How Arsenal rated in their disappointing 3-1 defeat to West Brom

Add as preferred source on Google

Hector Bellerin – His hair was a talking point on social media, but his overall performance wasn’t great on Saturday. The Spaniard wasn’t as dangerous as he normally is in attack, while he failed to complete a single ball recovery. 4

Shkodran Mustafi – Although the German won three aerial duels, he struggled with the physicality of West Brom, particularly from set pieces. He did manage to make a crucial clearance off the line in the second half, but he will be disappointed with his overall display. 5

Laurent Koscielny – He is seen as one of the best defenders in the league, but he didn’t show that at the Hawthorns. Like Mustafi, he didn’t deal with the aerial presence of West Brom at set pieces and the overall organisation was poor. 5

Nacho Monreal – The Spaniard was tidy in possession and managed to complete 95% of his passes. That said, he didn’t do anything substantial with his passes. In defence, he was okay without ever standing out. Another consistent performance from the left back, but he needs to do more at times. 6
