Athletic Club v The Arsenal – 0-2: Player Ratings
David Raya – 7 Another game where Raya did very little but what he did do, he did well. Strong distribution throughout and was quick off his line where necessary. A few routine stops but was never really stretched. Best moment: Rushed off his line to head away when Athletic looked to counter dangerously following…

The Arsenal v Nottingham Forest 3-0 Back to winning ways.
Not quiet the fireworks from the first home game of the season versus Leeds but there was a lot of similarities between the two games, including another strong performance, clean sheet and ultimately another three points in the bag. There were a lot of positives to take from the game with Nottingham Forest being held…

The Arsenal v Nottingham Forest – 3-0: Player Ratings
David Raya – 7 Marked slightly higher this week as there were no little lapses with his distribution. I’m still not sure if he touches that Chris Wood chested effort onto the bar or not but let’s give our number 1 the benefit of the doubt and call it a save. If he did save…

Liverpool v The Arsenal 1-0…a setback.
I took my time in writing this one as after the game, it really was so raw and unbelievably disappointing. Going to Anfield I’m nearly always in a ‘I would love a point’ sort of a mood and this was no different but there was something in the back of my mind that made me…

Liverpool v The Arsenal – 0-1: Player Ratings
David Raya – 6 Hard to rate higher than a 6 as he didn’t have a lot to do. I’m not sure I remember a quieter goalkeeping performance away at Anfield in recent memory. Commanding his box well, distribution was good, aside from one poor pass that fortunately went unpunished. Needs to cut these odd…

The Arsenal v Leeds – 5-0: Player Ratings
David Raya – 7 Solid performance in goal to pick up another clean sheet. Great save to keep the score at 0-0 early on and his distribution was particularly impressive at times. Best moment: Undoubtable that save from Struijk in Leeds’ only real attack of the game. Jurrien Timber – 9 What can you say…

The Arsenal v Leeds 5:0 – Almost the perfect first home game of the season…
It was wasn’t it?! As the title suggests, so much went right during this game. On a sunny day at The Emirates for the first home game of the season, expectations and excitement were high. A win on the opening day of the season at Old Trafford was the perfect start to the new season…
