We would be champions if they were that good, plagiarist.

You're overrating many of them.

Cech 7/10
Monreal 7/10
Koscielny 6/10 - still overrated by many, very error prone
Mertesacker 6/10 - not as bad as some claim
Bellerin 6.5/10
Gabriel 4.5/10 - woeful
Chambers 6/10
Gibbs 6/10
Coquelin 7/10
Elneny 7/10
Flamini 4/10 - lol
Ramsey 5.5/10
Ox 4.5/10 - needs a loan next season
Walcott 5.5/10 - dire 2nd half of the season, time's up for him.
Ozil 8/10 - Not as good as some claim
Sanchez 6.5/10 - Been pretty average this season
Campbell 6.5/10
Giroud 5.5/10
Welbeck 6.5/10

Other mentions:
Arteta 0/10

Ospina: 7/10 overall for games he's played

posted on 18/4/16

I think these are pretty good ratings.

For all the criticism Sanchez gets, he still has a direct contribution to 23 goals in 32 games - and it's not like his play is just limited to goals and assists.
People talk about him being poor, but it's only compared to the incredibly high standards he set last season.

Still been one of our best players this season, even if he hasn't done as well as last season.

Generous. Only ozil and welbeck have been better than last season.

Welbeck hasn't been better, in truth. He just returned in a blaze of glory, and at a time when the team were crap.

Cech hasn't been that great this season. Yes he is commanding and all that but his profile allows him to escape much criticism.

If Ospina made that error yesterday there would have been a whole article in the press about Cech not playing and the fans on here would have slaughtered Ospina

I had to check the table again having seen these ratings. Remarkably generous. We are into double figures in terms of games lost this season in all competitions.

Have been awful almost all season and he gets a 6 lol.

Cech 7/10 -Massive presence inside the box. I was a bit worried about how he'd cope with about 10 backpasses a game, but he's settled in quite well. No complaints.

Monreal 6.5/10 - Still a touch timid on the one-on-ones, but otherwise reliable.

Koscielny 6.5/10 - He's made massive progress in learning to hold the offside trap without Per holding his hand. Pretty solid, barring a few errors here and there.

Mertesacker 7/10 - Saved us a ton of points marshalling the offside trap. Seems to have finally lost his spot to Gab, but could still be a squad player for another year or two.
Key player when it comes to holding possession at the back. We've been constantly rushed off the ball without him.

Bellerin 6/10 - Defended like you'd expect a promising 20-year old to. Needs to work more on his defensive instincts without Per to mop up after him.

Gabriel 5/10 - Showed some promise, despite being a bit overwhelmed after moving to a tougher league. Decent in the air, but needs to work on his marking.

Chambers 4/10 - Not enough appearances to warrant a fair rating. His versatility across the pitch is a massive plus though.

Gibbs 5.5/10 - Wenger's default 70th-minute sub when we 've had to see out a narrow lead. Reliable whenever he's been on the pitch.

Coquelin 7.5/10 - Improved his passing and created a growing understanding with Elneny. Needs to ignore team orders and trust himself more when tackling outside the box.

Elneny 6.5/10 - Like a duck to water. Next season should be massive for him.

Flamini 5.5/10 - Held the mid together after a massive loss of personnel. Never let his shoulders drop after a few howlers. An extra point for the brace against Tottenham.

Ramsey 6/10 - Struggled to set a rhythm after being played all over the pitch. A few key goals, despite his below-average tally.

Ox 4.5/10 - Disappointing season. Should be fired up for next season after seeing younger players blaze past him for club and country.

Walcott 5/10 - Kept us buzzing when the goals dried up earlier on. A bit disappointing after he came back from his injury.

Ozil 7.5/10 - Terrific midfield outlet both on and off the ball. One of our two key set-piece takers after a rather barren period.
Needs to know his limits as the opposition players have realised he dwells a bit too long on the ball.

Sanchez 7.5/10 - Decent goal tally and all-round assist rate. Seems to be making up for the barren spell in recent games. Admirable work-rate across the pitch.

Campbell 7.5/10 - Sanchez without the goals.

Giroud 7.5/10 - Poor PL goal tally, but decent across all competitions. Pretty much lived to most people's expectations.
OK, GT's and mine.

Welbeck 6/10 - Massive shot in the arm for the club after his return from injury. Dangerous, dynamic and pacy.

Iwobi 6.5/10 - Settled in very well after being eased into the top flight. Seems to have carried forward his ability to play anywhere behind the striker.
Would love to watch him across an entire season.

Ospina 6.5 - Otherwise reliable pair of hands, but still has a howler in him. Can be a bit of a wallflower when it comes to marshalling a defence.

Defensive coaches - 4/10- The offside trap has allowed a slow set of centre-backs to look decent.
The zonal defence needs to be scrapped though.

Here comes my rating:
Cech 7/10 - he still have some moments
Ospina 6/10 - I always get nervous when he plays
Monreal 6/10 - not strong enough, does not prevent crosses
Koscielny 7/10 - lacks consistency, but still the best we have
Mertesacker 4.5/10 - slow, not strong in the air, poor in clearances, but consistent
Bellerin 6.5/10 - needs to learn defending and preventing crosses
Gabriel 5.5/10 - inconsistent with some bad moments
Chambers 6/10 - he needs more match time to show what he can do
Gibbs 5/10 - second choice and rightly so
Coquelin 6/10 - not the top player we need but with many decent performances
Elneny 6/10 - too early to judge him, I would like to see him without having a winter break
Flamini 5/10 - at the end of his career
Ramsey 6/10 - better on the wing than central, someone needs to teach him the simple things
Ox 5.5/10 - probably the least dangerous attacking midfielder in Europe
Walcott 5.5/10 - started the season well but declined
Ozil 8/10 - Had his best season, but still inconsistent
Sanchez 7/10 - Without pre-season, was poorly managed, subsequently injured and now slowly returning to good form
Campbell 6/10 - good work rate. Whenever he played he had decent games
Giroud 5/10 - A few good games, but similar story as Theo
Welbeck 6/10 - good work rate and scored a few goals, enough to establish himself as the central striker after long injury, that says it all.

What error? The three defenders blocking his view should have handled the situation, had they not been following team orders by marking empty space.
