Brighton v Arsenal Player Ratings – Children please look away (and Emery)

The Gunners had an abysmal performance yesterday against a Brighton team that had lost their last 3 games and are probably worth in total as much as Aubameyang’s big toe! I think we could also all agree that Unai Emery didn’t have his best game for us either….

Anyway here are my ratings, this one is rated Over 18s only!

Leno 5
Call me radical, but could it be about time that Cech got another chance? Leno didn’t have much to do but should still be alert…

Lichtsteiner 3
His awful mistake for the goal must have dented his confidence because he didn’t get any better..

Sokratis 6
As solid as usual. He has grown on me. If only we had three of him!

Koscielny 5
Not as bad as Lichtsteiner!

Kolasinac 5
He has looked great recently, but sadly not in this game

Torreira 6
The Uruguayan looks like he desperately needs a rest, but he is still a trier

Xhaka 5
Needs to stay in midfield where has is still effective. Someone tell Emery he is not a defender please…

Guendouzi 5
Another tired young man. Maybe we need to remember he is still a kid really

Ozil 5
Rubbish in the first half, but he could have improved if he stayed on. Maybe… Perhaps…

Aubameyang 6
Great goal as usual. But drops rating for missing the next two. Where would we be in the League without his goals?

Lacazette 6
He makes Auba a better player and should never have been taken off..

Subs:

Iwobi 4
Replacing Ozil? Really?

Ramsey 4
He always needs regular game-time to get to his best. Not getting there at the moment..

Maitland-Niles 4
Not at his best in defence and looked a little unbalanced going forward..
