Per was our best defender

spot on

Best defensive record, that's surprising. I figure the arrival of Cech has a lot do with that.
Third most goals scored not bad either considering first few games we couldn't score.

This season we do look more competent than we were couple seasons ago. Think it maybe to do with having a mobile striker

I agree with you DJ but Mertesacker deserves a 7

Best defensive record, that's surprising. I figure the arrival of Cech has a lot do with that.

Tbf it is shared with about 5 teams...


Mertesacker got a 6 for the ease Martial turned him, plus Martial beat him a couple of times in the second half.

Gabriel is fantastic. by the end of this season I expect him to be rated one of the leagues best defenders

He made so many interceptions tackles and clearing headers in the 2nd half. he was an absolute rock

Gabriel and Per complimented each other very well today. Such a great result, Ozil and Sanchez were superb.

Except the massive chance he had at the end of the first half... when he did Per!!!

Mert made an incredible number of interceptions.

I thought Monreal was better than 7 too. He's been amazing this year. Might be the best fullback in the PL at the moment

I thought Bellerin was superb. Got forward as always, but was in the right place and won a few in our box too, including one occasion when he got up among 3 United players to win a header at the back post.

Merte and Gabriel play well together.

Merte and Kos play well together.

Merte and... well, Merte covers well for Chambers whenever together.

Is Mertesacker Arsenal's most under appreciated first team regular during the Wenger era?

Maybe only Gilberto comes close.

Ramsey should be a 4. Frustrating player.

Ramsey was good bar the miss. 6 is spot on for him

Ramsey looks a bit short of confidence and decisiveness. We've seen it with him before. He has the character and the work ethic to get through it.

Ramsey seems to have simplified his game like he did the season before he went on that goalscoring run. I think this will help him in the long run

Ever since his stint at CB, after a short battle with Gibbs, hes been focking superb. Love the guy

gabs is a beast

He lost possession in dangerous positions three to four times putting us in trouble.

Cech - 8
Bellerin - 7
Per - 7
Kos - 7
Nacho - 7
Coq - 7
Santi - 8
Alexis - 9
Ozil - 8
Ramsey - 7
Theo - 8

Ox - 7
Giroud - 5
Gibbs - N/A

Per Mertesacker - 8 Despite few sloppy moments he was at heart of defence stoping, intercepting, tackling and what not..Great to watch..He was as important as Cech in keeping Clean sheet.

Cech - 8
Bellerin - 7
Per - 7
Kos - 7
Nacho - 7
Coq - 7.5
Santi - 9
Alexis - 9
Ozil - 8
Ramsey -6
Theo - 9

Ox - 5
Giroud - 5
Gibbs - N/A

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.

Why are people putting Kos in their team?
