My Arsenal player ratings from our 0-0 draw with Southampton

Here are my Arsenal player ratings from tonight’s 0-0 draw against Southampton:

Petr Cech – Fairly comfortable night for the experienced goalkeeper. Distribution was good and wasn’t really threatened. 6/10

Hector Bellerin – Looks a bit disjointed at the moment and possibly in need of a rest. 5/10

Gabriel – did good alongside Koscielny with both covering each other. Was a bit rash in some challenges and could have given a pen away had Sadio Mane falling to the deck. 6/10

Laurent Koscielny – A commanding display from the centre-back but missed a sitter in the second-half to put the Gunners 1-0 up. 6/10

Nacho Monreal – Was superb defensively and also did well going forward. 6.5/10

Mathieu Flamini – Did what a defensive midfielder has to do – win back possession and protect the back four. 5/10

Aaron Ramsey – Worked hard to win back possession and always wanted the ball, but did nothing effective with it. 4/10

Joel Campbell – Made some decent runs forward to open up space but wasn’t at the races today. 5/10

Alexis Sanchez – The Chilean showcased his energy and pace once again and was a danger to Southampton’s defence, especially in the latter stages of the game. Needs to release the ball earlier. 6.5/10

Mesut Ozil – Was effective throughout and always looked to create. Missed two great chances in the opening 20 minutes though. 7/10

Olivier Giroud – Slow start from the French striker but picked up in the second. Had a handful of chances on goal but couldn’t find the back of the net with at least one. 5.5/10

SUBS:

Theo Walcott – Replaced Campbell in the 62^nd minute and squandered two decent efforts to put Arsenal ahead. Fairly ineffectual after this. 5/10

Francis Coquelin – On for Flamini with six minutes left to play. Got booked. N/A
