Another game and more dropped points from Arsenal. Although having most of the possession it was Cech who was the busier of the keepers. However, the one positive was the return of Wilshere.
Cech - 8 - Made sure Arsenal didn’t concede pulling off three great saves at the beginning of the 2nd half.
Bellerin - 6 - Didn’t have chance to get forward like usual and when he did his crossing was poor.
Mertesacker - 6 - Defended reasonably well but was lucky not to concede a penalty.
Koscielny - 7 - Thought he looked assured in today’s game.
Monreal - 6 - Defended well but his crossing was poor.
Elneny - 7 - Had another good game and seems to be the most consistent player at the moment.
Ramsey - 5 - Was poor today giving the ball away in the midfield.
Sanchez - 6 - Sanchez kept trying all game but nothing really came off.
Ӧzil - 6 - Didn’t really create a chance today and was on the fringes of the play all match.
Iwobi - 7 - Looked dangerous throughout the game but needed to be better in the final third but he looked like he may open the scoring on numerous occasions.
Giroud - 5 - Another poor performance from the Frenchman who has now gone 13 games without a league goal. Some of his hold play was okay but kept drifting to the left hand side.
Subs
Welbeck - 6 - Looked lively when coming on but needed longer
Walcott - 6 - Put in a couple of decent balls but couldn’t really get into the match.
Wilshere - N/A - Didn’t have time to influence the game
Overall, a poor performance and a disappointing result but it was nice to see Wilshere return to the first team although, it may be too late for him to make an impact. This season needs to be over as the fans are getting restless.
