Titolo: I voti di ieri

Manuel Almunia - 6.5 - Held on to some shots well, but occasionally lost
communication with his defenders. Couldn't do much with Fowler's free kick
as it was mis-hit anyway.
Justin Hoyte - 7 - A solid defensive display. No-nonsense clearances and
generally impressive despite not being able to get forward often.
Phillipe Senderos - 7.5 - Commanding performance from a very promising
talent. Looked rather comfortable throughout the match and did his job well.
Pascal Cygan - 8 - Captain for the night and put in a very impressive
performance. A good experienced player to have on the pitch with all the
youth out there.
Sebastian Larsson - 8 - Not naturally a left-back, not even left footed, but
kept Willo Flood and Shaun Wright-Phillips very quiet on the right flank.
Didn't get forward much either, but his defending was spot-on, considering
he plays a midfield role for the Reserves.
Jermaine Pennant - 8 - One of our more experienced youngsters. Started on
the right, but played the way Wenger likes as he drifted into the middle and
even out to the left on occasions to get himself into the game. Very
influencial and knowing this was a chance for him to impress, he took the
chance.
Mathieu Flamini - 7 - Nothing special, but that's not really his job. Had a
couple of shots from long range and played a very good part in van Persie's
opener.
Francesc Fabregas - 7.5 - Not as glamarous as he is when surrounded by the
more experienced players, but did a very good job as usual with neat
passing, including a clever through-ball for Karbassiyoon's goal.
Ryan Smith - 6.5 - Didn't get very much of the ball, but looked good when he
had it. The kind who likes to run at defenders, but for his first proper
game since his return from injury, he did well. Went off injured on 61
minutes.
Robin van Persie - 7.5 - Not the performance I expected from him, but it was
only his first start for the club and he marked it with a well-taken goal.
Some nice touches throughout the match, but I think there is more to come
from him.
Arturo Lupoli - 5.5 - The potential is there, but at only 17 he still needs
time. The step-up from Reserve level to first team football showed, but he
did enough to show he is one for the future with some decent shots and
awareness with his passing. Subbed off on 82 minutes.
Quincy Owusu-Abeyie - 7 - I don't think I'd be exaggerating if I said the
game changed when he came on (For Smith on 61 minutes). I didn't think much
of him last year, but he has cut out the step overs and gets on with it.
Showed great pace and confidence and provided our attack with what it was
lacking.
Daniel Karbassiyoon - 7 - The versatile American who replaced Lupoli on 82
minutes, didn't need much time to settle with an excellent goal at the
death. Very difficult to finish from that sort of angle, but he didn't panic
and took his goal very well and may just have secured him a place in the
team, or at least the bench, for the next round, because I doubt he would've
played if Gaël Clichy was fit.
Johan Djourou - Replaced Pennant right at the end, so didn't do anything
worthy of note.

 Pascal Cygan - 8 -
Hai visto? E pensare che Wenger l'aveva offerto gratis a meza Europa appena 
tre mesi fa*.
* = sono ovviamente sarcastico.

Dredg - Same ol' road 

 aveva giocato bene?
Più che altro c'è quell'8 a Cygan che significa che i voti vanno abbassati
di almeno 1 punto, non ha senso un 8 a Cygan!!!

i voti non gli ho scritti io... io avrei messo almeno 6,5 a Lupoli..... si
e' mosso bene... era solo un po inesperto davanti dove i suoi compagni di
reparto avevano piu' esperienza e meno da perdcere.... poi il voto e' magari
negativo per colpa delle due occasioni che si e' grossolanamente mangiato...

 -- 
ad ogni modo ieri ha giocato bene.... ed aveva davanti gente esperta coem
Fowler.... ma devo anche dire che con Sederos era abbastanza facile....
Cygan, comunque, era sotto l'attenzione di tutti due anni fa.... fece bene
in Cl con la squadar francese e tutti si attendevano di piu'... magari non
si e' ambientato bene...e comuqnue io lo venderei..;-)

 occasioni che si e' grossolanamente mangiato...
Capito.
