Arsenal v Rennes Player Ratings – I’m giving MOTM to the youngster

Arsenal had to beat Rennes by two clear goals on Thursday night, and they did it in style by scoring the necessary double before even a quarter of the game was over. I can’t really knock anyone and as a team performance it’s worth an 8 all day….

MY RATINGS:

Cech – 7
Didn’t have a lot of saves but did when needed. He desperately wants to win this as every trophy Arsenal have won since his arrival, Cech has rarely played in!

Mustafi – 7
Not such a bad game, but he always has one mad moment

Koscielny 8
Another captain’s performance. Keep it up Boss…

Monreal – 7
If only him and Kos had been fit all season…

Maitland-Niles – 9
Another great performance by the youngster. Should be automatic start if he carries on like this.

Xhaka – 8
I think he is becoming the top midfielder and leader we were hoping for. Shame it took so long – but I’m not complaining..

Ramsey – 8
Excellent all-round performance again. Gonna be missed!

Kolasinac – 8
He definitely suits Emery-ball. Great in attack and defence

Ozil – 6
Again he’s not firing on all cylinders yet.

Aubameyang – 8
Brilliant until after his celebration. Did that affect his attitude?

Lacazette – 6
Not one of his best performances. Lucky Aubz stepped up

Subs:

Mkhitaryan – 6
Nothing to complain about. He has improved greatly lately

Iwobi – 6.
Another one enjoying his football lately. Good effort

Torreira – N/A
