Standard Liege 2 - 3 Arsenal

Only match ratings today.

Mannone - 5. Not much to do, even with the two goals. Could perhaps have been positioned better for their first goal. There is something very wrong with our goalkeeping training though, teaching our keepers to rush out for balls our defence should easily cope with. Mannone did it today, Almunia has recently started doing it, we all know Fabianski does it. Even Szcezsny did it for the reserves on Monday.
Eboue - 4. Dreadful.
Clichy - 3. Even more dreadful.
Gallas - 4. Dreadful.
Vermaelen - 7. Thank god for Vermaelen. I don't know how many goals we would have conceded without him.
Song - 6. Ok
Diaby - 3. Dreadful. Worst player on the pitch despite bagging an assist. Should have been replaced by Wilshere at half time instead of being rewarded for an awful performance by being played the full 90 minutes.
Rosicky - 7. Pretty good. Not quite up to scratch yet in terms of the physical aspect of the game, but that will come.
Fabregas - 6. Ok
Eduardo - 5. Early shocker, and thereafter never really got into his stride.
Bendtner - 6. Ok. Took his goal well.

Shocking performance, mainly defensively. Should never have got into a position where we had to chase the game. And in that respect, despite dominating the whole game, we were lucky to win.
I may write something more constructive tomorrow, but if not, 'til the weekend Gooners.
