Fabianski – Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I always knew the lad had talent, lack of confidence was his problem. Now that confidence is on a high you can see the difference. Making world class saves, superb decision making, excellent on crosses and set pieces. Goodbye Almunia! (9)
Sagna – He was everywhere today. Superb defending and he was involved in nearly every attack as well. He sure has quite a stamina. And it seemed he’s been working on his crosses as well! (8)
Squillaci – Nothing special from him really but didn’t make any mistakes either. (7)
Djourou – Poor. Looked pretty shaky. His decision making and positioning wasn’t the best on plenty of occasions. Missed a simple header too. Not a good game. I can’t wait for Vermaelen and Koscielny to return. (6)
Clichy – Decent performance from him. Did get humiliated a couple of times in defence but other than that he was his usual self. Not bad. (6.5)
Song – His passing is still annoying and his renewed belief that he’s great going forward is a nuisance. But it did pay off today, fortunately. Got a good goal, great finish. (6.5)
Denilson – Worked really hard today. Good performance but I’ll have Wilshere over him any day. (7)
Fabregas – Our captain is just sheer class. What he adds to the team is priceless. His vision is exceptional, execution is always perfect. Missed a penalty but he made it up with his performance. (8.5)
Nasri – Excellent performance yet again from the Frenchman. He’s doing it week in week out. Scored a very well taken goal and got the assist for the 3rd goal. He’s a really skillful player and his ability to take on defenders is a treat to the eye. (9)
Arshavin – Saw some improvement today from his recent lackluster performances but still a long way to go to being back to his best. It was pleasing to see him tracking back today, something that has been his weak point from the start of his Arsenal career. He was pretty active in the attacks as well, good assist for Nasri’s opener. But he’s unable to take defenders on and beat them like he was in his early days and score some surprising goals which is worrying. (7)
Chamakh – The usual from our Moroccan. Good link up, decent runs, it was a tackle on him that resulted in the early red card. (7)
Substitutes:
Rosicky – Involved a lot since coming on but wasted an opportunity to shoot by trying to find Denilson. But it was probably because of his lack of confidence in front of goal; he hasn’t scored in quite a while. (6.5)
Walcott – Nothing to mention in his little cameo.
Bendtner – Great to see him back. He had a nice touch, movement was good and finishing was excellent. (7)

How could you have given Nasiri 9? He is man of the match and deserves something better than fabianky and cesc.

I’m still convinced we would have lost this game 11 v 11. We are not clinical enough in front of goal, we missed lots of easy chances. As for out defence, djourou was truely awful and squillci and clichy made me nervous. I am grateful for the red card and the 3 points

suppered fabiasky should b giving more chance so that we can see more of him. I believe he is going to be among the best goalkeepers in EPL this season.

SONG WAS ABSOLUTLY FANTASTIC TODAY. NASRI IS A GENIUS AND FABIANSKI HAD A WONDERFUL GAME TODAY, HEARD SOME PEOPLE SAYING WE WON BECAUSE OF THE RED CARD. WITH THAT KIND OF PERFORMANCE TODAY WE WOULD HAV BEATEN THEM EVEN WITH 15 MEN ON THE PITCH BESIDE RED CARD IS PART AND PARCEL OF THE BEAUTIFUL GAME. THEY SHOULD BE HAPPY WITH THE SCORE BEEN ONLY 3 0. IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE IF LITTLE JACK IS IN THE PITCH TODAY. GUNNERS RULE THE WORLD

Which match were you watching. Song was super in the mid field. Super rans, tackles and attack. He went forward often because Denilson was covering. He deserves 8.5
