Another poor performance and the player ratings reflect that.
Normally I wait a couple of hours before I stick the player ratings up but I have a sneaky feeling Unai Emery may be gone tonight and that will be the focus of upcoming articles.
Also, I am not sure the players deserve for emotions to be calmed. This time they will be rated while the fury is still raw.
Martinez – 6
Cannot really blame him for the goals, did as well as expected I suppose.
Tierney – 6
Did ok in defence but where was the blistering runs up the flank we were lead to believe he would bring?
Mustafi – 7
Thought he put in another solid performance, do not blame him for the second goal because he took a knock and you could see that on his face.
Sokratis -3
He was poor, no idea how he keeps getting in the team, made one good stop from memory and that was it.
Chambers – 4
Did about ok in defence but was woeful going forward, he is not a wing-back.
Luiz – 5
He looked ok in the defensive midfield role but his first touch was poor, was subbed early due to injury.
Xhaka – 6
Had a fairly decent game all things considered but was lacking going forward.
Willock – 8
The youngster was electric in the first half but went into his shell in the second. Best Arsenal player tonight.
Martinelli – 6
A decent performance and was unlucky not to score in the first half but faded as the game went on.
Saka – 5
Showed a lot of energy and that was really about it. Average game.
Aubameyang – 5
Gets a five purely because of his goal otherwise would have been a four. Another poor game it has to be said.
Subs
Guendouzi – 5
Poor first touch. offered no creativity at all.
Ozil – 5
Just average when he came on, made no difference.
Torreira – 5
Did what he could but he is no game-changer, strange substitution when you are a goal down.
