Arsenal lack flair in final third Player Ratings

It's possible that some Arsenal fans manged to buy some flares off some disgruntled Galatasary fans; if they did they provided the Gunners no more luck than the hapless Turks had on Wednesday. The match today proved that it's a lot harder to score against a good Premiership defence than a poor CL one. Arsenal had more possession than in last year's fixure and were not so badly disgraced. However, they did not manage one shot on target Enough said, time to lick wounds,  and move on after International Break. Ratings below:

Szczesny 6 - little to do, not to blame for either goal

Chambers 5 - steady game, found it tough v hazard, not good on the penalty, did not get forward much
Mertesacker 6 - outpaced for second goal, no where to be seen for penalty
Koscielny 5 - gave away penalty and outpaced for second goal
Gibbs 6.5 - steady game, willing attacker

Flamini 5 - little impact
Wilshere 6.5 - worked his socks off, passing and touch was off though
Cazorla 5 - some nice bits, but too little impact, awful attempt at tackle in lead up to penalty
Ozil 5.5 - some nice bits, but too little impact
Alexis 5 - worked hard, but lost the ball far too often and overall had little impact

Welbeck 5 - little impact, should have seen red near the end for two footed lung at Cesc

Subs
Oxlade-chamberlain 4 - no impact
Rosicky n/a - not on long
Podolski n/a - not on long
