Premier League Player Ratings: Manchester United vs Arsenal – http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429
Arsenal travelled to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United in what was set to be a real test for the Gunners. The North London team were without a number of their key players, but no one could have predicted what was going to happen in the game. United
went on to run over the Gunners and destroyed them by scoring eight goals and conceding only two in the process.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wojciech-Szczesny-c36998: Despite having eight goals put in the net behind him, Szczesny was the only reason for the Gunners not suffering an even worse loss. He was quite decent and had he had a better defence, he would have really shone during the game.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Laurent-Koscielny-c21742: The defender was poor to say the least. His tackling was good, but he just couldn’t keep up with the pace of the United attackers.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Johan-Djourou-c18779: The defender was all over the place and seemed to be back to his former worst, as he forgot all the basics of defending during the game and was pushed around by the United attackers with ease.
Armand Traore: Had quite a poor display during the game and made everyone realize just what Gael Clichy was crucial to the Gunners squad.
Carl Jenkinson: Probably the worst player on display for Arsenal. Picked up a red card and let Ashley Young get the better of him on a number of occasions during the game. All in all, not a very good day for the youngster.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aaron-Ramsey-c3065: Despite everyone falling apart around him, Ramsey managed to impress every now and then. He had some good touches on the ball and his intelligence was quite apparent. Hopefully he will get the support that he needs sooner rather than later.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andrei-Arshavin-c5771: The Russian was quite poor. He seems to have fallen from grace and doesn’t seem to know how to get back. If he doesn’t improve, then this could be his last season at the club.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Francis-Coquelin-c13952: The youngster’s debut wasn’t one that he would have dreamed of. He got very little to no support from his midfielders and was run over time and time again by the United midfielders.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Theo-Walcott-c34873: Failed to really make an impact in the game and was constantly pushed around by Evra. However, his goal produced a glimmer of hope for Arsenal early on.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380: Scored a good goal, missed a penalty. Didn’t have the support that he needed and was pushed around far too easily.
