In the past 10 years I’ve never once believed Arsenal would fall out of the top 4. This season I’m concerned we won’t even make top 6.
I probably could have saved myself a lot of time and effort by just giving everybody a 0 and saying ‘f**k you, Arsenal’ which, I’m not gonna lie, was a really tempting option,
But, ever the professional, here are my ratings from Arsenal’s latest humiliation on the day that a back three died at Arsenal.
Subs
David Ospina 0
Alexandre Lacazette 5
On the bench as he’s still in an ‘adaptation phase’ according to Arsene Wenger, who must be hoping Laca learns how to deal with these games through osmosis. He should have 2 goals from his first 2 Premier League games so adaption my ass.
Still, benching him because he needs to ‘adapt,’ we then turned to him to save us with half an hour to go. How the f**k does that make any sense?
Olivier Giroud 4
I think he came on, not gonna lie, my attention had drifted by the time he came on and kept going for the rest of the match. Saw him head over, didn’t notice him doing much else.
Theo Walcott NA
It’s amazing how far Walcott has fallen that nobody even notices when he doesn’t start or play any more.
Shkodran Mustafi NA
Sead Kolasinac NA
Francis Coquelin 5
Replaced Ramsey at halftime and with no Elneny in the squad was the only midfield option Wenger had as he shifted to a back four for the second period. If Coquelin is the answer, then you really are screwed.
