[Player Ratings] Palace 3-0 Arsenal: Ozil/Mustafi worst of the lot

By on April 10, 2017

Another gutless performance from Arsenal resulted in a humiliating 3-0 defeat at Crystal Palace this evening with goals from Townsend, Cabaye and Milivojevic seeing us crash to yet another away defeat.

Here are my ratings:

Martínez  5.5/10 | Smart save to deny Benteke before half time. Confident claiming crosses but needlessly gave away a dodgy penalty.

Bellerín  4/10 | Nightmare defensively as he couldn’t cope with Zaha or Townsend all game.

Mustafi  3/10 | Absolute nightmare for the German. Bullied by Benteke all night and lucky not to be sent off for two poor tackles in the first half.

Gabriel  4/10 | Perhaps fouled in the build-up to the opener. Went close with a decent header just before the break. At least he looked like he wanted to defend at times.

Monreal  4/10 | Given the run-around by Zaha and Townsend all night. Another poor display.

Elneny  4/10 | Way too many sideways passes. I don’t think he’s the answer to our midfield problems by any stretch.

Xhaka  4/10 | Controlled the game for long periods but we did little with it. A few decent long passes.

Walcott  4/10 | Not involved enough. A couple of link-ups with Bellerin and that was about it.

Özil  3/10 | Awful performance all round. Looked completed uninterested as soon as we went behind and gave away possession more times than I care to remember.

Sánchez  4/10 | A few glimpses of his talent but nothing special. Cut a frustrated figure for the most part.

Welbeck  4/10 | One half chance was the best he came up with. A little isolated at times but still looks rusty.

Subs:

Giroud (5), Ramsey (5), Oxlade-Chamberlain (5)

This was as bad a performance as we’ve seen from this team and if it wasn’t obvious enough by now, Wenger has lost the players and it’s CLEARLY time to go. Not holding my breath though….
