Bergvall, Spence, Gray - yes.

Kinsky - eh, good on corners in the first half but poor to concede that 2nd goal.

Literally everybody else - no.

Gray, Spence and Bergvall the only 3 players to come out of this game with any credibility but Gray is going to be a great player for us and England.

The three most highly rated players arguably wouldn't get into a full strength team. Honestly, what does that say for the rest of them FFS.

Ange cannot set a team up.

Kinsky was nervous. 5

Dragusin was bullied. 4

Porro is just awful. Man let's get rid of him. 4

Gray is our best player and he is 18. Calm and composed. 7

Spence runs him close. Plays better at left back than Porro does at right back. 6.5

Sarr was scared and hid from the ball. 3

Bissouma was tasked with covering the whole of the middle and was not great but didn't need to be hooked at half time. 5

Bergvall grew into the game. Not afraid to take the ball. 6

Kulu was awful. Just awful. Does nothing on the wing and does not have the awareness to play through the middle. The times he coughs up possession and just jogs back pisses me off. 2

Son has lost the ability to accelerate from a player. If we don't play him behind then he is useless. Cannot keep the ball. 2

Solanke had a mare tonight but had nothing to play off. 2

Maddison tried but no defensive awareness either. Should have taken responsibility. 4

Johnson I remember made a successful pass. 1.5

Richarlison added nothing bar an excellent pass through. 3

Just really poor overall. The issue is not a 6, it is what he asks of them. They are expected to do fucking everything whilst the 8s just go forward. There would be no change even if we had fucking Rodri in there. There is no balance, it is effectively a 2-1-6-1 in and out of possession. The gaps in the middle in the second half that weren't exploited as there was no natural defensive minded midfielder on the pitch was ridiculous.

No creativity, timid play and bullied physically by a fairly lacklustre Arsenal team. Fucking disappointed with the attitude. It comes from the manager, but it's "who we are mate".

Agree with all the above - Bergvall, Spence and Gray. Deflected goal aside, Son was atrocious. He is supposed to be the leader of this team.

I wonder if the data models consider any personality/leadership traits... as we don't have any...

We desperately need one of our centre backs fit, so Gray can displace Bissouma in midfield.

No one should be blaming Kinksy for that goal. Yes he should have saved it but on the other hand it took a weird bounce off the pitch.

In other news.

Porro
Kulu
Son
Bissouma

Shit.

Spence. Give the guy a go on the right. Ffs.

Bergvhal
Gray

outstanding.

rest. Meh.

even give Dragusin a pass as he is only 22 and asked to play the main CB role in a team. No experience next to him.

we need our team back. We need our players back. And then we can start to judge. But that hurt. And some
Of that is on Ange. Stubborn as fuck with some players.

Bergvall, Spence and Gray were excellent in that order. Porro isn’t very good, Son needs a rest from the team.
Very young but I’d like to see Sarr, Gray and Bergvall in midfield.
a lot of work to do but too many players out to be too critical.

Once again the kids and Spence rising above the utter mediocrity.

Quite frankly I’d be happy to see large swathes of this squad gone

Gray will struggle just as much as Bissouma or Bentancur or Rodri or Busquets in this team.

We looked physically and mentally weak. Just buy loads more good 18-20 yo.
why Mikey didn’t get any NLD minutes, while we watch Sonny struggle to go forwards😳
Beriwal for me

Call me nuts but I actually think Son did ok with tracking back and forcing a goal. He tired and that is expected of a wide forward at 32.
