Fulham vs Arsenal - match rating

salaam all

we lost to Fulham last night, deservedly. to prevent myself from doing a lot of cursing, i will only do match rating in this entry

Manny - do what need to be done. cannot be blamed for the goal as the cross was too low for him to go for it. would like him to be more vocal ala Lehman though. (5)

Bacary - not 1 of his better performance but still way better than most of the rest. he might want to be a bit more discipline with his overlapping, but with the clueless human being in front of him in the mould of Theo, who can blame him. (5)

King Kolo - played ok. however, it's really obvious that he and Billy Gallas are not the proper central defender pairing. i can only assume that le Boss was being cautious with his injury when he was brought out. (5)

Billy Gallas - how did we end up with this William Gallas? he was a superb defender during his time at Chelsea. heck, he was good enough for us last season. the goal last night was all his fault for not marking Hangeland well enough. and he also failed to lead the team last night. (2)

Gael - same with Bac, not 1 of his better game but way better than most of the rest. it'll be hard for him and Bac to better the high standard both of them set last season but i have no doubt that both are able to do it. (5)

Theo - the true meaning of trying too hard to impress and do not know his limitation. always wanted to do something fancy with the ball but most of the time causing us our possession only. you should just keep it simple most of the time dude, you are not that good enough..just yet. clueless!! (1)

Eboue - in the scapegoat category with Ade and Senderos. kept it simple, kept the ball moving well. the 2 runs he produced were nothing short of class. he looks very mobile, a good player when he can concentrate on his game rather than his antics. but will always get the blamed for everything though in this board. (4)

Denilson - why oh why you can't keep it simple when you have to. we are the Arsenal, it's all about passing and movement. not like the clueless Theo, he looks like he know what he's doing . but the executions all the time were horrendous. (1)

Samir - good game by him last night. you will see a different Samir when Cesc play. (5)

Ade - i was expecting a better game by him last night. he should have scored with that header chance. you can blame the striker when the service from the midfield was almost non existent last night. (4)

Robin - actually played ok last night. 2 things that irritates me were 1, his freekick. getting worst by the day. 2, all the unnecessary touch he make when he received the ball. he is so predictable now. but still, looks like he adapting well to the 2nd striker role. (3)

subs

Nik - don't have much impact when coming on. maybe we should start playing 4-3-3 now that we do not have any capable midfielder to deputies for Cesc. (3)

Song - am really glad to see him played well last night. still remember he was booed by our own fans during the match against Fulham at the Cottage last 2 seasons. my suggestion is let's put him and Eboue in the middle for the match against Twente this midweek. surely can't be worse than tonight midfield's performance. (5)

maybe i'll do the ranting in later entry when i feel like it
