A very solid, mature and professional performance (apart from Djourou and Song right at the end trying to play on-twos at our corner flag Vermaelen and Szczesny were going mental at them. )

A fantastic team effort. Song bossed the game. A very good supporting role played by Ramsey. Santos was very good (in defence as well today). Szczesny with an important stop in the second half. I think pretty much everyone played their part. Gerv hasn’t had the best week but with the effort he puts in, he’ll start getting some good luck.

The quality of the game was high - it was a match between two very good teams. They just couldn’t get past Mertesacker - haven’t been his greatest fan (though I think he has done ok this season), today he played very well.
