RATINGS: Leicester 1-1 Arsenal: Sanogo Fails To Take His Chance

By on August 31, 2014

Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw at Leicester City on Sunday afternoon with the hosts equalising just two minutes after Alexis Sanchez had opened the scoring.

Our performance was sluggish and we barely got out of second gear, and a draw was probably a fair result in the end. Here are my ratings:

Szczesny 7/10 | Could do nothing for the goal but pulled off a vital save to deny Varney a winner.

Debuchy 6/10 | Not at his attacking best today and the cross for their goal came from his side.

Mertesacker 6/10 | His pace was exposed on a couple of occasions but still put in a decent display.

Koscielny 5/10 | Was at fault for the goal but shouldn’t have been allowed back on the pitch after a head injury.

Monreal 6/10 | Steady enough. Didn’t offer much going forward.

Flamini 5/10 | Was anonymous at times as Leicester ripped straight through our midfield on several occasions. We need a better defensive midfielder if we’re to challenge for the title.

Ramsey 5/10 | Very disappointing from Rambo. Stray passes, shooting was wayward, it just wasn’t his day.

Cazorla 5/10 | Was slightly better on the ball than Ramsey, but still couldn’t influence the game.

Ozil 6/10 | Drifted all across the pitch to get himself on the ball. Was always economical with it but he needs better to work off up front.

Alexis 7/10 | Worked his socks off again and was on hand to fire home the opener. Still not quite on the same wavelength as his team mates at times but that will come.

Sanogo 4/10 | Out of his depth. Missed a couple of good opportunities and was just a level below those around him. He didn’t take his chance to show Arsene he was the answer to our striking problems. A striker is badly needed.

Subs:

Chambers 5/10 | On for Koscielny and jumped into a couple of tackles again. Needs to cut that out of his game.

The Ox 6/10 | His direct running and pace made a difference. Should have been on earlier.

Lukas Podolski 4/10 | Barely touched the ball and didn’t really look too interested to be honest.

It was a poor performance overall. Hopefully the players will come back refreshed after the international break.
