Our crowd came across as very supportive of the team today, lots of encouragement and there were even lots of people still there at the end of the match
Fully deserved victory (even baby Redknapp said so) although it did look like it was going to be one of those days again, lots of possesion little penetration but plenty of bad luck (TV5 blocking RVP, header v post, Tv5 on his wrong foot slicing the ball) City created very little to worry us apart from a peach of a chance for an overhead kick by Ballotelli
.
Sagna was awsome despite 3 dirty challenges by Ballotelli (side note, what is the point in the ref being miked up to the 4th official if he doesn't alert him to that type of dangerous challange)
Santos was more of an inside left than a full back, which was where he could provide a bit of width.
Theo was anonamous really, most of the time receiving the ball when stationary and therefore not effective.
Song got "sacked" far too often by dilling on the ball and trying to beat 2 or 3 people.
Rosicky worked hard and put in a good shift as did Arteta.
TV5 had a much better performance than last week (thank god)
Kompany and Lescott coped very well with RVP, but we made it too easy for them by putting too many up and under balls which were meat and drink, can't think of a time when we got behind them apart from the last minute when Ramsey had all the time in the world to play a simple ball across for RVP to slot home but went for glory himself and fluffed it bad.
We will miss Kos now for 2 matches, v Wolves and Wigan
I wonder if Wenger noted that the goal came from a ball winning challenge, a strong drive forward and then a shot. simple, quick and effective, non of this pass, pass, pass, pass, pass nonsense.
that it's even hard to believe, he should have gone out when he assulted Song.
