Starting XI:
Ospina – 5
Gave everyone around him the jitters. Went walkies far too often. A liability.
Debuchy – 3
Very poor. Positionally all over the place and painfully inferior to Bellerin.
Gabriel – 8
Apart from a late brain fart, a rare positive for Arsenal. Strong and rugged – a proper defender.
Koscielny – 7
Was solid enough, but wasn’t helped by some of his teammates.
Gibbs – 5
Culpable for the second goal and generally poor. What’s happened to him?
Cazorla – 6
Ineffectual, but it’s not his fault he was picked in a midfield two with Arteta.
Arteta – 3
Painful. A fine player at his best but an absolute passenger on the night.
Oxlade-Chamberlain – 4
Along with Gibbs, part of the ‘axis of shiteness’ on the left. Tactically so naive.
Ozil – 6
Did his best to prod and probe, and showed more desire than others.
Sanchez – 6
Marooned. Starved. Wasn’t quite on his game but didn’t see the ball.
Giroud – 2
Was poor prior to the sending off and should have buried his chance.
Subs:
Campbell – 6
Rusty, wasteful and gave away needless fouls. But at least he put in a shift.
Coquelin – 7
How Arsenal missed him. They looked far more cohesive when he came on.
Walcott – 8
Lovely finish and a constant worry for Dinamo. Why the f*ck didn’t he start?
