Match Report 061112 at Arsenal: Nightmare

0-3 and we have absolutely no desire to win. We failed completely. The defense was a nightmare, the midfield lack strength after Momo's injury, and the attack has no goal provided. We just don't have any reason to win.

To think positive, we have now played all the tough away wins. Perhaps we are now in the home straight till the end.

Players Rating:
Reina: 6 One of the better defensive player and he did his best to minimize the damage.
Finnan: 5 Pedestrian.
Carragher: 5 Can count himself lucky to be still on the pitch at the end.
Hyyppia: 5 Too slow to contain the Arsenal attack.
Riise: 5 Him and Gerrard are to be blamed for the third goal.
Gerrard: 5.5 Poor condition.
Alonso: 6.5 One of the better player, but he can't do two men's job.
Zenden: 5.5 Missed many chances, but at least he tried.
Gonzalez: 5 Can't penetrate the Arsenal defense.
Kuyt: 5.5 A quiet game.
Crouch: 5.5 Scored an offside goal, but other than that very quiet.

Substitutions:
Pennant: 6 Tried hard but not much impact.
Bellamy: 6 Scored another offside goal.
Agger: 6 Not enough time to impress.

Rafa: 5 Need to sort out the defensive mess immediately.

Arsenal: 7 Played well on their home ground.

Man of the Match: Alonso. But other players need to help him as well.
