Szczesny– Quiet game for him. Did the basics perfectly and keeps getting more and more confidence. Produced an expected save against Scotland which will probably be his only highlight of the game. Misjudging a cross (which also led to him knocking out Sagna) would be his only mistake. 6
Sagna– Got injured (head concussion) while defending a set- piece. Hope he recovers soon.
DJ– Very good on the ball. Dealt with everything thrown at him. 7
Kosher– Sound technically and wiped out any danger at the back. Got booked in the first half. Showed great determination to score our second from a corner by beating Fulop (Ipswich keeper) to the ball. 8
Clichy– Probably our best defender today. Didn’t let anything go by except on one occasion where he recovered well. 7
Denilson– Started the game poorly committing a horrible foul which he got away with but grew into the game and snuffed out the danger when required to. 6
Cesc– Not a good first half. A very bright second half though with one assist and a goal to seal off the victory. 7
Arshavin– Worked a lot harder then we usually see him do. Still made some gambles with passes and gave possession away sometimes but two assists… can’t say he had a bad game can you? 7
Wilshere– Worked his socks off today but lacked that lethalness which I am sure he will get soon. Linked play well in the midfield. 6.5
RVP– Hit the bar and was unlucky not to get a goal. Passed well out there and showed creativity but just was not his day. 6
Bendther– A great cross to RVP which led to him hitting the bar post. Didn’t contribute significantly throughout the game but out of nowhere scores a goal which belongs to the top draw. Any striker would be proud to score a goal like that, fabulous individual effort. 7.5
