Player Ratings: Arsenal 2 – 1 Fulham

Arsenal move to the top of the league with a 2-1 victory over Fulham. Following are the Match Ratings for the Gunners:

LUKE – He pulled out two spectacular saves in each half. Kamara’s shot was the first one, while Gera volley was the second. Good game overall, and is improving as we progress (touch-wood)…8

SAGNA – Nothing out of the blue. Helped Nasri whenever possible, and performed his defensive duties well….7.5

SQ18- No nonsense defending from the french-man. He did his job and thats about it. On the attacking front, he also did win some crucial headers, most importantly the headed assist to Andrey in the 5th min !…6.5

KOSHER- N/A

CLICHY – His crossing was better yesterday, hope he keeps it up. Defended well against Davies, and made good forward runs also….7.5

SONG – Did not attck much, at most he went up to pass the ball further, performed his duties well overall..6

WILSHERE – Kept the midfield on the move. Distributed the ball well, and pressed well too. Nice game from the Englishman, especially with Fabio watching from the stands….7.5

NASRI– Need I say more about this transformer! Scored 2 magnificent goals, and was a constant threat to Fulham whenever he had possession. Hope, he continues the same way at OT….10

TR7– He defended sometimes and attacked as well. But overall below par for me. Showed a moment of brilliance when he played an exquisite cross to Song, and showed a moment of stupidity when he played the return-ball to MC29 having all license to shoot……5.5

ARSHAVIN – The Russian was subdued by the French-man, but did not play badly at all. He made dazzling runs from the centre of the half and unselfishly played the ball to Nasri for the first goal. He too was a constant threat to Fulham. Was being booed in the beginning, which I seriously found ridiculous!….8.5

CHAMAKH– The Moroccan had a quiet game. Dropped back deep to add an extra man to the midfield as usual, and kept the game moving in front. The guy in my opinion should shoot more often. And if possible, he should also brush up his heading as it looked a bit rusty yesterday. [ Something you would not here many people say would you ? ]…8.5

SUBSTITUTES:

DJOUROU – Won crucial headers in the back of the defense, and cleared the ball in a no nonsense manner. Somehow I feel the defense plays better with SQ18 and him rather than the former and Kosher…..7.5

RVP– Made a good decision to play Nasri through and not shoot. Not much to rate overall. He is working his way back to the top, so lets just wait…7

THEO– Made some dazzling runs from the right, but they were not exactly fruitful, to be honest. Should improve on his crossing, especially with Capello watching…6

CHEERS,

THE ARMOURY
