Arsenal drop points once again and now lose ground on the leaders Manchester City. Arsenal took the lead through a goal by Mesut Ozil before being pegged back by Norwich. Norwich could have won the game if it wasn’t for an excellent save by Cech
Cech - 7 - Cech pulled off a wonderful save in the second half to get Arsenal a point and was his usual calm self.
Bellerin – 6 – Not a great performance by Bellerin who is having a poor run at the moment. His final ball was poor today.
Mertesacker – 7 – Defended well and was needed once Koscielny got injured.
Koscielny – N/A - Pulled up early with an injury
Monreal – 6 – Solid defensively but his final ball was poor all afternoon. Often got into good positions but wasted the final ball.
Flamini – 6 – Did okay but on another day may have conceded a penalty.
Cazorla – 6 – Tried to get Arsenal forward but struggled to find a killer pass.
Ramsey – 6 – A quiet afternoon on his return but should get better with more minutes.
Ozil – 7 – Got the Arsenal goal today and was involved in all the good things Arsenal did.
Sanchez – 7 – Played well and provided the assist. However, he pulled up with a hamstring injury which hopefully will not be as bad as it looked.
Giroud – 6 – Giroud was ineffective all afternoon and didn’t really have much to attack.
Subs
Gabriel – 6 – Could have done better for the Norwich goal but apart from that Gabriel dealt with most things comfortably.
Campbell – 6 – Didn’t really do much when he came on but tried to get the ball in when he could for Giroud.
Oxlade – Chamberlain – 6 - Looked lively when coming on after returning from injury. Maybe key now Sanchez has got injured.
After dropping points for the 2nd consecutive week Arsenal need to bounce back quickly. The biggest fear from the match is the injuries to Koscielny and Sanchez. Arsenal will be hoping these are small setbacks as at the moment these injuries are destroying the Arsenal side.
