Win as a team, lose as a team. Most players performed a bit better. Vermaelen Manonne Arteta

Cheers Chris. You can't buy class - its not like the title didn't warn you.

Sick of Ramsey and vermaelen bashing by the way. I don't think they were any worse than the rest of the team.

Vermaelen wasn't that bad I don't think. Cazorla definitely wasn't 7 either, Theo perhaps deserves a 7.

Mannone: 4, awful display
Vermaelen: 5.5, at fault for the 2nd goal
Merte: 6, could perhaps have done better for 1st goal.
Koscielny: 5.5 poor 1st half, OK 2nd
Sagna: 5.5 average defensively and poor going forward

Arteta: 4 bad mistake for their penalty and crumbled under the pressure.
Coquelin: 5.5 offered little
Cazorla: 6 again quiet, did produce a couple of moments but needs to improve, not like there wasn't much space either.

Poldi: 6.5, well taken goal and fairly neat but needs to work harder. Might have scored again if Walcott had found him instead of shooting.

Theo: 7 worked hard and produced two good crosses but a couple of occasions where his vision let him down.

Giroud: 8 excellent display, well taken goals and full of desire and character, unlike most of the team.

Arshavin - you cant rate a player for playing 5 min.

Gunnerthru how was ramsey our worst player?! He gave away the ball once badly just after coming on, but otherwise he was fine!!

As I said, fed up of people just saying he's awful when he's doing no worse than the rest of the team.

Undercover, he slows down our midfield game when we need pace as usual. He gave the ball away to often. His passing game my god why do I need to discuss it. Non existent. He did it all 20 min. I think it deserve to be one of our worst player.

Agree with gunnerthru tbh.
