Really think Cech makes such a huge difference.

Everything sticks to him, West Ham debut aside just never seems to look even slightly fazed, no Ospina/Szcz/Fabianski/Almunia moments, just calm, collected and catches everything.

Still amazes me people thought he was a pointless signing.

agreed Cheslea where mad to sell him

Is Dubbed disabled? He's such a clown.

Chelsea fans are again tonight

Harsh on Ox.

It seems unless he scores or gets an assist people just assume he had a bad game. A very solid 7 for me


---------------------------------------------------------------------
7 are u mad? 5 at the very best due to having an OK 2nd half.

Ox had more key passes than Sanchez; more successful dribbles (twice as many, in fact, and the highest number of any player); a higher pass percentage rate than Sanchez; and was dispossessed half the amount of times Sanchez was. Not to mention the fact that virtually all of their attacks from wing-play came down their right (our left hand side), and yet Chamberlain's getting rated 2 to 3 marks out of 10 lower than Sanchez.

I'm not criticising Sanchez at all, but I'm just wondering where this discrepancy comes from. As I say, literally nothing came down their left-hand-side, so I don't think Chamberlain can really be criticised from a defensive standpoint either.

So really, what did he do to merit such low scores in comparison? Lose the ball 100 yards away from our goal? Monreal had a square pass across the front of our box intercepted which led to the gilt-edged Galloway chance, yet no-one seems to have harangued Monreal for this.

Ozil was fantastic today <okay>

Arteta is injured so we can't really afford to make too many changes at the moment

Our squad is already looking thin, need CDM and potentially striker if any available or recall Gnarby.

Ozil was superb Tremendous job from our defence once again.

With Cech behind them they seem to look for confident! and why not...that save towards the end saved us 2 points and has rescued points 3-4 matches now.

He might be worth more than extra 10-15 points the way things are going.

Also, Koss the boss was immense, Monreal and Bels and that tackle and celebration from Gabby just shows what it means to him...We want defenders like him who enjoys the rougher aspect of footy like Coq.

Overall, a solid performance..Only worry is with fixture pilling up or squad all ready looks thin...Wenger needs to address this in Jan..a CDM would fit in nicely.

So Castor..... What did you make of Ozil?

Ox was okay. He's barely started, so overall he did alright. Sanchez was average at best today. Coq I thought by his standards wasn't as good. But to much gaps in front of defence than normal. But he was stil alright.

Cech, ozil and Giroud were the stand out players. Kos and gab did well also
