Petr Cech - 8 - Great save from Martial just before half time saved us all a few worries, and another good stop from Schweinsteiger. Pretty quiet match in all honesty for a well rested Cech.
Hector Bellerin - 7 - Didn't have too much to deal with. Saw off Depay by half time. Involved in a couple of the goals.
Per Mertesacker - 6 - Solid partnership with Gabriel. Let Martial in just before half time, and a couple of times got done for pace.
Gabriel - 7 - No real problems. Looked comfortable besides Per.
Nacho Monreal - 7 - Decent joining the attack, comfortable in defence.
Francis Coquelin - 7 - Made tackles, broke up play, and involved in the first and third goals in an advanced position.
Santi Cazorla - 8 - So comfortable. Helped us dominate the game early on. Great passing started moves for the first two goals.
Mesut Ozil - 8 - Sublime. From the very first minute he was finding the right ball, set up the opener and a sweet finish for his goal.
Aaron Ramsey - 6 - Involved in the third, but by far the quietest of our attacking players.
Alexis Sanchez - 9 - What a finish for the first. And the third tbf. Darmian couldn't handle him. Brilliant performance.
Theo Walcott - 8 - Great game as a striker, even if he didn't score. United defenders struggled to contain him from the start, allowing him to get a couple of assists.
Subs.
Ox was the best, good run and pass to set up Giroud, and then unlucky to hit bar.
Giroud missed that chance, and did not benefit from a comfortable cruise to the FT whistle.
Gibbs came on too late to have any impact.
Second in the league, third best goals for, best defensive record. The PL is looking far healthier for us than the CL.
Good time for an international break!!

Mertesacker was decent but needed to clear the ball a few more times in the first half instead of looking for a pass all the time. It almost lead to a goal with that martial chance.

Meant Gabriel lol

Not surprised no one has given Ramsey any credit for his tracking back and defensive work. He's not the best out and out attacker in that position but does a lot of work to help out Bellerin and the defence. Without him we are weaker.

Ramsey - 6 - Worked hard, put his foot in, and I particularly liked his reaction to Schweinsteiger. Should've made it 4-0, but thought he was Messi again.

Wenger had to swap Ramsey and Santi positions in the second after Fellaini and Sweinsteiger started sitting on him. Ramsey is absolutely necessary to add a bit of grit to Santi's vision.

The same goes for Ramsey. Silly dribblings that put pressure on our defense

Why are people putting Kos in their team?
Cech - 8 - Sczezsny or Ospina and that Martial chance is a goal.
Bellerin - 7 - Got forward well.
Mert - 6 - Bit shaky/dopey at times, but was solid for the majority.
Gab - 7 - No fuss, other than one moment with Martial.
Monreal - 7 - Good at the back, solid going forward.
Coquelin - 7 - Nothing outstanding, just his usual self, which is a high standard.
Santi - 7- Same as Coq.
Ramsey - 6 - Worked hard, put his foot in, and I particularly liked his reaction to Schweinsteiger. Should've made it 4-0, but thought he was Messi again.
Ozil - 8 - Classy finish, good assist. Game went perfectly for him.
Sanchez - 9 - Dynamite.
Theo - 7 - Less selfish, and showing more facets to his game. Hope there's more to come from him.

Having watched the game again, I'll change Ramsey to a 7. Played a crucial part in our first and third goals.

Do you often re-watch games, Tu Meke? I do sometimes, got laughed at for saying that on here though

If it's worth watching again, and I have time, then sure. Don't see what's wrong with it tbh
