Sanchez : 9 TWO FREAKING GOALS

Cazorla 6 not in my book should have had three goals.

Monreal - 7
Cazorla - 3, absolute trash player
Ox- 2, waste of oxygen
Sanchez - only player who doesn't bottle it infront of goal

Ox came good towards the end after a poor first hour. He also did some defensive work which really helped, especially after Bellerin came on and without him I think we could have conceded. For that Id give him 5 or 6.

And that crazy moment by Szcz, it looked to me like he would have got back in time if he had not been obstructed. I want to see that incident again though to be completely sure.

Szczesny - 4 -agree
Chambers - 6 - agree
Gibbs - 6 - solid but is a crock
Mertesacker - 6 - solid
Monreal - 7 - good performance
Arteta - 6 - no major mistake
Flamini - 5 - Okay
Cazorla - 4 - Struggled
Chamberlain - 4 - poor
Alexis - 8 - without him we wouldnt score
Welbeck - 4 - poor

Szczensy - 5
Chambers - 6
Monreal - 7 - Not easy for either Nacho or Mertesacker after the week they had, but they were both solid today
Mertesacker - 7 - Good leadership
Gibbs - 6 - hope its just a sore knock from that kick to the hip and nothing serious
Arteta - 7 - Good leadership and so good at helping us keep possesion.
Flamini - 5 - Why instead of Ramsey?
Cazorla - 4 - Get your shooting boots on lad. Poor passing too. Losing patience.
Oxlade Chamberlain - 3 - Same story, nothing went right for him, starting to be concerned that this guy won't make it at Arsenal, looks nothing better than a decent sub.
Sanchez - 8 - Work rate of a champion, cool finishes. Overall game today could have been better, but he terrifies oppositions.
Welbeck - 5 - Not a lot of room for him today. Always going to be the case. Looks a bit jaded. Unlucky with that header.

Hello my name is ......totally agree with your scores. Can't believe the performances we are putting in and our lazy manager does nothing about it. Hope monaco prize him away.

Chesney 5 - had a late rush of blood that could have cost us dear

Chambers 7 - Solid in RB and switched seamlessly into CB late on
Mertesacker 6 - Another dependable performance but a little below his usual standards
Monreal 7 - Played well out of position but looked more natural after replacing Gibbs
Gibbs 6 - Decent enough performance but another injury worry
Bellerin 6 - A little too gung-ho when he came on but he will learn in time

Arteta 6 - First game for us in a while and it showed towards the end
Flamini 6 - Good but unexceptional display
Cazorla 4 - Very wasteful shooting detracted from an otherwise decent performance
Ox 5 - Showed that he's a far better player coming on as a sub than when he starts
Sanchez 8 - Easily our best player, even if he was gifted his chances today
Welbeck 5 - Industrious but in need of a rest, and it showed

I agree with this. I only caught the last half an hour, but Chamberlain looked like one of our brightest sparks in that timeframe.
Pretty much every counter-attack we had was launched by him, and had Cazorla had shown more composure in front of goal, we could be lauding Chamberlain for playing a key part in a number of goals.

I can appreciate the criticisms of Chamberlain - he is quite profligate in possession. But other than Sanchez, I'd say he's the only player who can effectively carry the ball forward and take his man on in the wide areas.
I think he's generally quite underappreciated.

He carries the ball forward and does nothing with it. What's the point.

If you think Cazorla is a trash player after a few shaky games, you are an idiot.

His running helped create 3 or 4 opportunities for Cazorla and Welbeck - which were then spurned.

This

I'm sorry op but those ratings are utterly ridiculous.

Santi and arteta getting the same score

We got a clean sheet and were relatively untroubled in defence. All should have a 7 min. Szez 6 for that stupid crazy moment when u almost gifted a goal.

Cazorla has been trash all last season and is getting even worse this season, ship out the wasteman in january

Some of them are, but I think some are pretty objectively a lot to do with Chamberlain. In particular, when he ran from his own half, switched it to Welbeck which left Welbeck and Cazorla two on-one down the left-hand side, only for Cazorla to tamely hit it into Mannone's hand.
Also, the two-on-two with Cazorla and Bellerin - which really should have been a goal, but resulted in Bellerin chipping a cross into Mannone after Cazorla had dallied - was the product of Chamberlain's forward ball after running from his own half.

Szcz - 5

Chambers - 6 (Bellerin - 4)
Mertesacker - 5
Monreal - 5
Gibbs - 6

Arteta - 4
Flamini - 4
Cazorla - 4
Chamberlain - 2
Sanchez - 7
Welbz - 6

harsh Kam on our defensive players. Think Merte and Monreal were solid.
