Ratings: Sanchez & Ozil shine as sloppy Arsenal held by Southampton

By on February 2, 2016

Arsenal have royally blown their title chances after being held to a hugely frustrating 0-0 draw with Southampton at the Emirates on Tuesday night.

Here are my ratings:

Cech  7/10 – Always alert to collect a number of crosses and start counter-attacks with some fine distribution.

Bellerin  6/10 – Delivery very poor all game and his passing wasn’t up to scratch either.

Gabriel  6.5/10 – His pace was useful against the dangerous Saints attack. Booked for a silly foul near the end.

Koscielny  6/10 – Missed an absolute sitter from 3 yards to win it. No idea how he managed to put the header over.

Monreal  7/10 – Solid as ever and linked up well down the left flank.

Flamini  5/10 – Awful. Stray passes, wandering out of position, shouting for no reason. No idea why he started ahead of Coquelin.

Ramsey  5/10 – A frustrating night again. His partnership with Flamini is a shambles. Get Coquelin back alongside him asap.

Ozil  7.5/10 – Missed an early chance after showing great control to collect a Sanchez long ball and was denied again from close range shortly after. Showed some excellent touches and was always a danger.

Campbell  5/10 – Very quiet. Worked hard to help out in defence but did nothing in the final third.

Alexis  7.5/10 – Saw a shot cleared off the line and another that was well saved by Forster. Along with Ozil, our most effective player but still couldn’t find the breakthrough.

Giroud  6/10 – Missed a number of half-chances as Forster got the better of him. Frustrating night for the big man.

Subs:

Walcott  5/10 – Denied twice in quick succession after coming on.

Coquelin 5/10 – Booked during his 5 minute cameo.
