Lets get into the players rating for our game against West Ham. To be fair it was not a comfortable game for us. Arsenal were very naïve and disrespected West Ham from the start of the match. We made it too difficult for ourselves and had to grind out a win in the last minutes.

We needed a game like this to reflect to our performance and improve. For example we know now that Kolasinac is not good enough for Arsenal and should not play again, he was the worst player on the pitch by a mile. It was his weak sense of defense that lead to West Ham scoring. We wonder why the manager didn’t play Maitland-Niles or Saka instead.

Gabriel had another man of the match performance, he really put his body on the line and if it wasn’t for him we would have lost the game. Saka set up both goals he was good on the ball but he wasn’t offering enough in defense. Same as Ceballos and Xhaka, they played very well in the second half and helped us get back in the game.
