RATINGS: My Ratings From Arsenal’s Stunning Win Over Dortmund

By on November 6, 2013

What a win! We made the ‘mighty Germans’ look pretty average and ground out a vital 1-0 win.

Here are my ratings:

Szczesny 7/10 – To be honest he didn’t have as much to do as I expected before the game but he made a couple of decent saves and didn’t put a foot wrong.

Gibbs 7/10 – Curbed his attacking instincts and kept his position when required. Part of a solid defensive unit.

Sagna 7.5/10 – A warrior as usual.

Mertesacker 8.5/10 – Didn’t give Lewandowski a sniff. His presence is hugely important at the back.

Koscielny 9/10 – A colossus for us all night. Made several important interceptions and put his body on the line.

Arteta 6.5/10 – The Spaniard had a very poor first half and was lucky not to get sent off, but he showed a lot of professionalism to get through the second half without getting another booking.

Ramsey 8/10 – ANOTHER goal for Rambo! He just seems to be sniffing out opportunities and getting himself into positions to score. Long may it continue.

Rosicky 9/10 -Superb display. He never stopped working and put the hosts under pressure whenever they had the ball.

Cazorla 7/10 – Obviously he wasn’t at his creative best but he played his part in helping out the defence when needed and was tidy in possession.

Ozil 7/10 – Was a decent outlet and held on to the ball to ease the pressure at times. Provided the cross that led to the goal.

Giroud 7.5/10 – A hugely important figure with his physical presence vitally important. Great assist as well.

Subs:

Monreal (6), Vermaelen (NA), Bendtner (NA)

So another superb win and we head into Sunday’s clash with Man Utd in high spirits. We now sit on 9 points in Group F and could secure qualification to the knockout stages with a win over Marseille if Napoli avoid defeat against Dortmund.

What were your thoughts on the game?

    On another day the ref could have given BD a penalty for the push by our big German on the polish striker.That it was not given could be deemed fortunate.
    Imho,if this incident were to take place at OT,the ref would have no hesitation in giving a ref regardless of whether the rf is still boss.
    The game at OT will be massive and Moyes will be desperate to close the gap.
    Arsenal could ,imho, be paying 13 men based on historical animosity between MU and Arsenal.How? It’s very easy. As said the ref would have no inhibitions in awarding a spot kick if Mu were the team.
    Tackles near the periphery of the box could also see the rd given a penalty. The ref could be looking for other areas where he could MU an advantage by rd agunner. In fact there are many ingenius ways to help the rd to win.
    I still believe that for Arsenal to win the epl will be anear miracle because of so many obstacles.
