, but whenever there was danger on, you knew he’d come hurtling in to save the day!

    Did anyone else feel remarkably at ease with Jens in goal? His talking from GK to all the players was so evident and I’m sure he’s playing a huge role in the dressing room. Yeah he has those moments (ala Blackpool’s goal), but at least he has that winning mentality installed in his veins.

    Eboue apart from his great goal gave the ball away far too much.
    I think your ratings are a bit generous.

    Either i just had a mini stroke or S J little’s post made no sense at all!!!

    Fabregas was outstanding yday, he was hitting through balls for fun. Think Blackpools woeful offside trap helped but was still a massive boost to have him back in the side. Not sure what Arshavin is bringing to the side at the moment. He may be capable of genius, but it’s few n far between, n certainly doesn’t warrant a starting place. He would be much more effective as an impact player behind the strikers in the last 20 minutes of games, ala Barcelona at home. Alsogreat to see Jens back n he looked pretty solid but wasn’t really tested and certainly didn’t deserve MOTM as mentioned by someone earlier!

    7.5 is a bit high for Gael.
    And Diaby should be at leat 8.0 in this game!
    He was the man of the match.

    S J little is the riddler! Like he said, read between the lines. Don’t know why he made that point though.

    As for the game, Clichy was a liability and I can’t understand why he continues to do these silly things when he has cost us points doing so before. Will he ever learn??? He gets a 5

    Kos must learn to stay on his feet. Poor defenders go to ground. After getting away with it in the first have, he shouldn’t be lunging for the ball in the area again. Another player who seems not to learn from past mistakes. Sendings off against liverpool and newcastle, plus the free kick that led to the 3rd goal against the scum should have been enough of a lesson. STAY ON YOUR FEET!!! – 5.5

    Diaby was good. I’d be interested to see him in that role song plays more often. He won a number of headers. Playing so deep, he won’t dwell on the ball as much. – 8

    Cesc was enormous. We really miss his passing range when he’s injured. When he plays, he stretches the game with his long passes. – 8.5

    Arshavin was quiet – 6

    Everyone else gets 7.

    Clichy was a liability, likewise Eboue, Koz threatens to give away a penalty every game with his rash tackles. Lehmann should have been sent off even though the penalty was not given. The ref went back and booked Wilshere and by the same letter of the law should have shown Lehmann a red. Very lucky result, but we were due some luck.
