Arsenal player ratings from Norwich draw – Ozil MOTM

There were some good performances from the Arsenal players at Carrow Road yesterday, despite the problems and the disappointing result, with Alexis Sanchez before his injury and Santi Cazorla doing well for Arsenal but I have gone for Mesut Ozil as my Man of the Match because he capped his game with our only goal.

Cech 8 – Exposed for the goal but without him we would have got nothing. One truly world class save.

Bellerin 5.5 – Struggled to have much effect at either end of the pitch.

Mertesacker 6.5 – Decent game under pressure from the big German.

Gabriel 5 – Bad mistake let Norwich back in and changed the game.

Monreal 7 – Our best defender and got forward well. Better crossing might have got us the win.

Flamini 6.5 – Solid game from Coquelin´s replacement apart from that one rash penalty scare.

Cazorla 7 – Usual class from Santi who deserved more help.

Ramsey 6 – Rusty as expected but comes central way too much.

Ozil 8 – Brilliantly taken goal and some great interplay.

Alexis 7.5 – Created our goal and always a threat. How we will miss him.

Giroud 5.5 – Was he playing? OKay it was hard work for the striker but he has to do more. We need Walcott back asap.

subs:
Campbell 6 – Tried hard but he is no Alexis Sanchez.

Chamberlain 6 – We looked better after he replaced Ramsey. Needs a run of games though.
