UEFA Champions League Player Ratings – Udinese vs Arsenal – Arsenal
Arsenal took on Udinese in the second leg of their Champions League qualifier. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429’s season pretty much depended on the game, as the team needed a win to get more funds to sign players and potentially salvage their season. Despite Udinese putting up
a good fight, Arsenal ended up on top with a score line of two goals to one and with the overall aggregate favouring the Gunners by three goals to one.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wojciech-Szczesny-c36998: The Gunners keeper seems to finally be filling in the boots that Seaman left at the club. He made some brilliant saves and even managed to prevent Di Natale from converting a penalty.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bacary-Sagna-c7148: Despite the left back spot not being his favoured, he went on to produce a brilliant display against Udinese. He was consistent and to the point. He played a brilliant ball to set Walcott off, as he scored the Gunners second goal of the game.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thomas-Vermaelen-c35002: He was strong, bold and direct. Was good in aerial battles, but was very unlucky to concede a penalty for a handball in the area.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Johan-Djourou-c18779: Helped Vermaelen out throughout the game. Was quite solid and seemed to finally be living up to the standards he set last season.
Carl Jenkinson: Seems to be fitting into the Gunners line up brilliantly. Despite being a teenager, he makes all the right movements, passes and his tackling if anything is top notch.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aaron-Ramsey-c3065: The midfielder proved just how intelligent he really is last night. He made brilliant passes throughout the game and linked the attack to the defence flawlessly. He won a number of tackles and was just brilliant overall.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-Song-c4804: Seemed to be missing in the first half, but really sprang into life in the second. Was all over the pitch, making tackles, creating passes and winning possession.
Emmanuel Frimpong: The youngster was quite good in the game. He used his physic brilliantly and won a number of tackles. However, with a little bit more maturity, he can really become something great.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380: The Dutch striker maintained his brilliant goal scoring run for the year, as he picked up another away goal for the Gunners. Dropped back a number of times to help out the midfield and seemed to be in a class of his own.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Theo-Walcott-c34873: Was missing for major parts of the game, but made up for it by scoring a brilliant goal, mostly thanks to his tantalizing pace.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gervinho-c14755: Finally proved his true worth, as he had an outstanding game. Beat numerous players and set up the Gunners attacker with goal scoring opportunities on a number of occasions.
