Arsenal slumped to a humiliating League Cup final defeat on Sunday, losing 3-0 to Manchester City, and there was hardly a single positive individual performance of note.

Arsenal just weren’t good enough against Pep Guardiola’s treble-hopefuls, individually or as a team.

Here are our player ratings:

Defence

David Ospina 1.5

It’s hard to say anything positive about a goalkeeper who didn’t make any saves and completed fewer than half of his passes. Despite Manchester City’s dominance of the match, Ospina only had three stops to make, and all three chances ended in goals.

All game he threw the ball out into dangerous areas and looked nervy. That put more pressure on everybody else and played into City’s hands as they pressed to win the ball back quickly.

Calum Chambers 2.5

Chambers seemed to be having a alright game for a while, in comparison to some other Arsenal players, at least. Then David Silva turned him to score just as easily as Ken Sema did for Östersund earlier in the week. You can’t give away goals like that on a regular basis.

In the end, Arsene Wenger sacrificed him for Danny Welbeck, who carried about as much goal threat as the defender, to try and rescue the game.

Shkodran Mustafi 2

Mustafi was at fault as City opened the scoring in the first half, which essentially killed off any hopes Arsenal may have had on the day.

Beating the Premier League leaders is hard enough, but coming from behind to do so is a massive ask. The 25-year-old’s passing was the weakest in the back three, and he made just one tackle all match.

Laurent Koscielny 3

Arsenal’s best centre-back on the day, but that’s really not saying much. Koscielny wasn’t particularly at fault for any of the goals, so that makes him unique in the back-three.

Still, as the most experienced defender he should’ve done more to help his teammates and organise the defence.

Hector Bellerin 3

Bellerin didn’t always look confident up against Leroy Sane, and lost the tricky winger on a couple of occasions. Like the rest of the defenders, he could’ve done more to help prevent City creating chances.

On the other hand, on a day when Arsenal struggled to keep the ball the Spaniard had the highest pass accuracy on the team (bar Iwobi, who only made three passes).

Nacho Monreal 2

Monreal was far from his usual self at Wembley, but that was largely thanks to an injury that forced him off after just 26 minutes.

He was holding his back for much of the match, so it’d be harsh to focus on his disappointing contributions under the circumstances.

Next midfield

Midfield

Granit Xhaka 2.5

We’re used to Xhaka’s trademark wayward passes by now, and he was still pulling those off just as regularly as usual. What was particularly disappointing on the day was his set piece delivery.

The midfielder has a few assists this season from corners and free kicks (including one at Wembley in August). However, this time around he missed the entire group of Arsenal players on multiple occasions.

If he continues like that, I can’t see any reason why Özil shouldn’t take over entirely from now on.

Aaron Ramsey 3

Though there were a couple of nice moments, Ramsey generally looked like he wasn’t ready for a game of this intensity. Just returning from injury, the Welshman never looked at his best, and completed a lower percentage of his passes than any other outfield player from either team.

He didn’t create any chances and had just one shot in a subdued performance, before his 73rd minute substitution.

Next forwards

Forwards

Mesut Özil 2.5

This was the kind of performance the English media tell us Özil puts in every week. He didn’t create any chances apart from the early square for Aubameyang which Kyle Walker cut out. He didn’t have any shots, and his passing was no more than average.

A rare off day for the German right when Arsenal needed him.

Jack Wilshere 3

Wilshere did some nice things early on, and won a lot of free-kicks. He seemed to lose his handle on the game as City got further into the lead, and ended up in fights with their players and receiving a yellow card for sarcastically clapping the referee.

He was better on the ball than against Östersund, but arguably just as disappointing off it.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 3

It’s extremely difficult to judge Aubameyang in this team, because just like Lacazette before him, he can’t get involved.

He had one shot all game, and cut an isolated figure up front.

Next subs

Substitutes

Sead Kolasinac 3

Generally, Kolasinac came in and did his job fairly effectively, but he didn’t offer enough up front. The one time he did get in behind the City defence, his first touch was far too heavy and the chance disappeared.

The back-five should’ve suited his strengths, so it was a shame to see so little from him.

Danny Welbeck 2.5

Fresh off the back of a couple of pretty dire performances against Östersund, Welbeck came on in this one with the game already dead at 3-0.

He managed six passes in 25 minutes and won 33% of his duels, and couldn’t offer anything to turn things around.

Alex Iwobi 2.5

As mentioned earlier, Iwobi completed all of his three passes, but he also lost all his duels and failed with all his dribble attempts.

In his defence, it would’ve taken a miraculous performance to turn things around at a stage in the game when no one else was even trying.
