Some of the Arsenal players can hold their heads high but some should hang theirs in shame.
Where to start? I am so deflated I cannot tell you. Actually, I do not need to as I know you all feel exactly the same.
This was as bad as it gets. Arsenal was so lucky that Southampton is woeful finishers, we could so easily have lost this game.
Anyway, enough whining, here is the player ratings.
Leno 6
He saved a penalty and was unlucky with the rebound and when you consider how many shots he has to contend with he at least deserves a half-decent rating
Bellerin 4
He did try but he looked unfit and yet he is not. His crossing was poor, his runs were ineffective and Southampton got far too much joy down the right.
Chambers 5
Very average but I have to ask, what did he do so wrong that he gets subbed and Sokratis stays on the pitch?
Luiz 4
Poor performance, we were playing Southampton and he looked ragged, imagine the joy Man City will have in a few weeks against him. He is a senior player and a leader yet spent half the afternoon blaming others for his errors.
Sokratis 2
An absolute liability, nothing more to say.
Tierney 6
Would have got a seven if it was not for the penalty. It was soft but never give the ref an opportunity to penalise you. The young lad did just that. However, he was effective down the flanks and was the shining light in a rank poor defence.
Torreira 5
He just looked knackered. He was full of energy early on but with so much pressure invited on because of the formation, he had almost no opportunity to be at his best.
Guendouzi 4
What did he actually offer? Yes, on occasions he made the odd tackle but that was about it. Energy and passion are not enough.
Ozil 8
Did very well in the first half and at one point was our last defender, could not believe my eyes. Not his fault the whole set up negates his creative talent. He showed passion and looked as if he actually cared. Hats off to him.
Lacazette 8
Arsenal man of the match, he saved us the loss. He was all over the place trying to make things happened so much so that he ended up playing more in midfield than in attack.
Aubameyang 4
I love Auba but that was no captains performance. He was largely anonymous and was generally poor.
Subs
Pepe 3
I so want this lad to show us what he really has but again he disappoints. He could have scored but really his contribution was almost zero and this game was perfectly set up for him with so much space available. Has to do better.
Willock 7
Saved the game with his goal-line clearance, had a chance of scoring as well and he was only on for 15 mins including injury time.
Martinelli 5
Average rating, did nothing much when he came on but hardly his fault was it?
Emery 1
Has to go, no ifs or buts.
