It was a dire defeat by Arsenal, but we all have to admit that that we were decimated by injuries and the Gunners were playing the best team in the country at the moment, Liverpool, who have won every single home game this season except for the draw against Man City, and are still unbeaten in the League after 20 games.
But despite that, we really didn’t put up much of a fight and wwere totally destroyed by Jurgen Klopp’s side. So here are my ratings…
Leno 5
You can’t really knock him as he made some good saves…
Lichtsteiner 3
He was a battler when he first played, but yesterday he was out of his depth.
Mustafi 3
I just hope he was injured which affected his game, but he was rubbish as far as I am concerned.
Sokratis 3
He has been very reliable usually but his best simply couldn’t cope with Liverpool’s strikers and had a very poor game.
Maitland-Niles 6
Great goal and tried hard. He is obviously a better winger than a defender and he is on the way to being a real future star for us.
Torreira 4
I said the other day that he looks like he needs a rest and yesterday proved it. But we have to remember we were playing the best team in the country. He seems to be not liking getting knocks at the moment and complains instead of getting on with it.
Xhaka 4
Couldn’t handle the pressure and could easily have been sent off. Did not impress me at all.
Kolasinac 4
Gone downhill recently. Has he really recovered from his injury?
Ramsey 5
I don’t understand why anyone would want to buy him in this form.
Iwobi 6
Even Emery said that has not been good recently, but he was our best forward yesterday. I agree…
Aubameyang 4
Not as effective as usual but didn’t get much service to be fair.
Subs:
Koscielny 4
Not much better than Mustafi
Lacazette 5
I would have preferred if Auba had stayed on the pitch as a partner, but he tried hard and should have had a stone certain penalty. Oh I am sure Emery knows what he is doing!
