Arsenal managed to grab all three points against West Brom on Boxing Day but it was far from an inspiring performance. How did the players do individually?

Arsenal bored fans to death against West Brom at the Emirates on Boxing Day but managed to find a winner to avoid slipping even further behind Chelsea in the title race.

Well, this has been a fun week for Arsenal fans everywhere!

Despite only losing by 2-1, Arsenal’s performance against Manchester City was one of their worst of the season.

Arsenal u18s have been knocked out of this year’s FA Youth Cup after a surprise 1-0 defeat in the third-round of the prestigious competition.

There were two disputed decisions by referee Mark Clattenburg late in the game against Everton and with the recent experiment introducing Video Assistant Referees, we can wonder what would have happened there and what could happen in the near future.

Stephy Mavididi netted a brace but Arsenal u23s were unable to take any points against a strong Liverpool side, which included the likes of defensive duo Mamadou Sakho and Joe Gomez, as well as Sheyi Ojo and highly rated forward, Harry Wilson.

I forgot how to write miserable player ratings.

Apart from a strong opening 15 minutes, Arsenal looked tired and confused for most of the game at Goodison Park.

Arsenal never really got out of 2nd gear against Stoke because they didn’t have to.

Another game, another comfortable win: this is fun, isn’t it?

Despite a spirited effort across this year’s competition, Arsenal’s u19 side have crashed out of the UEFA Youth League at the group stage phase after a 1-1 away draw against Basel.

What a great night in Basel (and in Paris as well)! So how did the players rate?

Arsenal topped their Champions League group with a comprehensive win over Basel while Ludogorets grabbed a surprise draw in Paris.

Edward Nketiah continued his red-hot goalscoring form with his 10th goal at u18 level this season while Joe Willock equalised from the penalty spot shortly afterwards.

December is off to a good start with a huge 5-1 win away to struggling West Ham.

Arsenal went into the London derby against West Ham hoping for three points in order to keep the pressure on league leaders, Chelsea, who’d just beaten Manchester City 3-1.

A poor and disappointing performance from the Arsenal B team that lost at home to Southampton on Wednesday night.
