Arsenal’s fifth League away defeat in a row seems to have surprised everyone, but isn’t that just the norm nowadays? How can our home form be so good but be totally rubbish on the road?
Anyway, for what it’s worth, here are my ratings…
Cech – 5
He blamed defensive errors but could have done better himself
Chambers – 6
Our best defender in the game and he even had 3 shots. The same as PEA and Laca!
Mustafi – 3
Our great hopes in the German international seem to have been misfounded. Too many mistakes consistently
Holding – 5
The youngster probably needs more games to find some form. disappointing so far
Monreal – 4
Not his usual consistent self and hardly got forward either
Xhaka – 6
His passing is getting better but he only looked good in fits and starts
Elneny – 5
Our best passer on the day, but not up to his usual standard
Willock – 5
Not bad for his start but missed a sitter and faded away after the break
Iwobi – 6
A standard performance i.e. Not as bad as usual. In fact one of his best!
Lacazette – 6
Great goal and should have had another if he hadn’t erroneously passed to Willock
Aubameyang – 6
Didn’t score for a change but a brilliant assist for our only goal
Subs too late as usual N/A
