Cech MotM Player ratings v Bournemouth


Ozil super goal

By Matty Sadler

The Gunners started off slowly but scored two really good goals in quick succession to go in at half-time 2-0 up. The second half was probably one of the worst 45 minutes of football I have watch this season. We were clearly happy with our lot and didn't want to get caught out chasing more goals, which is fair enough as it worked in the end. I do think with better substitutions we could've won 4-0.  

At the end of the day, all that matters is we got 3 points and scored a few goals. Leicester next week is massive. We need to win if we want to win this league.

Ratings:

Cech - 8. Very good yet again, bar one wild throw out to Oxlade-Chamberlain. Couple of really good moments in both halves. What a signing he has been.

Bellerin - 7. Very good defensively and offensively, I thought.
Gabriel - 6. Didn't look comfortable at all in the first half. Better second half with two good defensive actions against Afobe and Grabban. He is only going to get better by playing games, and I'm delighted he got another clean sheet under his belt.
Koscielny - 7. Played well again.
Monreal - 7. Asleep in the first half but played much better in the second half.

Flamini - 6. Stupid booking early on put us all on edge, but did okay overall.
Ramsey - 7. Got a good pre-assist and assist for our first two goals. Did okay overall.

Oxlade-Chamberlain - 6. Scored a very good, much needed goal, but otherwise I didn't think he played all that well. Still needs to be more careful when in possession.
Ozil - 7. Scored a great goal with his weaker foot, and popped up all over the place trying to create and keep things ticking over.
Alexis - 5. Cannot fault the guy's work rate, but not a good day at the office today. Nothing he tried seemed to come off.

Giroud - 5. Great header down for Ozil's goal in the first half, otherwise did very little again. It is a shame we currently don't have a viable alternative to him on the bench as it means we are unable to freshen things up.

Subs:

Coquelin - 5. Was supposed to tighten things up in midfield but it didn't really work. Good another 20 odd minutes under his belt.
Gibbs - N/A. Not on long.
Walcott - N/A. Not on long
