Raya 7.5 - Once again without him we’d have lost


White 6 - Gets caught far too far up the pitch


Saliba 7 - Solid


Gabriel 5 - Poor again, too easily outmuscled for their goal


Timber 5 - Can’t win headers


Partey 4 - Completely gone as a player, no passing ability, no engine


Rice 5 - Yes sending off was harsh, but he’s not a number 8 and it’s not helping us him being there


Odegaard 5.5 - Wasteful in good positions


Trossard 6 - Largely isolated


Havertz 7.5 - Could have done better when put through on goal, but lovely lobbed finish…didn’t do much wrong today


Saka 7.5 - Has been our best player this season, overworked



Subs


Califiori 6 - Don’t see anything special about him


Martinelli 5 - Didn’t have the chance to do anything as we were sat so deep


Zinchenko 5 - Fortunately didn’t see much of the ball



Given we are a team of defenders and defensive midfielders because that’s the way Arteta wants it, it seems bizarre to me that even with ten men that Minteh has an apalling amount of time and space to latch onto a pass from Lewis Dunk. They created despite the pace, possession and man advantage very little because of how deep we were sitting, but then they should have beaten us when they opened us up in an embarrassingly easy way.

Not sure what the purpose of a player like Jurrien Timber is, I think Gabriel is flirting with being dropped…not had a single competent game this season. Maybe if we played a proper full back and stopped all this inverted bollocks we actually would have a proper outlet on the left.

Partey reminds me of my cousins blind, deaf senile border collie with fucked back legs, not suffering but doesn’t really know what’s going on….would be kinder to euthanise.
