My Arsenal player ratings from today’s FA Cup win v Liverpool

My Arsenal player ratings from this evening’s 2-1 FA Cup win against Liverpool (feel free to argue or agree with me):

Lukasz Fabianski – The Polish goalkeeper impressed with some good saves from Luis Suarez and co. Read the game superbly and was consistent throughout. 8/10

Carl Jenkinson – Defended well and was able to keep up with pace of Raheem Sterling and Daniel Sturridge. Great energy levels and offered the overlap at times. 7/10

Per Mertesacker – Struggled in the early stages of the first-half with the pace of Suarez and was caught out at times which led to Liverpool chances. Got better as the game went on. 6/10

Laurent Koscielny – Composed himself well after initial positioning errors in the first-half. Grew into the game as it wore on and got stuck in. 7/10

Nacho Monreal – Was booked early which led to him being cautious when going in for a tackle. Did well. 6/10

Mikel Arteta – Showcased his passing range once again and was competent in midfield throughout. 6/10

Mathieu Flamini – Marshalled the midfield superbly and got stuck in. Led by example. Booked. 7.5/10

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – Drove the side forward constantly, made some clever and powerful runs throughout and netted Arsenal’s first. Man of the Match. 9/10

Lukas Podolski – Offered Arsenal more of an attacking threat and always looked to shot. Got back when needed to and scored Arsenal’s winner. Good outing for the German. 7.5/10

Mesut Ozil – Made things happened with his superb passing and awareness. Better energy levels this evening and is quietly proving his doubters wrong. Great performance by the German maestro. 7.5/10

Yaya Sanogo – Was isolated upfront but linked well with Chambo and wasn’t afraid of battling with Liverpool’s centre-backs. Bit clumsy at times but still has a lot to learn. 6/10

SUBS:

Santi Cazorla – Came on for Podolski in the 69th minute. Made a few decent passes here and there, and also some clever runs. Blasted a great chance over the bar. 5/10

Kieran Gibbs – Replace Chamberlain in the 75th minute. Offered more stability and protection to the booked Monreal and also got forward when in possession. N/A

Olivier Giroud – Came on for Sanogo in the 88th minute. Touched the ball once. N/A
