Match Ratings Ratings vs Arsenal

seanwhite1961 · Feb 10, 2018

Davies has cemented himself into first choice LB. No contest. Rose had crossing above him and we've seen Davies surpass him there.

2 players very poor in finishing: Deli for not lobbing Cech, Lamela for not squaring across to find Eriksen. Additionally, Lamela's PL ratio of cards to goals must be nearing 10 to 1.

Lloris - 7 nothing to do

Davies - 7 lovely assist, not much defending to do

Verts - 7 standard solid Vertonghen effort

Sanchez - 8 unbelievable poise for a 21 y/o in 1st NLD (save the last gaffe)

Trippier - 7.5 gave Arsenal fits on the right

Dier - 7 no complaints

Dembele - 8 just bossed their midfield all day

Dele - 7 did his Dele thing well

Eriksen - 7.5 really impressed with his work rate and how much pitch he covers

Son - 7.5 main threat in the first half

Kane - 8 unlucky not to have 2 or 3

Coulda been 4-0 but Im happy to create the chances and win by one. Eventually the goals will come in buckets.

Dembele for me. Would have been Kane but he missed some sitters, not like him at all.

That match reaffirmed, once again, how much I hate Arsenal'

I hate Chelsea more but i love beating Arsenal more. I know it doesnt make sense but thats how it is.

Dele's chance wasnt an easy one at all, and Im just happy to see Lamela creating chances again.

Everyone but Dembele and Kane - 7
Kane - 8
Dembele - 10 by far MOM. This game was far too easy for him.

Special mention to my man Coco. Lol Jacqueline Wheelchair

For all the talk of Wilshere being this great midfielder (I’ve never witnessed it), why isn’t Dembele held in such esteem?

I'm not saying it was easy, although it didn't look that hard, but there was an obvious scoring option to take and he didn't.

With Lamela the issue is: we paid up to £30m for a slinky winger who scored goals, a player to open up defences. We've still got a player who has regressed to firming up midfield and getting many more cards than goals.

Gave you a winner - but its only half a winner.

Davies, on current form, is certainly ahead of Rose. A couple of lovely tackles again today.

he missed a year of football. he's nowhere close to his peak form yet, and he's obviously (to me) getting better each week. and Ive never been his biggest fan around here.

Dembele’s rise to greatness again couldn’t have come at a better time. If he didn’t suffer from injuries the way he does, he’d be acknowledged as one of our greatest midfielders of the last 50 years. Unplayable today. My littl’un was at the game with me and genuinely said ‘why can’t anyone tackle Dembele, it’s like they're not allowed’. I just hugged him and said that he’s only 25% human and 75% beast.

Eriksen & Dele ran their socks off today, Davies & Trippier were great down the flanks and Kane was excellent. In fact everyone had a great game, especially second half. Should’ve won by 4 or 5.

What a couple of weeks. Bring on Juve!

Lol you need to lower your expectations. The guy has been out for a whole year and still finding form and fitness. The facts of the matter are though, in his last 3 games he has made positive impacts in each them - being fouled for a game saving penalty, goal and motm in another and today creating chances, getting into goal scoring positions and pressing like a motherfucka.

Woodham Wanderer · Feb 10, 2018

Just back from the match and the obvious motm is Dembele- someone else described him as beast which is a pretty apt description. All in all the team did really well, Alli again another good game, always a starter for me. First half we looked a bit light on the left as they threatened but bar that great performance

I think I could be as right on Lamela as I was with Gomes.

My verdict on Gomes, to the consternation of many on here, was that he was too erratic, had poor judgement on interceptions and that flashy saves were no compensation for that.

With Lamela, I think it's shown England doesn't suit him. We've seen very few of the qualities that were at Roma. The biggest sign is the amount of yellows he picks up, something I see as over-compensation for not being a goal scorer. I'd be surprised if he doesn't start season 2019 in Italy.

Davies was brilliant. I love his crunching tackles and that ball in was exceptional.

Moose was class, Sanchez was solid and Dele really put himself about.

We outplayed them and bar haphazard finishing, we’d have spanked them.

Wenger has real issues. A whole team of flimsy fannies. They shirked every 50:50.

Japhet · Feb 10, 2018

Moussa. Absolute class.

southlondonyiddo · Feb 10, 2018

Mousa MOTM today. Would have loved to see him in that form v De Bruyne at Man City

Great team performance and I thought we absolutely smashed them especially that first 30 mins of the second half. As good as we’ve seen

If that had been 4/5-0 I’m not sure many gooners would have had much to moan about

Shame we couldn’t enjoy until the Ref blew the final whistle though!

did you watch the game?

Really everyone was very good, hard to fault anyone except some dodgy finishing. That said, I voted Dele since I thought he really showed some amazing skills and in a constructive way.
What most impressed me, was the feeling that we just basically bossed them...it felt like watching us against top teams say 10 or so years ago, when our powder-puff players were terrified off that pitch. That was us for so long, that's Arsenal now.
When Ozil stood over the ball for the last free kick, I had a moment of surprise. I hadn't noticed he was on the pitch.

Fowl! · Feb 10, 2018

Everyone an 8 except Demble who was a 10.

He is unique, and looks like he has a lot of miles left on the clock to me.

Cech would have been motm but he lost so is disqualified.
