Taylor - Brilliant. Kept Blues in the game but by his own admissions should have stopped the Arsenal goal.
Tebily - Did well in a centre-back role.
Clapham - Good, solid performance.
Upson - Obviously didn't impress the onlooking England manager.
Cunningham - Was playing ok up until the sending off.
Pennant - Good first half but with Blues down to ten men spent most of the second period in his own half.
Johnson - Worked hard and a little unlucky in conceding the penalty.
Clemence - Excellent return.
Gray - Ok first half but appeared to switch off in the second.
Heskey - Isolated after a good first half hour.
Pandiani - Ditto Heskey. Never threatened.
Subs:
Lazaridis - Nice to see him back.
Forssell - Not on long enough to make a difference.
Subs not used: Vaesen, Painter, Aluko.
