i also think ashley cole is a better tackler, and i think cliche is better attacking forward.

You might have a case with the first point, but Evra isn't weak in the tackle at all, definitely up there with the likes of Cole. I wouldn't agree with the second point at all though. Evra is far, far more productive than Clichy imo. You look at big games, any games even, and Park plays in front of Evra meaning Evra has to provide the width on the left hand side, many, many goals come from Evra's forward attacking runs.

I don't watch a lot of Clichy but from when I have watched him I wouldn't say he is better at attacking than Evra, in fact United rely on Evra as an attacking force far more than Arsenal do on Clichy imo.

Also;

quote Magic Hat

Clichy is one of the most overatted attacking players of all time, he gets forward, he is quick but that's about it.

... and that's an Arsenal fan. (I think)

It shouldn't really be surprising some may say that Evra had a bad game yesterday seeing as he is just back from injury, it was his fifth match in ten days, but that shouldn't detract from the brilliance of Lennon.

Well this game was a massive confidnet boost for players like Wellbeck, Foster, Evans and co. Also, I think that anderson came on and played extremly well - added a whole new dimention to the game.
