Arsenal players dish up another dose of rubbish.
There may come a time when the ratings can be done before the match because it is now so predictable.
One of the most basic requirements of a professional footballer is to hang on to the ball. Another is to complete simple passes. Requirements beyond the reach of these Arsenal players it seems.
No doubt Unai Emery will get the vast majority of the blame and it has to be said, rightfully so. But the players cannot be let off the hook, not when they cannot get the simple things right.
The ratings have been compiled with a deliberate attempt at being balanced. Not sure I have pulled it off considering what I have witnessed today.
Player Ratings
Leno 6
Positioning was suspect but he was fairly solid, Could not do much about the goals.
Bellerin 6
Did well going forward and not his fault he is surrounded by mediocrity.
Chambers 5
Decent first half but was seriously found wanting in the second half.
Luiz 4
How hard is it to keep the ball? Starting to look his age now.
Holding 3
Worst defender on the pitch. The only excuse is he may need more time to get back to his best.
Kolasinac 4
Pedestrian, especially in the second half.
Torreira 3
His form is very worrying. Playing like a very unhappy man.
Ozil 4
Seen it all before from the German. No longer surprised at his lack of effort.
Guendouzi 5
Again was busy and showed some drive but lacked creativity as usual.
Lacazette 5
He tried hard but with almost no service he struggled to get into the game.
Aubameyang 5
Another one that goes missing when there is no service.
Subs
Pepe 5
Average rating due to time he came on but did nothing worthwhile in the little time he had
Willock 5
Another average rating as not on long enough.
Manager
Emery 2
Weird team selection and sent the players out far too negatively.
