I am seriously not surprised by this performance. This was expected. This was coming. If, after this match Arsene fails to understand that we are 'really really really' short of quality, then I am sorry, he really needs to visit a Doc! He has serious mental problems! Waiting to sign a strong and experienced central midfield player for two months and not letting Media know about it, is not funny, is not clever, is not shrewd! It is STUPID! The player needs to come and settle down after playing some friendlies and training session matches.
If after this match, Arsene still remains obdurate and doesn't sign anybody, I think an UEFA Cup qualification looks out of the cards!
RESULT
Fulham 1 Arsenal 0 (Hangeland 21')
Alumunia: Didn't have any save to make the entire match. So, can't blame him for non-involvement. 2.5/10
Sagna: Worked really hard, but still doesn't have the finishing product, way too many wayward crosses, had lost the ball a few times, very unlike him. Still, I would say he was quite solid the entire match and we depend too much on our full-backs for delivery! That is a serious problem, needs to be addressed. 5/10
Toure: The only player who looked solid the entire match, ran back, slide tackled, cleared first time, did a very decent job. I still feel he is not 100%, that's the reason behind him being substituted. 5/10
Gallas: If a captain has 'zero' involvement in a game, then there are serious problems with a team. The goal that was scored was thanks to 'No Marking' at all from Gallas, he just left the player, offering him a candy, which the player rejected and found the back of the net. 'Inspirational' is not even a word in Gallas's dictionary! 3/10
Clichy: The guy worked really hard. Crossed into the D several times, but most were 10-year old crosses, with a huge loop or mostly wayward. He needs to work really hard on crosses, if Arsenal consider that as a part of Plan B for this season. He did lose some balls but made up for it by tracing back, well, he was the fastest man on the field for sure. 5.5/10
Walcott: Nothing! Simply nothing! He just goes into the middle to show his newly designed 'royal' sideburns, if he thinks that is charismatic and the fans come to see his bloody sideburns then I am really sorry! His performance is way below expectations in every match, the reason behind him getting subbed always! The guy is still to give one good match so far! 0.5/10
Denilson: As we knew, this guy was the only player in Arsenal Training mid-week, rest had gone for international duty, I guess he took his chances and went pubbing or brotheling or something! He was ridiculous, and that being a gross understatement. Oh come on, we can't give him any more time, he is in Arsenal for quite some time and he is a Brazilian, if he had it in him , he would have shown it by now. Oh btw, there were 11 wrong passes by him. Is that some record of sorts? 2/10
Eboue: The peanut brain lacks creativity heavenly, a central midfield player playing for Arsenal and lacking creativity is like asking a two-year old baby to beat the hell out of a Texas Night Club bouncer! The guy gave two very good runs down the middle, but was fouled on both occasions just before he was about to pull the trigger. That actually saved us some time, from bringing the ball back from the last tier of the stadium in case he had taken a shot! 3.5/10
Nasri: Had a very mediocre game, never made a single run into the 'D', no good pass to a striker. Not a single good corner. A wasted free-kick. And losing the ball many times! Overall, not at all impressive! 3.5/10
Missabayor: Well, he receives the ball, shoots the ball, and shoots it wide! That is like a routine, like we brush our teeth, have breakfast and go to office! Ada just doesn't finish. He doesn't win headers, doesn't distribute well. He just took one really good header which hit the post and was Arsenal's closest chance to square the game! 4/10
Van Persie: Outrageously ridiculous! Takes too many wide shots, wastes free-kicks, grossly wastes corners, I've never got more irritated before, seeing an Arsenal's player performance. I think he should start from the bench next match. Bendtner is much better than him as of now! OR Persie should be sent to Moscow or some other place for rehabilitation. He looks to me ill, dreadfully ill! 1/10
SUBS
Song: Came in as a replacement for Toure, that almost shocked everybody on the ancient planet Arkozobetalum 3SCv56r! I thought bringing him in place of Denilson would have been a better option. Arsene has seriously gone nuts! Song looked quite impressive in the few minutes he got on the pitch for himself! 4/10
Bendtner: The good thing about Niko is, he has the intent, he always looks to score, always looks to give that killer pass! He is a man in form and needs to start. He just has to start against the Magpies next time around! 3/10
I don't think this is the end of the world, at the end of 2nd week, we just might be one point below Manchester United, in the league table.
Overall: 3/10
Honestly speaking, after this performance, I don't fancy ourselves to win anything this season! Carling Cup is a possibility though, coz the kids are much better than this guys! We now just look for a miracle, the miracle which is also known as one CESC FABREGAS! It's him, or no silverware! Premature ehh? so, be it! :|
