PLAYERS RATINGS: Arsenal 1-1 Brighton

A disappointing match for Arsenal where Arsenal scored a goal by themselves, and conceded also, by themselves, due to the bad and poor defensive tactics and formation where the defense was playing near the attack, and Sokratis was playing in the position of an attacking midfielder.

Arsenal have lost two more points today against Brighton in a crucial match in the Boxing Day, and the next match Arsenal will be suffering to get a point from against Liverpool FC.

We will rate our players after every match, here is Arsenal Insider players ratings:

Brend Leno: Was able to do better in the goal. 6.5/10

Stephan Lichtsteiner: A poor match, was at fault for the goal as well. 5.5/10

Laurent Koscielny: As well, in the goal Arsenal conceded he was able to do better. 5.5/10

Sokratis: Was playing as an attacking midfielder when Arsenal conceded a goal from a counter attack. 5/10

Sead Kolasinac: Average. 6/10

Granit Xhaka: Shouldn’t take the corners duty again. An average match. 6.5/10

Matteo Guendouzi: Was at fault in conceding the goal as well, but at least he tried. 6/10

Mesut Ozil: Disappeared, again. But he gets credit for the pass in Auba’s goal. 4/10

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang: Scored a goal and was close to scoring the second on the 30th minute. Nothing more. 7.5/10

Subs

Alex Iwobi: Didn’t do much. 5/10

Ainsley Maitland-Niles: Came to replace Koscienly. 5/10

Aaron Ramsey: Wasn’t dangerous enough. 5/10

Man of the match: None of Arsenal players deserve it.
