Arsenal 2 (Cazorla, Ramsey) - 0 Liverpool
Szczesny - 7 - Another solid performance with a couple of good saves thrown in. Loses a point for a couple of strange decisions.
Sagna - 8 - Rarely troubled, and got an assist going forward.
Gibbs - 7 - Similar to Sagna without the assist.
Mertesacker - 8 - Never looked as if he was going to be troubled by the SaS strikeforce. Great reading of the game meant he was always in the right position.
Koscielny - 7- A couple of times he got done by Suarez, but overall a very steady show
Arteta - 9 - My MOTM, seemed to be in the right place all game (bar Hendersons chance) and controlled things from the deep role.
Ramsey - 8 - Another goal, and what a strike. Frustrated me a bit with his reluctance to shoot a couple of times, but he was obviously saving it!
Rosicky - 8 - Set the pace for us, and after a slow team start it was Rosicky who turned the game in our favour.
Ozil - 7 - Got another assist, but not his best game. Troubled Mignolet a couple of times as well, neat and tidy for most.
Cazorla - 8 - Looking like he has found his rhythm. Great composure to smash in the rebound from his own header.
Giroud - 7 - Kept the 3 CBs busy, winning headers and holding up play well.
Subs
Monreal - 6 - Did well when he replaced Gibbs.
Vermaelen - 6 - Solid
Jenkinson - too late to mark.
A great, albeit comfortable, win for the Arsenal

I agree with most of these. I think Szczesny deserves an 8 though, despite that error at the end; his aerial play was fantastic!
Koscielny got done a few times, but that's part of the parcel of being the centre-back required to get tight to the opposition.
In the same respects, Mertesacker looked untroubled, but that's partly because he dropped off a lot and let Arteta and Sagna cover for him.
I'd rate them both at an 8.

Szczesny lost a mark for the first half strange punch and a couple of other shaky moments. But also partly because Liverpool were a bit shot shy.

Definitely agree with Arteta MOTM. Rosicky and Giroud were also brilliant imo. I'd have given Giroud an 8, 9 if he had scored that chip. His hold up play and work rate was fantastic.
