Song is one of the best holding players in the league, however I though Diaby was very poor; gave the ball away several times. Diaby is too inconsistent, Denilson when he comes back isnt much better, I say we give Ramsey a Chance, See what the young Welshman can do. Hes 19 now, no use in him sitting on the bench.

I’m not sure this guy watched the game Bendtner played really bad but so did most of our midfield inside the first 35 min we lost too much of the ball which would have been punished by a stronger team.

Diaby does have potential but holds onto the ball too long and in this league you cant do that …. that’s why he gets closed down to fast and gives off bad passes.

Arshavin needs to work on his fitness and although he didn’t score he really had a tendency to give the back four some trouble.

Ramsey is starting to look like a carbon copy Fabregas just needs to become stronger.

Eduardo’s finishing was poor but every player has he’s bad days, but the guy can still create something out of nothing.

Almunia didn’t have much to do but the Verminator and Gallas were partly strong because of a strong commanding keeper directing he’s back four Mannone cant do this at the moment and he lets the pressure get to him.

Song was good as usual he may not be the best in the world yet but trust me the guy is close as he is consistent and great at breaking up the run of play.

Bendtner was terrible ! Didn’t you realise that until Eduardo came on it was 0:0? Eduardo may not have scored but he made space and chances for others! Wake up! Bendtner and Diaby must be sold!

My ratings are based on one game, not the season. Eduardo had a bad game, and he hasn’t been the same since he came from his long-term injury. I am not giving him a low score for missing two one-on-ones, I’m scoring him low because his overall game was mediocre at best.
Diaby is dreadful. FACT!
Count the good games Diaby has had in 3-4 years. I’d say he’s had 3 at best. Not good enough. He is an absolute joke, but Arsenal fans continue to give him a chance because they think he is Vieira-like. Don’t make me laugh.

Diaby is Shit!! He has no potential. I agree with the poster above. If he still wants to stay at the Emirates, he should work as a janitor.

I think Diaby had a pretty decent game. He’s extremely underrated and I think he deserves a break. Often when our defence is under pressure and the ball is smashed from inside the area to about 20-25 yards out, Diaby springs up, takes control of the situation by shielding the ball, taking the sting and momentum out of the opposing teams attack. No he’s not spraying balls left and right, but I think the fact that he does put his foot on the ball helps Arsenal when a lot of players are panicky. Although he doesn’t always pick the right pass, he’s shown he can definitely provide Fabregas-esque passes, just look at the set up last year for Van Persie’s equaliser away at Everton. From 40 yards out, over the defence, onto Van Persie’s left foot and into the net. You need to cut him some slack.

I do however share some of your concern for Eduardo. He doesn’t seem to be on the pace at all since coming back, his finishing is disappointing given his high standards before his injury. Let’s hope he can turn it around.

Come on you gunners!

Nasri was not ready I think to start in a big game like yesterday. I guess he will be given the chance to play this midweek ! Looking forward to see that.

Song has improved a lot. But the problem is when he gets injured or when he leaves for African Nations Cup who will replace him ?

Song has been great from the beginning of the season. His dribbling is better, his passing has been brilliant, he closes down players. The only thing he needs to work on is the timing of his tackles, though it’s better this year than last; but he needs to watch it. We can’t afford to give away cheap free kicks and penalties.
