So Arsenal couldn’t win two North London derby’s in a row, and they even let Spurs get there second ever win at the Emirates. This is not good, and it was a depressing game to watch. I thought we always came back once we went behind.
I was not happy so here are my ratings:
Cech 5
Cech was a great goalkeeper but it may be time to move somewhere easier. Not great at distribution either which is what Emery wants…
Maitland-Niles 6
Trying hard to get back to his rhythm, but needs a settled position to even have a chance.
Sokratis 6
Not awful, not brilliant. Tried to do his job but with a couple of errors..
Xhaka 5
We had the problem of Xhaka playing out of position in the Wenger days, can we put him back in the middle please?
Monreal 6
Obviously needs more time to get back into his rythm too..
Torreira 6
He said he was not used to so many games the other day. He needs a rest but who else can we replace him with?
Guendouzi 6
He plays more than anyone else but maybe he too needs a rest. Not a terrible performance…
Mkhitaryan 4
I’m not going to forgive him for that miss. It happens too often for my liking.
Ramsey 7
He is a trier, but he is fresher than most. Just needs to turn his energy into chances.
Iwobi 6
Mr Half-a-game tries to use his energy to tire the defenders, but of no other use whatsoever
Aubameyang 6
Hardly saw the ball. Needs Lacazette alongside him from the start. Maybe we would even win a first half one day!
Subs:
Koscielny 5
Let’s just admit he needs much more time (a lot more time) to be match fit..
Lacazette 6
He nearly-nearly scored as soon as he came on. Was Emery saving him for the big Burneley game?
Nketiah 6
This youngster has great promise, but maybe he’s not quite ready for the really big games?
