Vermaelen does an excellent job of reading the game and heading the ball when he can get a running start to his leap. However, at 5′11” he struggles against taller opposition in the box on set pieces. Add to that a goalie who does not exactly inspire confidence on high balls into the box and one can see why we struggle on set pieces.

This team is very much compared to a plane stalling in mid air it has completely lost its balance because wenger tinkers with it as if he was on the mythbusters show.

7 for Cesc, and you say he was let down by the midfield!!! He is the midfield maestro man and like Rosicky and Nasri (the forwards), he was crap. Only Song and the back four did a good job today..

Oh shut up Jazbo. Nasri, Eduardo, Rosicky AND Ramsey all had a p1ss poor game. Usually it’s just Diaby who has a p1ss poor game. It had nothing to do with Diaby’s absence.

Vela came on and almost set up Cesc and should’ve got a penalty yet you gave him the same rating as the worst players on the pitch? Theo kept on running and leaving the ball behind.

Vela did more in his time on the pitch than Eduardo did who was absolutely pathetic yesterday.

It might just be a coincidence but, no Diaby no strength in midfield, ltes just hope those jokers who slag him off see just what life is like without the big man in midfield.

Everybody played poor yesterday, but I feel that Traore’s performance was the worst of them all. Twice he left Malbranque unmarked who fortunately skewed his shots skyward, and he didn’t manage to cover the far post / left side of the box when we conceded the unlucky goal. There’s a reason why Traore is behind Gibbs in pecking order as Clichy’s deputy, and yesterday we saw why.

An off day at the office perhaps, let’s hope it’s a minor glitch. The game vs Liege is up next and hopefully the lads up their game and wrap things up for the knockout phase before the final group match.

We seemed pretty sluggish for most of the game, our passes went astray and Sunderlands physical game was really able to shut our game down. It was certainly painful to watch. Damn internationals…
