Arsenal 3 – 0 Newcastle Player Ratings

By Laumyx 
Szczesny – 7.5He didn’t have much to do at all other than saving a one on one when we were 2 -0 up. It was an important save. If Gouffran scores there, it would’ve been a nervy final 20 minutes.
Sagna – 8
Another top performance by one of our best ever right backs. He was strong defensively and was effective in attack with his passing and crossing.
Mertesacker – 7
His passing was very good but defensively was questionable and allowed Sissoko to bypass him completely.
Koscielny – 8
He was superb today defensively and scored the opening goal.
Monreal – 7
Defensively dodgy but was offensively making great runs.
Arteta – 8
His performance will go under the radar but he constantly won the ball back off the Newcastle midfielders and he made some impressive forward passes today (one leading to Özil’s goal).
Ramsey – 8.5
He was poor for the first 30 minutes but proceeded to be sublime for the rest of the game. His passing, movement and intelligence can only be matched by Özil. He really has to be considered as one of the best central midfielders in Europe.
Cazorla – 8
Like Ramsey, he started poorly but grew into the game and combined well with the Welshman and our star German Özil.
Özil – 9 (MOTM)
He was phenomenal today. He makes it all look so easy. He has pace, dynamism, intelligence and ultimately end product. He’s going to tear the league up next season providing we can keep Walcott fit.
Podolski – 6.5
Didn’t do much all game. Missed a couple of headers from good corners.
Giroud – 7
Odd game from him. Movement was very good and he even managed to score but generally his touch, passing and shooting was woeful.
Subs:
Flamini – 6
Just came on and ran about a bit!
Rosicky – 6
Same as Flamini
Sanogo – 5
Didn’t have much to do as the game was already won. We passed it about slowly and he rarely got a touch of the ball.
