Folks - you've all forgotten our captain, Robin Van Persie.
Was he that anonymous?

I rated him 4. just shows you.Originally Posted by Power_n_Glory
SZCZESNY - 7 - Busier of the two keepers, could not prevent either goal..........made good saves, claimed well and distributed well.
SAGNA - 6 Solid at the back didn't get forward as well as playing at unaccustomed left back position
VERMAELEN - 8 Had Carroll in his pocket, led the back line on his own and really should be Team Captain
JENKINSON - 7 Thrown in at the deep end but didn't disappoint, did well against Stuart Downing
KOSCIELNY - 5 - Hard to rate as went off with Injury early on
FRIMPONG - 6 Brilliant in ball distribution, tackling and box-to box movement but also reckless and impetuous and deserved sending off
RAMSEY - 5 Looks unsure in the middle of the park, many of his passes go astray and doesn't seem as dynamic getting forward as he has been
ARSHAVIN - 4 Made one good cross into the box the entire game, his passing was always too heavy or he made wrong decisions.....looks unfit and doesn't seem to care
WALCOTT - 5 Crossing was dire, couldn't get past Jose Enrique cut a frustrated figure
NASRI - 7 The most creative of the Midfields, went on bursting runs committed defenders and looked committed.
VAN PERSIE 6 - Looked isolated, proof if any was needed that he cannot play as a lone striker
SUBS:
MIQUEL - 6 - Looked dead on his feet by the end, worked hard and played well but wasn't used to playing this caliber of opponent
LANSBURY - 4 - Did nothing and only served to show how lightweight our squad is that he even made it in there
BENDTNER - 5 - Played on the wing to no real purpose, why is he still playing for us....it's frankly embarrassing.
woji - 7 - Made some excellent saves and solid overall
Jenko - 7 - Decent performance did his job well enough for a kid
Sagna - 6 - Unspectacular but did his job
Vermy - 9 - Excellent performance, solid and make Caroll's life very hard.
Miguel - 6 - Decent enough but needs more experience
Frimpong - 6 - Was impressed with his performance, played a good game other than taking some bad positions at times, marked down due to sending off
Ramsey - 4 - Not at the races, is he just out of form or is it the injury that's taken it's toll
Nasri - 7 Made some decent runs and was the most effective attacking midfielder by a mile
Arshavin - 5 - Tried but was pretty poor with everything he tried
Walcott - 5 - Non existent other than the odd cross, Enrique had him in his pocket all match, this guy just isn't progressing and at this stage of his career should be delivering
RVP - 6 - Didn't do a lot but then got no service
Koscielny - 6 - Did OK but then got injured
Lansbury - 5 Can't remember him doing anything
Bendtner - 5 - Ineffective, but then it makes no sense to play him on the wing, yet people say this situation isn't down to Wenger, he's playing big old battering rams strikers on the wing FFS!!! He spends 15 million on a winger and then decides Bendtner is a better choice on the wing, who the hell spends 15 million on a player they don't think is ready to play!

Für eure Sicherheit
woji - 8 - looked solid and in command - first time in a long time I have seen an Arsenal keeper come out to claim and come back with the ball or at least send it out of harms way
Jenko - 7 - first his first game in PL - I say a job well done. Still need someone expereinced to carry s through the season as Sagna cant stay at LB all term
Sagna - 7 - asked to fit in and fit in he did
Vermy - 9 - our MOTM - lead by example and the defence looked solid even with Kos off with Verms around
Miguel - 6.5 - probably thought he had little chance of a game but wasnt given time to think about coming on......was thrown on and put in a solid shift, hopefully will get better but he isnt the imeediate answer we are looking for......one for the future, until he wants to go back to Spain that is.
Frimpong - 7 - could have been our MOTM if not for the sending off and the tackles that lead the ref to keep an eye on him. But for enthusasism there wasnt anyone better on our side and some of the senior players should have taken notice of his example and the contsnat urges I saw him giving out. Miles better than Denilson and not a square ball in sight.
Ramsey - 4 - Oh dear! on that perfromance I was sad to see him get the og, really summed his game. TBH I do think he needs more games but we need someone to come good with little hassle........hope Ramsey is that guy but not sure
Nasri - 7 - OK he played well, I would never have booed him although he seemed to have little time for the fans. The way he was going for it made me think this was his last game and he wanted to rubber stamp it but then some of you guys started mentioning the Citeh deal maybe being off - Question is - Do we play him against Ude?
Arshavin - 4 - Have not been impressed with this guy on the wide for a long time now. He flaters to deceive, see him put in a tackle but then have no penetration in attack. Time to move him in side I think or one of these signs we have been waiting for is bought with the idea of putting him on the bench. (Suppose Gervinho is about to do that)
Walcott - 4 - Striker? OK I will give that a try but the formation of the team will have to change and I cant see that hapeening soon so he needs to start getting better soon, cos he is another senior member he needs to be more of a leader.
RvP - 4 - not a great game......not a great two games.......the captaincy seems like a burden! but so does playing in this team. RvP does not have the luxury of another team courting him so he too like Walcott needs to get on with things......for me I would kike to see him playing alongside, slightly forward or behind another striker......again change of formation - the lone role is not his
We could have got a draw.....thats the best we could have got IMO. The season is still new, but I dont think we have that much time to get things right......actually I think we have about 9 days.......funny that! its about 9 days till the transfer window closes........uh Wenger san!?
