West Ham v Arsenal Player Ratings – Mediocre scores for a mediocre game

It looks like Arsenal have lapsed back into our depressing away form from last season and lacked any confidence or fight to cope with a well-organized West Ham side

Leno 6
Had absolutely no chance with the goal but otherwise played okay

Mustafi 5
Let’s hope he just lacked match fitness and will improve by next week!

Koscielny 6
Best game since his return. Hopefully will be ready for a big game against Chelsea

Sokratis 6
Also returning to his best. Fingers crossed we can get a settled defence at last.

Maitland-Niles 5
Not his best performance but came close to getting an equalizer.

Xhaka 4
Back to his usual mediocrity. Needs Torreira alongside him I think.

Guendouzi 5
He also needs Torreira and certainly shouldn’t be starting ahead of him. Not up to Prem speed yet in my eyes

Kolasinac 5
Tried to get forward and hopefully getting back to his best.

Iwobi 6
Nearly scored but as usual it was off target. Never a replacement for an Ozil even if the German is off form!

Lacazette 6
Our best striker and had a go but the force wasn’t with him.

Aubameyang 5
Definitely lost his scoring boots lately. An off-day that will not continue next week I hope!

Subs:

Ramsey/Torreira/Bellerin 6
I hope Emery was just resting these three ahead of Chelsea next week, but I think it was a big mistake starting all three on the bench. Sort it out Unai!
