I love how everyone is copying the names when I rate players after the game and because they copy my list everyone is forgetting Elneny.
And Chambers!
Fixed....

Few observations from the game.
- AMN should be starting over Xhaka. So much better positionally, has a great set of feet and is so cool under pressure, plays without fear.
- Welbeck is dogshit. Needs selling in the summer. Would much rather see Nelson start in front of him.
- Ospina should be starting over Cech.
He does need the games definitely and perhaps a more dynamic partner than Elneny. Would rather have seen him with Xhaka, even though he's not flavor of the month currently.
He needs to sharpen up though if he wants to convince Wenger. He wants to emulate Vieira? Vieira would have stomped all over this midfield today through sheer force of will, let alone with his technical quality. Big fan of the kid, but I know he can do a lot better.
Bellerin over Miki? He created 2 goals.Wow that was boring.
Honestly, I was expecting our performance to border on arrogance and come away with a very heavy win. I guess I underestimated Ostersunds to my own embarrassment and congratulations to them for it. However, on a negative side, that wasn't far off our starting XI and they really didn't play well enough at all.
Ospina 7
Bellerin 6
Mustafi 6
Chambers 6
Monreal 7
Maitland 4
Elneny 5
Miki 5
Iwobi 6
Özil 6
Welbeck 3
Wenger 3 - should have brought on youngsters as soon as we were 3-0 up. Why risk the seniors out here?
What the hell has happened to Welbeck? He's gone from being an ineffective workhorse, to ineffective and workshy?
And why is Kolasinac looking more and more underconfident?
It's a good point, well made. Maybe Mkhi can have a 6 then. I wasn't overwhelmed with his performance though he did produce the goods assist-wise.Bellerin over Miki? He created 2 goals.

I'll take a new president.First penalty saved in nearly 4 years apparently. There'll be a new US President before we save another one, hard to know which you want to come sooner.

Man of the match - Mohamed Elneny (Arsenal)
The Egyptian shone with some lovely touches on the artificial pitch
That's probably a good thing.
Probably Monreal for scoring a goal and showing some enthusiasm.Not tryna troll here... I would say its a toss up between El Neny and Iwobi as I feel the latter stood out to me out of the front 4 in the game but El Neny i watched closely and he definitely has quick decision making in tight spaces which really impressed me. Xhaka in his stead would have probably lost the ball a few times under pressure.
Could not have said it better myself. Add Iwobi to that list.Welbeck was always dogshit
