Let's not get carried away here but he did brilliantly tonight. Certainly deserves a run in the side. Mixed it physically with Dogbreath and made some vital clearances. Well played Johan. 8)

The whole team played well tonight but I have had serious doubts about Clichy recently. He got caught out a couple of times tonight as well. I wouldn't necessarily drop him but he does need to step up a bit or Gibbs will be pushing him hard for his place. I like Clichy a lot and I know he is much better than his form this season.

Agree with all of that lads. Djourou is a solid, fast, centre half who has always been injury prone. If we can pair him with Vermaelen and keep them fit they will be good. Though I think he'll go with Koscielny and Vermaelen.

As for Clichy? agree again. He's lost his cool, been caught out too many time for anyones liking of late.

A cracking result for us, despite what anyone says about Chelsea being out of sorts. Never heard a word about Lampard despite this huge comeback.

Clichy last great game was against Barca at the Nou Camp, if Gibbs can stay healthy, he will dislodge him. But with the gaffer you never know!

Played well, has taken a good step towards changing my perception of him. Keep at it Djourou, I don't mind being proven wrong if it helps Arsenal!

I'd rather buy Leighton Baines to be honest.

Clichy has been crap for two seasons now yet Wenger has never dropped him so what makes you think Wenger will now.

He hasn't really had anyone to drop him for.
