Arsenal 2-0 Napoli – player ratings

Another game, another win, and this time in the
'group of death'. How did the players rate?
See below …
Wojciech Szczesny: 7/10 – Had little to do but
claimed crosses and corners well. Spent most of his
time looking disdainfully at Napoli shots flying over
the bar.
Bacary Sagna: 8/10 – Bacary Sagna.
Per Mertesacker: 8/10 – Unflappable.
Mertmungous. Per-fect.
Laurent Koscielny: 8/10 – Untroubled by anything.
Expect maybe Hamsik's haircut.
Kieran Gibbs: 8/10 – Consistent again, he's really
putting it in this season.
Mathieu Flamini: 8/10 – Chaaaaaaaaarrrggge!
Aaron Ramsey: 8/10 – Great assist for Ozil and is
linking brilliantly with the German already. Imagine
when they get to know each other properly. However,
no goals in 1 game for him. Worrying.
Mikel Arteta: 8/10 – Got a good 90 minutes under
his belt, took a nasty whack to the head in the
process which was so bad it dented his Lego hair. He
didn't care though.
Tomas Rosicky: 7/10 – Looked a bit off the pace
after 5 or 6 games out with injury but was his usual
industrious, running all over the place self. Might
have scored early in the second half.
Mesut Ozil: 9/10 – Got his first Arsenal goal and
what a goal it was too. The finish was just sublime,
swerving just beyond the reach of that baldy
Mugsmasher. Then set up Giroud for our second.
Quality.
Olivier Giroud: 8/10 – Fine goal and fantastic play
all over the park tonight. Strong, committed, held it
up well and is really important to the way we're
playing right now.
Subs
Jack Wilshere: 7/10 – Came on for Rosicky, had
some lovely moments, skipping past tackles and
trying to make things happen in a second half in
which not much did.
Nacho Monreal: n/a – Not really on long enough
