spurs team overall is better, the midfield is easily better.

we cannot defend, ok, thats a price for great attacking football....but thats all but gone too...we look toothless and dire at the back... we will definitely finish 5th or lower IMO and to be honest i think it would do more good than bad for the club...

Sczenezy reminds me of Cech, great at dealing with 1 on 1s and shots in the area but alot more suspect on long range efforts

Thought Mertesacker was a donkey, Song was imo your best defender

Van Persie was invisible, Walcott was woeful, Arteta tried his best but accomplished nothing

Sagna played very well id give him 7


Szczesny gets 8 for me, would have got 9 if it wasnt for goal

mertesacker gets 1 for me

song gets 5 cause he assisted goal

gibbs gets a 6

ramsey a 4

coquelin 7

arteta 6 - good passing but he didnt convince me

walcott 5 could have done more

rvp - 6

gervinho 2

at least one guy said on sixosix that it was the best arsenal performance of the season.

I personally think you are being ridiculously harsh with those markings............................Szczesny was excellent and at times looked unbeatable. The Walker goal was difficult, the ball was swerving upwards as he dived, most keepers would have had problems saving it.

I thought as a team you played well and had the better of the game for long periods. Only when we brought on Sandro "The Beast" did we start taking control back!

rvp 6, what did he do, i only just found out he was therE?

Agree with you ratings, Ramsey and Gervino were extremely poor! We just have too many average players in our squad and a Manager who is tactically clueless when it comes to defending . Our defenders look like clowns half the time and I honestly feel that we have the worst defense in the league.

Dont think Song was as bad as you're making out. Mertesacker has added nothing to our defence and I dont rate Gervinho at all. If Sagna is out for a while we are in a serious crisis

Song in my opinion was your best player

I thought he was their best player by a mile

For me I thought for a majority of the time the back 4 individually did okay. However, our problems are further up the pitch. We do not have the creativity or players that allow us to maintain possession in our formation forcing players to try to make passes that are just not there.

RVP is isolated up front and continues to drop deep and therefore with out no target in the final third.

Bottom line we have lost our midfield from last season, our perceived best defender has been out for the best part of a year and no real competition to RVP in the striking department.

The league does not lie and we are where we deserve to be with the quality we have in our squad.

Not agree on our goalie. Did you see the built up of the second goal. It came from a throw in to Walker. You can concede such a goal. He was better than 7 overall.

Gibbs - 6 - Solid Game, no troubles
--------------------------------------------------

You give him 6 just because he is English or his performance? because Song and Martaserker have better game than him.

Even Ramsey score he still the worst player on pitch included Spurs players.

I don't agree with many of your ratings. Up until Sagna went off I thought we were the better team. As soon as Jeninson came on it allowed Bale to open up the game. The weakest links in my opinion were Ramsey (because he kept giving the ball away and was not on the same wavelength as Arteta), and Gervinho. Then again Walcott didn't do a lot and RvP could not get in the game.

Defensively we looked alright (until Jenkinson came on) and we seem to be getting better at defending corners. Having Mertersacker with his leaderhip skills helps organise the back four. I know he made a mistake but other than that I thought he did well, as usual.

We were unlucky but it was a good game.

I expect Sagna will be out for a few weeks now just to make sure our season really does go down the pan.
