Jesus Fails to Save Us Too Little Too Early Ratings V Lens


By Boston Gooner and Boris Mellor
October 4 2023

I was at the match Arsenal V Lens some 20 years or so ago, that was an even more miserable experience than last nights 2-1 thumping.Mainly because this time I was in comfort of living room watching it on TNT Sports (isnt that a false description] being lulled to sleep by Owen and Keown, this time no need to make the long miserable trek home from the giant concrete toilet that was Wembley. You think this was bad try reliving the last time.

Boston has provided ratings but can't be bothered with subs, I can see his point.

I wont bother to rate them as it was too little to late. Although ESR and Whie were ceratinly more active than those they replaced. I suppose any team missing two wingers the quality of Martinelli and Saka will take a bit drop in form.

Boston Gooner ratings follow:


Raya. 4. The 2 biggest games he's played Spurs and Lens he's been average and made mistakes.


Takehiro Tomiyasu 4. Had a glorious chance to make it 2-1. But he's not the answer for Fullback. Whites safe.

Saliba. 4 His poorest game.

Gabriel 4. Passing was terrible.


Oleksandr Zinchenko 3. Let us down again defensively for a goal conceded.

Declan Rice 7. Best player but that wasn't hard tonight.

Martin Odegaard 3. Oh dear me can I play against Bournemouth every week

Kai Havertz 4. So what the hell are we supposed to do with him

Bukayo Saka 6. Set up Jesus for goal. Injured again.


Gabriel Jesus 6. Scored but that was about it.


Leandro Trossard 4. Poor. He's not good enough to start, lacks pace.

Worst performance of the season.
Defence was terrible
Passing was poor and mistakes throughout game.
