Derby County v Arsenal - Player Ratings

Last updated : 01 May 2008 By Luis Anaconda

Dear, oh dear - how bad are Derby? Bad enough to be worse than Sunderland of a couple of years ago. The lads did quite well not to laugh

Lukasz Fabianski - 6 - Keen on leaving his line - perhaps too keen.

Kolo Toure - 7 - Great raiding from right back, not great shooting.

William Gallas - 6 - Fell asleep for second goal but who can blame him.

Alexandre Song - 7 - Continues an impressive run in the first team.

Gael Clichy - 7 - Same old, same old.

Emmanuel Eboue - 7 - A lively performance let down by some strange finishing.

Denilson - 8 - Assured passing and biting in the tackle.

Cesc Fabregas - 9 - Close to perfection.

Theo Walcott - 8 - Looked dangerous throughout but needs to work on finishing.

Nicklas Bendtner - 8 - Best game so far even if the opposition was so limited.

Robin van Persie - 7 - Right foot's better than his left at the moment.

Substitutes:

Emmanuel Adebayor - 8 - Great impact, fine dancing.

Gilberto Silva - 6 - Steady.

Johan Djourou - 6 - Nice to see him again.
