Player focus

Despite being poor positionally against Manchester City, Shkodran Mustafi still managed to come away with a goal and assist.

Does anyone else find Alexis Sanchez incredibly frustrating at times these days?

Arsenal's 2-2 draw against Manchester City highlighted Theo Walcott's strengths and weaknesses.

When Shkodran Mustafi signed for Arsenal from Valencia during the summer, most Gooners were over the moon with the new defender but now it appears he's perhaps not the player we thought he was.

Although no Arsenal player was exactly fantastic against West Brom, Granit Xhaka wasn't as horrendous as some.

Theo Walcott was anonymous against West Brom and Twitter didn't hold back in its criticism of the inconsistent forward.

David Ospina must be the gift that keeps on giving if you support any team other but Arsenal.

Alexis Sanchez was probably Arsenal's best player against West Brom.

Although Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is far from a perfect player, his desire to succeed means that Arsenal fans on Twitter are fighting his corner.

Hector Bellerin hasn't been up to his usual standard for months now but his performance against West Brom was perhaps one of his worst.

Granit Xhaka picked up his eighth yellow card of the season against Lincoln.

Although it was far from a spectacular performance from Theo Walcott against Lincoln City, the forward was one of Arsenal's best players.

Mesut Ozil was subbed on for the injured Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain early in the first half and didn't disappoint.

Aaron Ramsey managed to score his second goal of the season against Lincoln

Despite a slow start, Alexis Sanchez finished Arsenal's 5-0 FA Cup win over Lincoln as the best player on the pitch - nothing new there.

When Francis Coquelin was brought on in the 72nd minute against Bayern Munich for Aaron Ramsey, Arsenal fans everywhere internally groaned.

Theo Walcott was Arsenal's second highest rated player on Who Scored, behind Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, but why doesn't he play like that all the time?

Despite generally being Arsenal's best player, Alexis Sanchez's performance against Bayern Munich is one many, the Chilean included, would like to forget.

Theo Walcott joined the prestige club of players that have scored 100 goals for Arsenal.

While there's no doubt that Alex Iwobi has a tonne of potential, Arsenal's 3-1 loss away to Liverpool highlighted once again that the 20-year-old still has a lot to prove when it comes to big games.

When Francis Coquelin is the only Arsenal player to have a shot on target the entire first half against Liverpool, you know you've got problems.

Despite Arsenal performing pretty terribly against Liverpool, at least Danny Welbeck started and scored.

After Arsenal found themselves 2-0 down at halftime against Liverpool, it was up to Alexis Sanchez to save the day... again.

Olivier Giroud gave a rather forgettable performance against Liverpool.

Following confirmation from Lucas's agent that he doesn't want to leave Arsenal, but is unhappy with his lack of game time, the Spaniard got the nod for the Gunner's FA Cup clash against Sutton United.

Jeff Reine-Adelaide got his third FA Cup start of the season against Sutton United in the FA Cup and it wasn't his best performance.

Arsenal's 5-1 loss away to Bayern Munich probably wasn't David Ospina's finest 90 minutes yet he didn't actually have too bad a game compared to the rest of the team.

It was no coincidence that as soon as Laurent Koscielny was subbed off at the start of the second half against Bayern Munich, everything fell to pieces.

A 2-0 home victory was the ideal way to bounce back from last week's frustrations, and Arsenal's defensive solidity seems to have returned - somewhat.

Alex Iwobi wasn't at his free-flowing best throughout in a frustrating afternoon for the 20-year-old.

Despite being Arsenal's highest rated player on WhoScored.com (9.0) after scoring a brace against Hull City, Alexis Sanchez still wasn't in top gear at the Emirates on Saturday.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain once again had a terrific match in the centre against Hull City on Saturday.

The only thing that I really remember Theo Walcott doing against Hull on Saturday was starting a fight with Harry Maguire.

Mesut Ozil's performance against Hull at the Emirates one once again disappointing.

Despite not exactly shining against Hull, Francis Coquelin was actually reasonably solid.

Francis Coquelin demonstrated once again on Saturday that he's just not good enough for Arsenal.

It's getting rather painful having to watch Gabriel fill in at right-back for Hector Bellerin.

Despite the odd slip-up, Shkodran Mustafi has been a decent acquisition this season but against Watford he had a shocker.

Gabriel was once again started at right-back while Hector Bellerin was rested on the bench on Tuesday against Watford and proved once and for all that he is not a full-back.

Lucas Perez made another appearance in an Arsenal shirt against Southampton on Saturday and was once again hugely influential.
