Rob Hutchison, succinct as ever, gives his single word assessments of those who donned the green and gold at Arsenal yesterday. This was one of our better defeats, if there can be such a thing, and to quote Rob the scoreline was unreflective of a great performance. He is also critical of the Arsenal fans saying “never seen such a sterile home crowd as they win 3-1.” Highbury the Library had a great ring to it. Best I can come up with for the Rupert and Monty set who turn up to Ashburton Grove is The Emirates Inanimates.
Here’s how Rob saw things:
Pants 6 adequate
Pva 6 sharp
O’Shea 6 focussed
Kaboul 7 composed
Coates 6 disciplined
Yedlin 5 stretched
Toivonen 6 improving
M’Vila 8 authoritative
Borini 4 flat
Watmore 7 handful
Fletcher 6 boisterous
Johnson 5 impactless
Rodwell 5 anon
Lens 5 wasteful
Big Sam 7 astute

Rodwell:Anon. Sums him up every time he plays.
Yes but!
From which foot came the best pass of the game? Not Ozil’s to Campbell, nor Watmore to Borini. Rodwell to PVA
One pass doth not a player make. (Aristotle)
Didn’t Aristotle play full back for Brazil in the 1998 World Cup?
