Hi all (mods please simply delete if overkill)
Many on here like to post a thorough review of the matches. I personally love this but often they are 'TL;DR' in nature. In the past this was quite common in match threads but due to the frustrating nature of our results, those threads become endless pages of emotions and knee-jerk.
I'd like this thread to be a place where simple reviews can be made which follow a template/structure. In my opinion it should be a STRICTLY NO REPLY thread.
Match Review structure.
Let's keep it fairly simple yet broad enough to appeal to all. Arsenal only. Who cares about the opposition we focus on us.
PLAYER RATINGS
Usual 1-10 format with MAX twenty word comment
MANAGER RATING
1-10 format. Comment if necessary. I'd base this on tactics, personnel selection and subs.
REF RATING
Optional and possibly controversial. A simple 1-10 here and a cuss word will suffice (If you score a ref higher than 5 and fail to call him an utter cvnt we'll assume you're trolling\lying\opposition fan)
Let me start
STARTERS
Cech - 6 Thought he was okay but looked nervy when they closed us.
Bellerin - 6 Looks better attacking than defending.
Mustafi - 5 Looks lost at times. Doesn't inspire confidence
Sokratis - 5 Am I being silly still being concerned about his pace?
Monreal - 7 Underrated player. Gives some security but not 100% match fit.
Guendouzi - 9 He'd get a 10 if I wasn't forced to be 100% honest.. What a signing. Looks confident.
Xhaka - 4 I feel like a broken record when I say he is a card liability. Card collector.
Mikhi - 5 Where's the confidence. Flashes of 'wow'-s followed by a lot of ' where is he'-s
Özil - 4 Where are you Mesut...
Iwobi - 9 Thought he was our second best player today. Turned my head.
Auba - 5 Please shake this 'disappears in big games' tag.
SUBS
Ramsey - 7 Thought he was better but still leaves us very unbalanced
Laca - 4 Ineffective. I rate him and was thus very disappointed.
Torreira - 7 Good cameo I felt. Needs to bulk up but got stuck in. Bit naive at times.. pace of the league has him in shock.
MANAGER RATING
Unai - 5 Two harsh lessons in a tough league. He may feel hard done by because twice we brought the game back. Hoping he's drawn worthwhile lessons from today. I believe he will
REF RATING
Atkinson - 1 What an utter cvnt.
