As usual when we play Man United, we had most of the possession but were let down by our finishing and defending, whereas United had 4 shots on target and score 3 goals! So I’m hardly going to give good ratings except for the star of the show…
Here are my ratings:
Cech 4
Not one of his best displays. It doesn’t look like he will have many more cup games to play in before he retires if he has performances like that!
Maitland-Niles 5
Lively going forward but he simply doesn’t suit playing in defence, but having said that he was our best defender on the night!
Sokratis N/A
It’s not good that he was forced off with a knee injury after 20 minutes and we can only hope it’s not serious. Once he went off we went two down!
Koscielny 5
Didn’t replicate his game against Chelsea. It’s hard to know if he is ready for regular gametime. But he could be having another rest if he has a broken jaw.
Kolašinac 5
Like Maitland-Niles he is not really a defender. As it was a back four I wonder why Monreal wasn’t used?
Torreira 5
Is he burnt out already? It doesn’t look like he is coping with constant games at the moment…
Xhaka 6
Very up and down which is better than his usual performances..
Ramsey 6
Played very well, but as usual no end product.
Iwobi 5
Lots of energy and he tries hard, but he really needs to find his scoring boots soon or all his effort is for nothing.
Aubameyang 6
Was in the right place for our goal but otherwise little impact
Lacazette 8
Worked his socks off and deserved more for his efforts…
Subs:
Mustafi 6
Not too bad after replacing Sokratis, but he still makes me nervous
Ozil 5
He got the ball a lot after he came on, but didn’t do much with it…
Guendouzi 6
I love Matteo’s energy, but couldn’t do much today
