WE all watched an amazing game last night at the Emirates, but even though some Arsenal fans were upset that we only came away with one point, in many other ways we were lucky that the Liverpool defence collapsed in the second half. So who do you think were the main men for Arsenal?
Here are my ratings….
Cech 7
I think that Cech did amazingly well with very little help from the defence. He had little chance with Liverpool’s goals but he was very strong on set-pieces and we would have easily lost without him.
Bellerin 6
One of his best games for ages. Helped out in attack but was rarely around to defend
Koscielny 4
The Boss seems to have lost his confidence and control of his fellow defenders. I think this could be his last season at this level
Monreal 5
He was run ragged by the Liverpool strike force and can’t seem tio keep up with the pace any more. But he tried…
Maitland-Niles 6 |
Considering who he was up against he did extremely well, and helped out up the field as well. Very promising performance in a difficult game
Xhaka 6
Great goal if a bit hopeful. Possibly improving at last but still not sure if he is really Arsenal class
Wilshere 7
He was keen but still seemed lost in the first half. Found his power in the second when he tried to cause problems
Iwobi 4
I’m still not convinced of his ability. Gives the ball away much too much for my liking. Needs to improve A LOT
Ozil 8
Brilliant goal and easily the best player on the pitch. God knows what we will do without him..
Alexis 6 Was his usual waste of space to start with but actually looked like he was trying in the second. I still don’t think he wants anything to do with us any more
Lacazette 7
Was given no help at all in the first half but caused Liverpool problems and set up the first goal like a boss
Subs:
Mustafi 5
I felt sorry for him as he helped the second goal into the net just after coming on, but at least he didn’t collapse like he did against United. Not in a good frame of mind at the moment after a very solid run in the side
Welbeck 5
Ran around a lot without much effect
Walcott
Was brought on as a wild card but not really sharp enough in the little time he was given
