Given - 6

Taylor - 7

Emre - 4 Contributed nothing of any creativity, if he's the most creative midfielder we have we're fucked

Milner - 6 Works well with Solano, can actually control the ball and pass a bit

Duff - 5 Pretty ineffectual, missed a good chance

Dyer - 5 Anonymous

Martins - 4 Gave possession away like he was an Arsenal player, poor movement, all round shocker

 

Harper - 6

N'Zogbia - 4 Absolutely anonymous

i think him and taylor would be good together given a bit of time

 

I think Taylor needs an intelligent defender beside him myself.

Taylor held it together today at times.

He did.

 

Gooch has done nothing, apart from his throws, to suggest he is even as good as Bramble.

Harper - 6.5  Didn't have much to do

Nobby - 7 ok game one of our better players, got forward well at times, vital clearing header off the line.

Gooch - 5 - Sloppy at times

Taylor - 8 Cool and collective at the back, several vital tackles  MOM

Car - 5 Nearly cost us the game, definately not good enough.

Duff - 5.5 Poor missed two very good chances.

Emre - 6 I rate Emre but he was poor today.

Butt - 8 Very good.

Milner - 7 Some quality moments plus worked hard as always.

Dyer - 5.5 poorish

Martins - 6 Worked hard but didn't really get anywhere

 

Zoggy - 5 Worryingly poor this season.

Luque - No time to get a rating

Gooch's decision making was a bit suspect at times, didnt think he played shockingly bad though. Showed good intelligence in the RB position to turn the defender and pass up the line.

Best ratings so far.

 

Overall I'm feeling indifferent.  We probably should have nicked a win but we didn't offer enough going forward.  I think we paid Arsenal a bit too much respect. Still, I would have taken two draws against Arsenal at the start of the season so it's not all bad.  When we have Owen to gather the flicks from Martins, etc, and relieve a little of the pressure from Martins, I think we'll be much more effective up front.

No movement, resulting in wide players and strikers being isolated. Defence sooo deep when it doesn't need to be, resulting in huge gaps between midfield/defence and midfield/attack. That would have been so easy to sort out, tell the defence to step up and the wingers to stay up-field and support the strikers.

 

Suppose a point is better than nothing but if we'd had any balls we could of easily won that game. Arsenal were absoloutly shite. Bit pissed off with that tbh.

I love how Roeder intrduces Luque exactly at a time that dosn't allow him to have any  impact (Negative or Postive) on the game :lol:
