No. 10 and Striker

CAM. Arsenal. AARON RAMSEY. 7.6. <strong>Man of the Match. </strong>A very, very positive, Ramsey-esque performance for the Welshman and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. He was a constant threat getting forward, is, as always, capable of absolutely anything, and that plays to Arsenal’s advantage given how methodical they can me. He gave the ball away a few times, sure, but he more than made up for it with fantastic attacking play. Yes, he is a No. 10. Get over it.

7.6. If he’d have played the full 90, he’d have gotten man of the match, but as he missed out on the imperative last quarter hour, I had to go elsewhere with it. Still, he was fantastic. He led the team in created chances with four, was an innovative attacker that wasn’t solely interested in ending his goal drought. Those goals will come if he keeps playing like this.. ST. Arsenal.
