Arsenal Player Ratings v Cardiff City
By Eduardo
January 1 2014
Szczesny 7 - little to do, did it well, including great save in injury time
Sagna 8 - solid in defence, important part in opening goal
Mertesacker 6 - ok in defence, booked, missed two great chances
Koscielny 7 - solid
Monreal 6.5 - steady game, expected more from him in attack, good cross on first goal
Flamini 6 - ok, nothing more
Arteta 6.5 - a double pivot with Flamini did not work
Walcott 8 - scored and always a threat
Wilshere 8.5 - our MOTM, kept us going forward and involved in most of our best moves/chances, assist for second goal
Cazorla 7 - busy game, involved in a lot of our better moves
Podolski 4 - woeful game, showed again he is more of a lw than a cf
Subs
Rosicky 6.5 - helped up our tempo, but gave away the ball a few times
Bendtner 8 - gets couple of extra points for the crucial goal, injured, hopefully not serious
Veermaelen n/a - only on for few minutes
