a year ago that was a game we would have lost 5-3. but we seem a bit more resilient with experienced players like per, arteta and gervinho in the team.

walcott needs to be as arrogant as he was today. played as if he knew he could take on ashley and beat him.

gervinho- utter class. so direct and different.

wojciech was a nutter as usual. good confidence for such a young keeper.

kos was amazing again. shows what a bit of confidence can do to a player.

per's positioning was good but he still needs time to adapt.

santos was a different player in the second half. think this is the difference between experienced, strong willed characters and players who are mentally weak- whilst clichy would have come out in the 2nd half and still had a shocker, santos was able to regroup and wipe the slate clean and turn his performance into a blinder. his tackling is awesome but his positioning is weak, needs time to adapt.

one thing i will say is how biased sky are towards any team we play. kept going on about how chelsea were poor and focused on the midfield/torres losing the ball constantly, never mentioned the fact they were losing it was because we were sharper and better than them. seems as if whenever we win its because the opposition are having a poor game, when in fact its not, its us deciding to turn up and playing them off the park.

oh well, great result. COYG!!!!!
