A draw and a win

Don’t really have time to write too much about this….So we have a 2-2 draw with Aston Villa and a narrow 1-0 win over Portsmouth during the Christmas period. The performance wasn’t satisfactory to me, but I was ok with the results given that we had missed Fabregas, Walcott, Rosicky, Eduardo, etc.

Sagna: 8.5 – Defensively solid.

Gallas: 8 – Looked solid at the back.
Djourou: 8 – Strong and fast, and read the game really well. Unfortunate for [...]
