Arsenal v Spurs - Player Ratings

Last updated : 23 April 2006 By Mike Bohndiek

Jol has no argument, especially since the Sky microphones have picked him up screaming to "play it" three times, while Eboue was still on the floor. But what more would you expect from Spurs? It is so typically classless of them and their fans. Had that been the other way around, they would have been screaming for blood! Never have I seen anyone be so happy to gain a 1-1 draw!

That incident cannot however sweep over the fact that we were truly awful yesterday. Until we felt a sense of injustice with their goal, we didn't look like we had any fight. The performance lacked conviction, heart, and application.

Having sacrificed this game for the Champions League, we had better make dammed sure we make it to the final.

Jens Lehmann (7) Had to make some good saves throughout.

Mathieu Flamini (5) Was given a torrid time by the pace of Lennon.

Philippe Senderos (6) A good first half display.

Kolo Toure (7) Saw us through some rough patches.

Johan Djourou (5) His inability to get forward did little to help our attacking display.

Jose Reyes (6) Grew into the game late on.

Abou Diaby (5) Had little impact.

Gilberto (7) A fine display.

Robert Pires (6) Looked tired.

Robin Van Persie (4) Didn't get into the game.

Emmanuel Adebayour (5) Another poor display. His first touch is a disgrace!

Subs:

Thierry Henry (7) Rescued a point for us.

Cesc Fabregas (7) Ran the midfield.
